I run three picnic taps from my keezer. When ever friends are over, the keezer is always a mess. I just make the one who passes out first clean up the bottom of the keezer. I, like ed wort, try to do it myself but my friends enjoy the homebrew too much for me to sit by the kegs all night...

I had the same problem when I purchase 3 soda kegs. After replacing the o rings and letting the kegs soak top to bottom in starsan for a couple of hours, a little of the smell still seemed to be there. Regardless of the smell, I pressed on and kegged my beer. Guess what...the beer...

I've always cleaned with water only and then used the "heavenly" star san, no rinse. I've never had a bad batch unlike my brother, who creates a tomato beer probably due his poor sanitation habits. I think the most important thing I do that doesn't seem important is that before I put my...

Thanks, that's kind of what I thought. It's bubbling real good. we'll see how it turns out.

Ok, my brother dropped off a bunch of different ingredients. None for a particular beer. So I decided to put them together an see what I'd get. A Little crazy but it was free. Here are the materials and the how. What type of beer do you think it is? Extract Brew 6 lbs Extra Light...

So does this mean you can use starsan for sanitizing kegs?

Thanks makes sense to me.

I just purchased a 15 cu ft freezer for $50 on Craigslist. I was planning on building a collar for it, but after looking at the hinges on the back. It seems much easier to use a tower as the corny kegs will easily fit without a collar. Personally, I like the tower look more than the collar...

looks great!

Thanks for answering all my questions. They're extremely helpful. That's why I love this forum. The purge thing is just something I wasn't sure about. I've read but don't fully understand it. After fill the corny and capping, if I set the my co2 to 12psi, will that get rid of the oxygen...

Lots of questions about kegging... Does beer continue to condition when it's been cooled and carb at 40 degrees? If I carb a beer and remove the keg from CO2, how long will that beer be okay in the keg? If I crash cool in the secondary and transfer to a keg, what pressure should I purge...

I scored a 15 cu ft freezer for $50. :rockin: I'm so exicted to start kegging this week. I'll have lots of questions about kegging during the coming weeks.

I just brew an ESB a week ago and transfered to the secondary today. Man, did it ever taste good comin out of the primary. It contained 3 oz of Willamette hops and 1 oz of Colombus hops. I picked up the kit from my local brew shop in St. Charles. I've never brew a bad batch on their...

I know this is late. But I'm going with the chest freezer and conversion. I perfer the customization opinions and the energy effeciency of the chest freezer.

Ha, ha, ha...maybe it will get the plants drunk.
