Then just dispense with the gas. <br />The fridge also helps in clearing the beer - after the first cloudy pint I get very clear beer from the corny.Cormac O'Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908578086448316119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-48940603438710375452009-08-22T12:12:07.228+01:002009-08-22T12:12:07.228+01:00Cormac - What's the best way to carbonate then...Cormac - What's the best way to carbonate then, if I can't get a decent sized cylinder? Prime with a decent measure of sugar and top up with the cylinder when required?<br /><br />A fridge will help no end because a far lower pressure will be required for carbonation. I hope to get one soon.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734969599278020673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-11939057563766898752009-08-21T23:47:18.973+01:002009-08-21T23:47:18.973+01:00The pressure release valve will indeed kick in, bu...The pressure release valve will indeed kick in, but I often whack it up to 20psi, and people force carb a lot higher than that with no issues.<br /><br />Geoff does a neat 3lb cylinder, but you'll fly through it if you force carb with it.Cormac O'Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908578086448316119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-58405126465736036712009-08-21T13:03:00.535+01:002009-08-21T13:03:00.535+01:00True, Geoff offered a set up, but it was top notch...True, Geoff offered a set up, but it was top notch pricey. I think I'll take my chances with a cheap white goods fridge, but space is more of a problem. <br /><br />Geoff mentioned he could get some gas for me, which I'll look into.<br /><br />Oblivious - just checked my keg and it is indeed rated for greater than 100 psi - 130 in fact. But doesn't the pressure release valve kick in long before that pressure is reached?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734969599278020673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-4350520390550833862009-08-21T11:11:07.967+01:002009-08-21T11:11:07.967+01:00Corny's are test to 100 psi+ I beliveCorny's are test to 100 psi+ I beliveOblivioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184794716327407609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-91996703417089021792009-08-20T19:17:24.747+01:002009-08-20T19:17:24.747+01:00Thom, have you not talked to Geoff at at B&C a...Thom, have you not talked to Geoff at at B&C about gas? Didn't he do a package deal with a fridge and the works?<br /><br />I'm so tired of bottling, but as I give half of my beer away, I'd still need to do some even if I got cornies. How I'd love some kegs. I keep telling myself I'll get some when ever we buy a damn house. If my wife has her way we'll be out in the sticks, so I won't need to share :PBarry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219005652464990693.post-40919141286954616542009-08-20T17:27:15.711+01:002009-08-20T17:27:15.711+01:00Those little co2 cartridges are great for dispensi...Those little co2 cartridges are great for dispensing beer if you have to take it beer with you. Problem solved once you get a fridge. <br /><br />I'm brewing right now. Just mashed in. Hops are Columbus and Summit.
