I dont have a keg yet, but that makes sense. Same leak checking procedure as my propane burner for brewing. Thanks much :)

I guess i'm just nervous...i've never used CO2 before and would prefer not to blow anything up. Plus, that metal thing the regulator is on doesnt feel very tight. I can spin it around, and i dont want it shooting off or anything.

Another question: It came with a 5lb CO2 tank, which still seems to have CO2 in it. While it has a regulator (it shows PSI), i have no idea how much is in there. What's a safe way to bleed out the gas so i can safely learn what the hell i'm doing with this thing?

Last question: Can buy replacement hose at Home Depot, or should i wait til i can get to my LHBS?

That's what i figured. Can i just buy regular hose clamps for the replacement hose?

I'm happy about this.

Hi guys, Jeez, been awhile since i've posted on here. How is everyone? Anyway, for my birthday on Friday, my girlfriend was gracious enough to buy me a used kegerator (Haier HBF05EABB) off of a friend. It's been sitting in his garage for quite awhile, and the cosmetic cleaning was easy...

I can probably make this.

Total of 160 cases in Illinois, i got one case for my store. And i broke a bottle yesterday :(

Ok, so, after bottling, i let it condition in the bottle for 2 weeks. On sampling the first bottle, i got some definate tannins...kinda like a Merlot, heh. Another 2 weeks really smoothed it out. It's just a TAD astringent in the bitterness, but honestly, this is the best beer i've brewed yet...

I use a 10 gallon igloo cooler, and on my first AG i missed my mash temp by so much going grain into water that i had to do 3 small decoctions...on a double IPA! Last brew, i calculated my strike water and subtracted 3 quarts. I took those 3 quarts and boiled them to pre-heat my mash tun. I...

How is this even a debate? Keep doing what you're doing. **** your HOA.

Sam's in Highland Park, $10.99.

At what temperature did you D'oh! in?

Looks like they brought it back earlier than planned, just got 5 cases delivered.

Actually, i'm going to Kuma's tonight with some co-workers...i've been going there since before the media went ape****, so i'm good pals with half the staff and can always get a table :D:D And yah, HP is pretty far up north, but i live in Rogers Park, so the commute isnt terrible. And...

3 drops of extract?

I voted for the Espresso Stout.

Sam's in Highland Park. And just to let everyone know, Ska has released a new beer, Modus Hoperandi, which is a session IPA that comes in 6 pack cans. I ordered a case, so there will be 3 (:) :mug: ) available here at my store as of tomorrow.

Odd, i dont remember posting in this thread, but apparently i have. Anyway, it's no longer Three Floyds, its Southern Tier.
