    Demand valve for beer engine

    You’re definitely right. The pressure regulator cannot adjust to such low pressures with any accuracy. What I do is naturally carb the beer then try to backfill with co2 to keep the beer a bit longer than if I let it vent. I always disconnect the gas line when I’m not serving. It’s not a perfect...

    Demand valve for beer engine

    Thanks for your reply. I too can see foaming in the line between the valve and the engine. You're certainly right on getting the right carbonation level. It's not a massive problem to be fair, it just means I have to wait a bit for the head to settle before I top up.

    keg back filled with co2. It also helps to counter balance the hand pull operation. I’m having a slight issue with half foaming. For reference the pressure I set is around 1-2 psi so it’s not over carbed. I think it might be the demand valve as I can definitely hear air being drawn in during...

    Have THBC stopping delivering to UK?

    Oh, and my two-penneth is that these guys bend over backwards to help out us homebrewers. I think they are good guys, most certainly. I will continue to use them, but I'll wait for this nonsense to settle out.

    Have THBC stopping delivering to UK?

    For what it's worth, I placed my order on 28th December. THBC sent confirmation that it was shipped on the 5th January. According to the DPD tracking, it say in 'clearing the customs process' for over 2 weeks (still say's it actually), but then yesterday I get a text out of the blue saying it...

    Help please.... coughing and foaming corny keg

    It's a good idea, but so far I've only had the kegs full with beer (it's sad times when I've an empty keg!). I've toyed with the idea but I'm paranoid about infection or oxidation. Anyway, I've ordered a new dip the from BrewUK as I'm in need of grain and some hops for future brews, plus I've...

    Help please.... coughing and foaming corny keg

    I think that is the issue as looking at the top of the dip tube you can see a small 'v' cutout. Probably drawing in either CO2 or air. Mmmmm

    Help please.... coughing and foaming corny keg

    CO2 via a regulator. What's most puzzling is that the other two kegs work fine off the gas and beer lines

    Help please.... coughing and foaming corny keg

    Good afternoon everyone, I hope someone could please give me a bit of help? A few months ago I bought a second hand refurbished corny keg and I've had a few problems with it just dispensing foam. What happens is that you pull the tap, there's a brief pause before the tap 'coughs' up some foam...
