PaddyBrew2 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Ok. So I haven’t smothered every man woman and child within a two mile radius with leaky co2. I have cleaned and sanitised my kegs and run the star sun through the lines. I hooked the gas and liquid lines up to the kegs. I’m going to keg my NEIPA this evening as it’s been a week and she’s done. She got down to 1.008 which is 3 points lower. I pitched two packs of yeast so I think that’s why it went lower and it’s a lallemand beast yeast dumb question number 1 which is the psi markings on the regulator. I assume the middle markings as the others are Bar and kpa dumb question number 2 how do I slow the pour from my taps. I’ve been a bar man since I was 16 and if you’re pouring foamy beer you just slow down your pour. But on these taps I don’t see anything which lets me slow the pour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You add extra line length. The longer your beer line, the more resistance and therefore the slower the pour. What ID are you lines and what regulator pressure will you be using? We can recommend a beer line length to get you in the right ball park. Mitch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyBrew2 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Cheers mate I have the mk4 reg and I have 4mm x 8mm beer line I will be fast carbing at 30 for two days then down to 12 psi to pour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I always recommend starting longer and cutting down if the pour is too slow. So maybe start at 2m and see if you like it. If its too slow, cut a bit off and try again. Mitch.

PaddyBrew2 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Cheers mate, i just measured the line and i have approx 1.5 metres, i just noticed the sanitised water poured through the tap pretty fast. would lowering the psi reduce the pour?

MitchellScott Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Set it to 40PSI for 24 hours then set to 12PSI for the remainder of the days, it will be fully carbed by Friday doing it that way. I put a cup of water in my fridge and it measures between 2-3C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. 5-6 days and it will be good enough. I keg on a Sunday and usually crack one on the Thursday night. It takes a couple of extra days to be perfect though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyBrew2 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 ive just kegged her. only got 17 litres in there from the fermentor. May need to rejig my beersmith settings to ensure i get 19. hooked her up to 40 psi for 24 hours ,then i'll set her at 12. i filled the keg with c0s first, then just took the lid off and filled her via sawn off bottle wand and silicone tubing from the bottom up. purged her a few times and shut the kegerator door. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a timeline to work off, I could probably figure out what circus you escaped from. On a personal note, quite interesting that you compare your hair growth with something resembling that of a Labrador. Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
