Do you have a video on how you made your kegorator desk behind you?

Super duper helpful! New beer brewer here and acquired a kegerator and needed some guidance on which corny keg style would be best for me! Thanks for the awesome content.

As a previous Traeger+ user, I have recently switched to Asmoke and I must say, the difference is incredible. The Asmoke Essential offers precise temperature control within 5°F, thanks to its dual sensors and new PID algorithm, which is a game-changer for me. The convenience of remote temperature adjustment and food temperature monitoring via the app makes the grilling experience much more enjoyable. The versatility of this grill is unmatched - it's perfect for grilling, smoking, roasting, and even baking. Plus, the Asmoke Essential is battery-powered and portable, making it great for outings. The battery lasts up to 10 hours and it's rechargeable, so I can grill anywhere, anytime. Also, the use of various flavored wood pellets adds a new dimension to my dishes. I couldn't be happier with my decision to switch to Asmoke. #Asmoke

Thanks! I am from Uruguay, I´m spanish speaker, but I understand pretty much your video!

Are homebrewers all insanely weak? This is the third video I have watched about this fermenter and all say it's soooo heavy and here I am hearing 50 pounds like "Oh, that is barely anything." like I used to carry 80 pound bag of animal feed when I was like 15. 50 pounds is not heavy!

I bottle from my 3 gallon FF. I want to use dextrose for carbonation in the future, not carb drops. What's the "best" process for adding the dextrose solution to the FF in order to get a uniform distribution of dextrose per bottle?

These conical units would be great if you had an overhead suspension system or powered hoist mounted from above with a steel ring around the waist and some nylon lift straps or something.. I have the smaller 3 gallon loaded with cider right now in the stand and that is heavy and awkward enough.. lol I like it so far though. My next will probably be the FermZilla | 27L Conical Fermenter V3.2 that is out now. I want to try fermenting under pressure and being able to rack right from the floating dip tube outlet on the Fermzilla to a keg!! no oxygen contact at all :)

Thanks for the review. I just saw this on Amazon and was looking for something big enough to make a Sauvignon Blanc sparkling wine and this really fits the bill!! Think this will be my “tax return” gift to myself this year!

Good info, but skip the singing at the 7 min mark.

You just calmed my heart bro. Just got a used keg for the first time, never touched used or even seen a keg with my eyes till yesterday. Thought they delivered the wrong order since I ordered for ball lock but it’s a ball lock conversion on a pin lock keg and it has an auto pressure release when I was expecting a manual. Thought it was bad since everyone uses a manual release valve on all the videos I see. That’s why I’m here. Thanks man for this video. You’re explanations are gold.

Mine went together well and did not leak. After the first year I decided to redo the Teflon tape on the male threads at the bottom of the conical where ball valve assembly screws onto it. 10 wraps and it was leaking very little,, took all night to see water at the top of the ball valve assembly. So I wrapped it again, dropped an O-ring onto the lip of the ball valve assembly where the very end of the conical would meet there, then painted the conical male threads with beeswax that I melted in a water bath with a pan. Wrapped 2 more layers over the wax, screwed it on tight and, It stopped leaking

I have the 3 gallon one. I’ll get me a 7 gallon when I finally get the room to setup. And I’ve had no issues with mine. Just remember to anyone who’s starting out on one of these. Do not over tighten the ball valve! Add water into yours and start off with it as open as you can and slowly tighten till it’s snug. The valve WILL break if you don’t. Remember the amount of weight from volume is a lot more than you think, cause it gets funneled down to a single little hole.

Because it's useless to use Teflon on non sealing threads behind a sealing gasket.

Awesome my friend! Hi from Russia!🍻

can't wait to brew my kit. Doubt it will be a winner but I'm sure it will be good!

Does the lees stick to the sides at all?

watch it at 1.5

You can take 6ml & divide that by 4 giving you 1.5ml per 32oz/940ml of water.

It's been 5 years since you made this. Are you still using it? How has it help up? And, I'll be singing "I don't crack corn, so I don't care" all day now. Thanks for that!!

Yeah it's a handy little book alright, did the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. It came out OK, not entirely happy with it but it was quaff able enough. Cheers

I have one and foam sucks..think I'll run it outside I'm the winter see if that helps

That’s so much work handpicking apples.. just throw down a tarp with some paper weights and shake that tree till she’s naked

You suggest that the spray bottle can be kept and used several times but star san says the solution is only good for one hour. Have you encountered any problems with keeping it in the spray bottle and how long is it kept before you have to make a new solution for your spray bottle. I’m asking because my solution has been in my spray bottle for one than a week and I intend to use the solution for my next brew.

I live in Yuma, our ground water is 50 degrees c.

You forgot that the POST O-rings on ball, and pin lock are different.

i have a Grainfather and i always brew five gallons. which Jaded immersion chiller should i buy? i noticed they have several.

Been bottling beer for a while and wanted to start getting into kegging, thanks for the info :P

would you use this to clean or sanitize your bottles?

ohh forget it you talk toooo much

get to the point ...blah blah blah

Great help!

Thanks for the video

Thanks for the video. Just learning about this and very helpful info. Cheers.

Thanks for the video, I’ll save my money and just buy some more hop pouches.

thanks for sharing this installation guide it is much appreciated I have two questions the first and most important I bought a column still 2 inch width which I will install on a boiler lid that I will drill into I bought the bulkhead but I want to be sure . the hole that i should drill should be smaller than 2 inches right ? to avoid leakage ? second question do I need to use a coolant/lubricant or it's unnecessary for stainless steel ?

Lol a paint strainer bag is NOT FOOD GRADE

Marker 7. re: funnel leak. Likely it was debry between the units in the gasket. Spray the site with appropriate liquid before installing funnel.

I now have one of these - not yet used it - Q:- is it possible to pressurize these say up to 5psi cannot see any specs regarding this...joe

Virtually all the ebrew systems give you the same flexibility of recipes and brewing techniques. Spending all days setting up, cleaning and messing about is not brewing it is being a cleaner. If that’s what you like …. Fair enough, but personally I like making great beer, designing and brewing my own recipes and not spending hours tweaking an unreliable system to try and get a little consistency. Why is it a $3000 triple pot computer controlled three pump stainless steel ‘art piece’ is REAL brewing but a much simpler ebrew system is not? The both have controllers They both have pumps They both have the flexibility to brew virtually any beer style. But one takes hours to clean, and one doesn’t. I am guessing that ‘real brewing’ equates to washing the system. Each to his own….

Just started All Grain Brewing in a small way initially 1 gal - I don't think I will be going above 3 gal - would this fastfermenter fit the bill ...joe

Good discussion video thanks for sharing!

As a first timer looking to upgrade from simple DIY extract kits, this review was absolutely phenomenal!

Do you have a link for the thermometer that you use?

What kind of gloves are you using? Great stuff, thanks!

dude! did it leak?

How about volume of mash and wort? Can u brew like 10% beer with 20 -30 lb grains?

I wish they offered the Robobrew without the chiller.

Have two of them when they first came out and ran a couple dozen brews; good upgrade from glass carboys; but has some significant issues. Making leap over to stainless unit now; as they are beyond their age and don't owe me anything. 1. Valve feels shoddy and requires 2 hands to turn; lots of force (almost feels like it will break). You can dislodge seal and cause a leak (i did). 2. Valve can capture product when closed and destroy brew; always open/close when cleaning. 3. Teflon tape needed for every tear/down and clean. Skipping the tape results in leak. Would of liked to to see a o-ring or other for a common take apart for "cleaning" each time part. 4. Lid can leak/warp; not a great seal; hole for airlock was custom (I drilled it out)... 5. When screwing un-screwing adapters on bottom; very easy to dislodge the valve and seal; again; causing a leak. Why they didn't use reverse threads here and a o-ring... blows my mind. Some minor engineering flaws unfortunately plague this unit; just keep those in mind, would of been perfect with 2-3 small changes. For the price; eh; not awful. I'd probably go with Catalyst if I was buy again in the "budget hobbyist range". My dream is a unit like this with a tri-clamp on bottom. I really dont need an entire stainless tank (oooo so shiny); just the valve. I may retro-fit one as a test.

Pin Lock it is then! 🍻

Thanks for the video. I am doing my first batch ever. I added priming sugar in primary a week ago. Is it a good time now to add gelatin? Being a beginner i don't have force carbonation facility. So if I add gelatin now will it reduce whatever carbonation has happened till now?
