    Adding A Second Direct CO2 Line

    I might just have to bite the bullet and get this. Good find, looks like $50 after shipping. I’ll update and see how well it works when it gets in. I guess most other people who keg would just have a keg full of soda water, I just don’t have the space for another keg.

    What I did for beer today

    I made the All Together NEIPA recipe from Other Half, my second attempt at one of my favorite styles. I’m still dialing in my process parameters, I just made the jump from 1 gallon to 2.5 gallon batches and my final volume was 18% less than expected which is frustrating. FG was slightly high so...

    Adding A Second Direct CO2 Line

    I’m not planning to refill the cylinders because my CO2 tank doesn’t have a dip tube, rather I’m going to use the 5# cylinder as the sodastream cylinder. I’m hoping to avoid buying a second cylinder, it seems like an unnecessary cost

From what I have read, the SodaStream needs the full tank PSI...

    Closed pressure transfer from a plastic fermentation bucket

    In the spirit of experimentation I got some bulkhead ball-lock posts and installed them in the lid along with a floating dip tube. I transferred a few gallons of water with gas without any serious issues. I went up to ~2 psi and found CO2 leaking out of these divots which I presume are there...

    Closed pressure transfer from a plastic fermentation bucket

    Awesome, thanks all for your suggestions, I’m going to start playing around with the gamma lids and a dip tube to see if I can get a healthy siphon going. Do you know of any good ball-lock airlocks? I suppose I can just use a bit of tubing and a glass of sanitizer…

    Closed pressure transfer from a plastic fermentation bucket

    Hey all, I am just getting into kegging and I’m brainstorming ways to perform a closed transfer from my plastic fermentation bucket to a keg. I don’t have a ton of space so using one of my kegs to ferment will limit my batch size and how many beers I can have on tap at a time. I purchased...
