i have a pin lock keg with a leaking static relief valve. The lid looks like this: I can't figure out how to remove the innards of the relief valve to fix it. Any ideas?
I have a 19L corny keg full of NEIPA that I wanted to force carb and get drinking quickly. After cooling the keg to 6 degrees I gave it an initial blast of CO2 to 30 psi. As I was shaking the keg, I knocked over the tank and broke my only regulator. It's not easy to buy one where I live so I ordered a new regulator online, but it will take about a week to arrive. So now …
We have a very tiny house. I brew in the garage and bottle there. I want to keg so bad but I am having trouble finding room for some kegs (in something to keep them cold). Anyone have some genius idea to store a kegging system in my house that would hold at least 2 kegs, if not 3+. More details: single story on a crawl, anything outdoors will freeze, I have an attic and I'm not afraid to use …
So, i've done a few brews before (brew in a bag) but this is my first since getting a fridge and a corny keg. My beer has finished fermenting, and I've transferred it (minus the bottom gallon or so with all the crap) into a corny keg and put the keg in the fridge (at about 2.2C/36F) to cold crash it. (the main reason I did this is because the corny keg is the only thing that will fit in …
I'm looking for a line cleaning socket for a Cornelius keg fitting. I've worked in the pub trade (UK) for more years than I care to remember so know how bars are set up and I am familiar with line cleaning etc. When I have performed line cleaning, there has always been a socket on the wall that I have connected the keg coupler too. does anyone know where I can find a wall socked for a Cornelius keg, ball …
My old valve (on the right) was leaking so ordered a new one from Amazon. It was the only kind I could find so assumed they were all the same. It doesn't seem to fit my keg though. Can someone tell me what "style" my old one is so I can order the correct one?
I've got a basic beer serving fridge out in the garage, just a few taps on the front and some bottles on the door. I'm developing a problem with what looks kinda like mold, I notice it mostly on the black rubberish top area but some on the stainless as well. It looks like it was peppered with a bunch of little tiny snowballs, white round and spread pretty evenly with some areas more concentrated then others. The mold substance …
I got an annoyance issue here. I have a Cornelius keg 19lt and 15-16 liter batch of Wit-beer almost ready to go, but poorly timed.Issue is I currently don't have the CO2 regulator or Tank. Reason for this is currently I shouldn't really be dropping money to get it within the near future (2 months) and due to other commitments I can't really be spending time bottling either over the same period. I'd like to just dump the whole lot …
Background After my beer reached FG I transferred it into a corny keg, cold crashed in my keezer at 42°F, and fined with gelatin. 48 hours after adding the gelatin I pulled about a pint of sludge until the beer was looking clear. I'd like to add priming solution to the beer and bottle straight from my corny keg in a few days. Questions If I pour my priming solution into the top of the keg, will it mix effectively …
I have not had time to get brew ready for Christmas, so I’m looking to at least fill my Corny kegs with some shop bought beer I.e. 5 litre keg or a box of cider, just so people have the novelty of serving it from the tap when they come over. What should the procedure be? What are the risks? Will the beer just taste stale after a few days? Etc?
I have a standard stainless steel Hansen Coupler for Pin-Lock type Cornelius Kegs. I'm trying to find the exact specs on both the 1/4 MFL and the inside (female) threads, where it connects to the actual pin lock coupler. The coupler and the 90 degree elbow unscrew, and the coupler itself has a male threaded end that I've seen various places refer to as 7/8-14 and 5/8 BSP - but it doesn't seem quite that big. Is that correct, or …
I finished lagering and my recipe/ method says after lagering until desired clarity is reached then bottle and add required amount of sugar and condition at room temperature for at least a week. I’m not bottling as I have Corny keg setup, so I can add CO2 artificially to carbonate. Is it still worth leaving the keg at room temperature for any length of time, before chilling to serving temperature. Thanks Alex
I am new to kegging my beer. In a video I saw somebody putting Vaseline on all of the gaskets of his corny-kegs. I was wondering if this kills the foam of the beer. Or do I have to lube the gaskets for a better seal?!
It may seem odd that a Homebrewer wants to do this, but my last batch didn't go to plan and then my wife decided to invite our friends round for a BBQ this coming Saturday. I'd prefer to have something on tap even if it is a commercial lager. Therefore, my question is what are my method options for filling the corny keg with say 5 to 8 litres of commercial lager. Can I start with a 5L party keg …
Right now I'm carbonating hard cider in 5 gallon corny kegs at 35psi for about 48 hours. What I'm wondering is: Will the same pressure/time in larger vessels (say, 1/4 barrel kegs, or 1/2 barrel kegs) produce the same results? Or will the larger vessels require more time? Other details: No carbonation stone, not shaking the keg, carbonating at ~36°F
I recently ordered a pair of used ball lock Cornelius kegs from a website. One of the posts of one of the kegs is slightly bigger than the other. In order to get the beer out line onto the keg in the first place, I needed a mallet. I could not get the out line off even with a monkey wrench and a screwdriver. I eventually chopped the ball lock connector in half with a dremel tool. The problem post …
If I force carbonate my keg, and after that I close my CO2 cilinder valve and plug my gas line into my gas in quick disconnect. Would this make my CO2 regulator to work as a spunding valve and let me regulate the CO2 pressure inside my keg? This things works in both flow ways? If not, there is a way to properly measure the psi inside the keg without buying a pressure gauge for that? That's my plan on …
I'm planning on build one cooler based dispensing system for my kegs. My previous experience was with a box with 2 aluminium coils (~15m long) and 2 faucets. It holds a 20 Kg ice pack. And the beer pour is just fine when the carbonation and settings are OK. But, I've found that for a period of a party/beer session, that amount of ice is overshoot. If full of ice, the box let you drink cold beer for about 3 …
