Otto Von Blotto Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 I'm hoping the pale ale ends up empty on new year's too. That'd be a record, empty in one night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should dislodge anything stuck at the tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 It might be easier to just dismantle it. Probably due for a dismantle anyway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 12/6/2018 at 12:42 PM, Otto Von Blotto said: I usually get about a year from a 6.8kg cylinder, doing carbonation, serving and cleaning. At a guess if you're doing the same a 2.8kg cylinder would last a few months. But of course it depends how many kegs are going through it. I've tried to count mine in the past but always lose track. I started keeping track of my gas tank purchases quite a while back to gauge how long they last. At the time I felt there were some inconsistencies as to how long they were lasting. I didn't know if I had a leak or there was something up with the tanks themselves as I was purchasing from two different brew shops. I use the 2.6kg tank size & get 11-12 kegs/brews out of them. That is using it for cleaning, carbing & dispensing. My current run is up to 11 kegs & still going, although the tank is certainly light & not far away from requiring a refill I suspect. I queried one of the suppliers I was purchasing tanks from & tracked my last purchase from them. It only lasted 9 kegs/brews. I no longer purchase tanks from them anymore. Cheers, Lusty.

ben 10 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 tracking the use of the big one now. little one cost $22 to refill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Mine just emptied today purging the keg I filled earlier. Good timing I guess, now I can get a new one early next week and start trying to track it. Maybe hang a notepad or something on it and put a tally mark down each time a keg blows dry.

Beer Baron Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I kegged my crappy LHBS FWK yesterday. It ended up at 1.006 which makes it 4.2%. The small sample I had tastes thin with no body and a bit watery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I’ll be kegging two beers tomorrow, the all cascade Choice bro pale, and a pacific ale with Enigma and Galaxy. They will be put on serving pressure and be ready for Boxing Day drinks when I get back from work. Looking forward to these ones as the wife won’t be able to drink them both while I’m gone ha ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Sample from the Pacific ale with enigma/galaxy 2:1 is very promising. Very very fruity! Also the all cascade with 20 odd % crystal is tasting great too. Will report back in a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shortage of gas atm is really only affecting your ability to push the beer out, not maintain carbonation. Relax bud. Just disconnect any current gas lines to the keg(s) & grab yourself a refilled gas tank as soon as is convenient. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 @The Captain1525230099, I know it doesn't help now, but you need two bottles. I have a 2.8 and a 6 so i can swap and go at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
