1/22/2009 -- I just got a kegging system and want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. I fermented the batch, secondary fermented it for a total of about two weeks. Next step is to keg it, put co2 to it and drink it correct?

4/30/2008 -- When you are disconnecting the C02 tank from the corny keg and you want to attach the chrager is there any thing special you need to attach/do or does it just fit on there?

1/26/2008 -- I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

9/13/2007 -- Would the keg charger be adequate for force carbonation? How much pressure (approximately) does it give to a full keg? Also, on a side note, Where does the 10% for orders over $250 come out? it didn't appear when I went to the check-out screen... Let me know! You folks are great to work with!

7/25/2006 -- Id like to put the beer into a keg instead of bottles, but was wondering if i could do this WITHOUT force carbonating with a CO2 tank. Can the beer naturally carbonate in the keg? what would i have to add for this, more yeast or sugar? Would this effect the "shelf life" of the keg? thanks for the help! AWESOME WEBSITE!!!

3/9/2006 -- after reading more and more q&a's im almost ready to pull the trigger on an order..my question might sound silly but to the experienced brewer i just dunno...i will be kegging in corny kegs and most likely using the stone to carbonate via c02 since it will do it the fastest; but after its carbonated can i just a hand pump to pushed the sweet nectar out, or do i have to leave it on c02?...i'd like . . .

4/9/2005 -- Will a cornelius keg fit into any half height refrigerator? Or better yet, if I were looking for a new refrigerator but didn't want to buy a full size or a expensive kegerator, what are my options?

3/10/2005 -- Does this keg charger come with a gas in fitting?If not, what kind would I need for a three gal keg?

3/9/2005 -- I own a three gallon keg and have been using a hand pump. I like carbonating with sugar but I want to use co2 to dispense it so I can keep it in the keg longer, will this keg charger do the trick? What kind of little co2 can would I want to use and how many would I go through? Will this give me enough pressure(no flat beer)? Can you tell me a little bit more about how it works?

10/31/2004 -- I just bought the St. Peter's Pilsner kit and I'm planning to use a keg system to carbonate the beer. Should I prime before kegging to help conditioning or not?

10/9/2004 -- What is the best method to fill bottles from a keg system? How do you reduce the foam and ensure that the beer does not go flat??

10/9/2004 -- I LOVE reading all the questions and answers! Now I have one. I am going to be purchasing a kegging system as a gift. Here is what I know I want (I think): I want to have a keg inside of a converted fridge (don't have the fridge yet) and need to know what I would need to set this up, from the keg (corney?) to the fitted tap out the door... and what size of fridge do you recommend? Or if it is . . .

9/26/2004 -- On your keg systems, are the kegs reconditoned? Have all the o-rings been replaced or do I have to do that. I like your site. You are the only one I have seen that has the multiple systems for sale. A friend of mine has been kegging for a few yrs now. He has a double regulater on his so he can run different pressures on the tanks. Is this necessary? I have been bar tending for many yrs and have . . .

9/26/2004 -- How are your double keg systems setup? I didnt see a picture of it on your site, and didnt see any details just the price changed. Could you please send some more info on this?

9/23/2004 -- I own a standard 15.5 CO2 keg system and would like to use the CO2 tank and regulator with a cornelius tank. Would my the hoses be consistent with the fittings on cornelius keg with Quick Disconnect fittings?

9/22/2004 -- How do you make a brew in a canister? have you got a step to step instruction manual. Iam talking about the homebrew keg refridgerator. i have only brewed with the kits where you bottle it.

8/31/2004 -- I have a kegerator that has a CO2 tank to carbonate the beer. I plan to use 5 gallon soda kegs for the final fermetation and serving of the beer. Do I need to add the sugar at the end, or will the CO2 carbonate the beer for me?

4/17/2004 -- Hi. I want to start kegging my beer, but I dont have any refrigerator to convert, whats your recommendation, to get a regular refrigerator or to get a kegerator that is ready for kegs? are there any kegerators out there that you would recommend? thanks

4/4/2004 -- I am going to use a Cornelius Keg Portable Co2 Charger, so that I can take a keg to party - and the question is - do I need to shorten my dispensing line -aligator tap?

3/18/2004 -- I was wanting to know if you could give me any advice on choosing between a ball lock and a pin lock keg. I have read that on ball lock kegs it is easey to mix up the gas and beer fittings and that they can be easily put on the wrong side and that you may never get them back off. Is this true or are they marked somehow. Also if I decide to go with a pin lock 5 gallon keg do you ocasionaly carry . . .

2/25/2004 -- hi! just wondering if alcohol production, conditioning, or fullness of a beer would suffer as a result of kegging opposed to bottling. Just want to brew each beer to full potential!! THANX

2/24/2004 -- Once a Corny keg is carbonated can it be taken off and stored without being conected to the CO2? Is there a time limit, is temp a factor?

2/18/2004 -- I am interested in getting the the complete Draft Kegging System for my husband's birthday. However, we do not need the keg but I would like to get whatever else necessary to complete the "Kegerator" setup he has been wanting. What do I need?

2/17/2004 -- What is the least equipment investment I can get away with if I want to use co2 to carbonate my soda? Can I just get a cornelius keg & portable keg charger? Do I also need a regulator? Any other equipment that I couldn't do without to get started?

2/15/2004 -- Once the kegs are filled, do they need to be kept cold? If not, what is the "shelf life" of a keg of beer if kept at room temperature? Can room temp. beer be run thru a copper coil bathed in ice, in a cooler for example, to make a portable system that does not require you to keep multiple kegs cold?

2/5/2004 -- I'm brewing my first batch of homebrew and have the Shamrock Stout in my primary fermentor. I have a keg fridge with a CO2 bottle that I'm going to use instead of bottles. Do I need to prime at all for carbonation, and if not will it affect the taste of the beer?

1/25/2004 -- I'm thinking about kegging my cider for parties. If I get a portable charger can I rely completely on that to keep the pressure up for a party? or do I need to get a full system and only use the portable charger for a supplement. Also, can I prime the cider (IE. corn sugar) and naturally carbonate the keg and then use the portable charger for topping off the pressure?

1/24/2004 -- I am thinking about starting to homebrew. I have a kegerator that will fit two cornelius kegs. I am wanting to get a kit, and then keg the beer instead of bottling. Is there a kit specifically for this? as I would not require any bottling equipment?

1/9/2004 -- What is the shipping cost for kegs to zip 68883?

1/4/2004 -- How often do you have to replace the O-Ring Set on a Cornelius Keg? Is it after each use or do you get several batches out of them?

1/1/2004 -- What is a "Cornelius keg"? Does it have a ball tap like I am used to, and will fit my present system? Does it have an opening for internal cleaning and how big. I realize that these questions are basic, so thank you for your patience.

12/15/2003 -- I'm interested in the portable keg charger and the description says it uses inexpensive 12 gram CO2 cartridges, but I could only find 8 & 16 gram cartridges on the site. Do you carry 12 gram cartridges and how inexpensive are they?

11/30/2003 -- I have a 4 keg system that I purchased from you. (System works great! thank you) How do you plumb the counter pressure bottle filler into that system and what additional fittings, tubing or equipment is needed? Also is it possible to retro-fit to fill bottles other than 12 oz type ie wide mouth growlers, could the upper stopper be removed and replaced with a large one?

11/16/2003 -- Right now I bottle my beer after primary then seconday fermantation. I understand with a keg I do not have to add bottling sugar to carbonate but in some of the other responses you say that kegs can be carbonated overnight. My question is what about the clearing that takes place in the bottles? When does this happen when you keg? If the sediment forms at the bottem wouldn't a carbontating stone disturb . . .

10/27/2003 -- I have a root beer recipe that does not allow me to use yeast to carbonate. So I need to use another system. Do you have anything that is cheap that will put soda level carbonation into water? Will the keg charger and a keg do the trick?

10/1/2003 -- Do you need just one CO2 tank and one regulater for multiple kegs? How does that work? If you order the "triple" complete draft kegging system are all the necessary parts included to carbonate the 3 kegs at the same time?

8/23/2003 -- Does the kegging system come with everything you need to start up or is additional equipment required? IE gas in fittings, extra tubing etc.

8/10/2003 -- When using this device how does one check the pressure in the keg or know how much CO2 to put in? Is there some kind of gage that should be used in addition to using this? Also, where can you get these "inexpensive" c02 cartridges?

7/19/2003 -- I have a keggerator that takes the 15.5 gal sanke style kegs. I am interested in retrofitting for using the cornelius kegs since a friend introduced me to beermaking. What will I need to do this. The keggerator has a single tap tower on top, and I have the CO2 tank and regulator already. Also some tips on using the corney kegs would be helpful. Use primer or not? Any info will be appreciated...

6/27/2003 -- Do you have to carbonate your beer (with sugar)before you keg it or can I just add my beer and this stone to my keg and it's done?
