    Oxygen suckback during cold-crashing

    Hi! One idea is to harvest the CO2 released during fermentation in a large balloon-type container which will be pulled back into the FV during cold crashing. I wonder whether you could rig up a heavy-duty refuse bag to collect CO2?

    Oxygen suckback during cold-crashing

    Hi! I have always cold-crashed and have never experienced any problems from oxidation. @Tunabeast try replacing the airlock with a solid plug; any CO2 that dissolves into the beer will create a vacuum and suck the lid tighter onto the FV. I assume that you have read this...

    Kegerator taps: shanks

    Hi! The exterior panel of the fridge door will be metal. If your shank is almost too short, try attaching it to the metal panel only. Of course, this will mean cutting out a channel through the inner panel and the insulation.

    any experience with £25 "homebrew" pump

    Hi! As @BeerCat wrote, the ball valve on the output port of the pump is used to control the flow. These are magnetic pumps - they continue to turn without harming the motor even if the output is just a trickle. You must not restrict the input to the pump. This type of pump is not controlled by...

    Keezer Build Question

    Hi @-Bezza- Yes, generally, you will use the same serving pressure for each keg and use a different line length to balance the pour correctly. When I used the "set and forget" method I kept the CO2 connected. I checked the system for leaks before connecting the keg - this is essential whatever...

    Keezer Build Question

    Hi! While it is undoubtedly cheaper to run three kegs off one regulator, you will have more flexibility with secondary regulators. With a single secondary pass-through regulator you could be force carbing one keg while maintaining serving pressure in the other kegs. Having said that, you can...
