few questions.
thanks!
1 - no, it goes from fermenter to keg, gets gassed at ambient and popped in the fridge
2 - yes, all the time at dispensing pressure
3 - no, because I've not worried about it because it seems 'ok'
4 - fail safe and quickest ? It's whatever works for you.
1. No. From fermenter to keg, stick in fridge, hook up gas.
2. Yes, you got it, gas bottle on top of fridge, line goes in through door (haven't drilled a hole yet but have the fitting to do so).
3. Yes. Volume of co2 absorbed is a factor of temp/pressure. So if you keep your beers/fridge colder you will need to adjust your constant (dispensing) pressure. BUT, if you mean "do you need to change the pressure as the beer cools from fermenting temp to serving temp" - no, keep your pressure at your ideal dispensing rate for your final temp.
4. I have a new regulator that doesn't do psi, rather kPA or bar. My method is this:
In that case do you dry hop in the keg? And if so do you have any trouble with blockages?
I'm doing a secondary in a Carboy at the moment for dry hopping but if I can avoid it I will.
Cheers
I have trouble with blockages in the keg even when I dry hop in the fermenter - particles always get through. So much of an issue that I actually tend to avoid dry hopping - which sucks as obviously a lot of beers really benefit from it.
That is until I recently invested in a couple of these: http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=901
I got 2 from a shop in AKL and dropped them (full of Centennial) into my latest keg of pale ale for the case swap. Worked a bloody treat!!! No blockage, only tiny particles in the first few pints, then bright clear.
Bloody awesome, my dry hop hesitation factor just disappeared.
you could also sieve as it leaves the fermentor.
anyone had issues with CO2 leakage from y connectors? i immersed mine in water after noticing bottle gauge had dropped a smidge after 2 days. it had dropped a needles worth on the bar gauge. there was slight bubbles from y connector. whats average usuage with one keg?
there is no keg conected to the other connector
