I'm kind of at a loss here... I've had my beer in a 5-gallon keg in my fridge at about 32 degrees (I know that's colder than most people run it, but as far as I know it shouldn't be a problem) and the CO2 running to it at about 15 PSI. The CO2 shares a distribution system with a regular keg of Sam A...

Using old CO2 lines?

The big 5-keg fridge I bought has a built-in CO2 distribution system including multiple nozzles and gauges. It's a pretty nice setup. So far I've only been running one keg out of it, and ultimately I'll only run two at a time tapped, so I've been using the old setup from my one-keg fridge. Now that ...

I appreciate the offer but I'll be out of town this weekend (Busch Gardens, actually, home of America's Mediocre Beer). I'm on the other side of Jax but I do like Seven Bridges...

Help with learning to keg 'em

These are both technique and equipment questions. From poking around here for a few days, I've decided to skip bottling (I did a little of it with a simple Mr. Beer kit a few times before I got my big brewing setup) and go straight to 5 gallon Cornie kegging. But after searching around, I found a wh...

New guy here just catching up on old posts (and interested in kegging in particular) but when I moved recently I started using a new shop for my monthly Sam Adams keg purchase, and the new shop took my extra kegs and paid me a deposit refund. I was surprised but he indicated the distributor covered ...

I have a monstrous 5-keg DD78E BeverageAir, but it leaks water and I have to shop-vac the moisture out of the bottom of it every week or so (about 1/2+ gallon of water a week). Fortunately it's in a concrete-floored "mud room" area (the lines run through the wall and the faucets are built ...

Shoot, I was getting ready to bottle a batch, but I might just go pick up a keg and start right out that way...

I'm very new to homebrewing but I have a keg fridge with two faucets, and I've been wanting to switch to the keg route fairly soon. Does the addition of all that priming sugar really contribute no taste to the final product? I always assumed it must alter the taste. No?

LONG time in secondary... toss it?

My wife bought me a pretty decent homebrew setup for my birthday earlier this year, and I eagerly dove into brewing up a batch. I'd used one of those little Mr. Beer things a couple times and really wanted more -- and eventually I want to keg it. Unfortunately, just a few days after I transferred ev...
