I forgot to tell you why I did this video this way. Most of the videos I've seen are how to use it but you really never get a good look at the components or how they have them connected. Plus as I made sure to mention is keeping the gas at an equal or higher elevation which no one ever mentioned that before that I heard in the ones I watched which I learned that one very quickly when testing.

Great video, thanks much. I cannot locate the two stainless fittings that screw onto the quick connects with a 3/8 hose barb? I have 1/4, found some in 5/16 but nothing in 3/8. Can you provide a link for them?

Just to make sure we both on the same page, do you mean something like this? www.homebrewing.org/38-Barbed-Stainless-Steel-Male-Quick-Disconnect_p_1667.html Or more like a Disconnect swivel nut like this - amzn.to/3zmzoza - Let me know and I can help you track down the part(s) your looking for and hopefully at a good price as picture of the swivel nut is a bit expensive in my opinion.

Good evening. Does the length of the hoses matter or can they be short as in the video? Thanks.
@BitterRealityBrewing
3 жыл бұрын
The one air hose doesn't really matter but the liquid side I would recommend the shorter the better as there is no reason to waste extra hose or beer/brew in long hoses. Personally that would be a great test to see if there would be an noticeable difference with longer hose or if it would simply take a little longer as we all know in a keezer the longer hose helps create drag to some degree.

Honestly that would be a great video. I didn't know but according to American Homebrewer's association it is 90 grams per 5 gallon but with hoses the total is closer to 150 grams for 5 gallons of average carbonated beer.

I have all of this stuff expect for the pump itself. My question is, do you still use yours, and if so do you notice any aroma loss/oxidation issues in IPAs? Wondering if I should try this or just stick to burst carbonating overnight. Thanks Mike!
@BitterRealityBrewing
Жыл бұрын
Sadly, I haven't done enough experimenting with it to say if it has a major impact on aroma although I highly doubt it would hurt the aromas as it is a closed system. I rarely use this solution as I am almost never in this much of a hurry and hate having to clean extra stuff. I use the 30 psi for 2 days and then ease it down, but I have noticed that solution isn't as good at keeping the carbonation in solution as long once it is poured. After the default of 2 weeks at pressure is still the best at keeping carbonation in solution once poured into a glass from what I've seen and tested.

Quick question: I know I have a problem with over kill from time to time... I own a riptide transfer pump that has a flow controller, would the riptide be able to be used in place of purchasing a small transfer pump? Jus trying to minimize cost.

Sorry for the late response as I did a ton of research and although it does appear it would work it would have to be restricted considerably. I would highly recommend reaching out to Brian as Short Circuited Brewers - kzitem.info - As he has a lot of experience from my understand with the Riptide pumps and could probably answer the question better and if it will work he would have suggestions on how to utilize it properly.

How much faster is this than just putting a carb-stone into the keg on a hose?
@BitterRealityBrewing
3 жыл бұрын
Been there and done that but do not recommend using the carb-stone inside the keg as the instructions I've seen for using them recommend purging the keg and then re-applying CO2 in 1-2 psi increments which essentially each time you do the purge you are kind of fighting an up hill battle plus you are doing a CO wash which reduces a lot of the aroma if it is a hoppy beer. If you are simply recirculating the beer while forcing CO2 into the beer it should only take 30 to 60 minutes based on how high the protein levels are as they really help dissolve the CO2 into solution. So a nice heavy Stout would take a LOT less time compared to a really light thinner beer like a light lager. *Like the user name...very funny. When I play games against other people I like to use the call name DiaperRash as I'm on your backside like a bad rash.

I want to carbonate plain water. Make seltzer. Do you have any thoughts or considerations for me? I assume I need higher psi (gas AND pump) but am not sure what to get. I’m basically wanting a 5-gallon (keg) soda stream. By the way, thanks for such a detailed walk-through.
@BitterRealityBrewing
2 жыл бұрын
Sadly I haven't done soda water yet, but I am planning to do a Hop Water (same thing but with added hops and some tea) soon. From everything I've researched, you will want it under 30 PSI until fully carbonated, and then you can lower it to 10 to 12 PSI. A few people suggested increasing serving hose length to reduce foaming. The problem with water is that there isn't anything in suspension like there is in beer or cider to help hold the CO2 in suspension. If you do this before me, let me know what you did and what worked, and if something didn't. I'll be doing this in the near future but will most likely only do a 1 gallon keg the first time around to ensure I have it down before going to a 5 gallon version.

@@BitterRealityBrewing I did it with a corny keg and a special lid with a carb stone. Works fine. I left it at about 30 for a day and it's mildly carbed. Going to try the venturi system you use here next, with a tee that has a stone in it and circulate the water from the keg through for a bit. Thanks for the response.

That is a great question! I might have to try it as I'm wondering how well it would hold up to being under pressure and I'm a bit concerned about the 3 GPM as most pumps I've seen used for the quick carbonating systems are at or just over 1 GPM.
