Doc, I heard today that the carbonation caps may be prone to splits. Just letting you know that it may pay to be gentle with it.

Thanks for the info Doc... I mean it.... you have been a great source of info for me, and no doubt many others. Good on ya.

Doc, Would you use your carbonation cap or your counter pressure bottle filler to create takeaways? I am wondering if the cap is the takeaway solution I have been looking for....

Doc, Looks very interesting... forgive my thickness.... How do you carbonate with it? Bung on some high pressure for a short while and shake? Would it be a good way to carbonate a couple of bottles from each brew ( the rest into the keg) so you have sediment free takeaways?

Linz you are a T.A.B. :rolleyes: One of the best.... that is brilliant.... who would of thort of looking for 'brewing fridge controllers' under 'Tropical Diamond Python, supplies and equipment'. D'oh!! <_< No wonder I never find the cheap stuff... I only look for brewing equipment under...

JasonY, As requested I have added some links to my long winded post about balanced systems. Unfortunately I didnt keep the various sites that I first found when looking into all this... some had much better explanations... anyway, hope these are of some use.

Famous, The regulator works in reverse to what you probably think... screwing IN increases pressure. So turn gas off... burp the kegs down to near nothing pressure then wind the screw all the way OUT then turn the gas on. Now slowly wind screw IN and try dispensing at various points...

Congratulations Trough. It feels great doesnt it! :D Later on though.... my two girls say "Daaaad!!! Not brewing.... not Beeer!!" every time I go to show them one the fascinating finer points of brewing... :P In truth it just keeps getting better as they grow older... I drink to...

JasonY, This post may be a bit late... and it is rather long... also my opinions differ somewhat from the mainstream of members here who have consistently achieved excellent results with their kegs using different techniques to those I espouse below. I am fairly new to kegging but after...

Thanks for that Linz and everyone else, It makes sense out of it for me.... I am going to continue to use brewshield until/unless it lets me down. The big news from what you guys have told me is that it breaks down.. I was under the impression that the spray bottle would be good for...

In my situation I think Andrew maybe has it right.... I think now that it is caused by the tap being warmer than the beer. The second beer goes through a much colder tap. I dont loose pressure when dispensing because I never change my regulator pressure... it is always the same for...

No takers? Nobody else experienced this? :(

I have been using a Brewiser product called Brew-Shield Sanitiser lately. I love it. I was wondering what others think of it. The reason I am asking is it seems too good to be true. It claims to be an instant sanitiser and it claims (and appears) to be odorless and tasteless. It has saved...

Hello fellow keggers, I have noticed that if I pour two beers, one after the other, the second beer allways has less head. Its not a problem.... it is still ok... its just noticably less foam/head in the second beer. If I drink by myself the head is almost too much. So it seems that the...

Hang on... after a closer read I see that you are not doing a 'kit and kilo' but rather a 'kit and kilo and a half'. I dont have the experience to say for sure but isnt that the reason that the readings are high? On another note... what does the collective think about boiling kits? I have...
