    Carbonation Cap

    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.

    Carbonation Cap

    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....

    Carbonation Cap

    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?

    New Keg System

    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.

    Line Clamps?

    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...

    New Keg System

    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...

    Brewshield

    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...

    Kegging Questions

    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...

    Brewshield

    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...

    Kegging Questions

    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...

    One Extreme To The Other

    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...

    One Extreme To The Other

    Johnno, I am also fairly new to brewing but I would think that you might be getting a high reading because of bubbles in the beer attaching to the hydrometer. You may be already aware of what follows but just in case... If you take a sample there is almost always some head and bubbles in...

    So Wot's The Story Behind The Handles

    I Nearly have a fully set up kegging system. I Nearly have the beer to my taste. I Nearly finished the list of jobs the missus gave me. I Nearly got off my bum and finished the fence. I Nearly came up with a moniker. :rolleyes:

    Irrigation Fittings Onto Fermenter. Is This Ok?

    If the tube is long enough to just lift out of the water then you dont have to worry. If you remove the tube let the water get in if it wants. (Or put something in tray to keep it lifted out when fermenter is out of tray) When ready to reconnect just run some clean water through and let it...

    Bleach As A Sanitiser

    Well said deebee! :) Perhaps fiscus would consider moving your post and any others like it to a FAQ page or at least a 'Tips you oughta know' permanent thread.

    Irrigation Fittings Onto Fermenter. Is This Ok?

    BS, Couldnt you achieve the same thing by putting the standard tap into the fermenter with it angled horizontaly instead of vertically. Then attach clear racking hose onto it and have that go out up and over the side of the water tray. You would be able to get a sample because the head of...
