"The last (5gal) IPA I made had 4 oz of dry hops (whole and pellet mix) and I left it on hops in secondary for 6 weeks. Was absolutely amazing. No real grassy flavors, just a little spice with smooth citrus and florals. I guess…"

Pressure Relief Valves for Corny Kegs

I've been buying up as many "cheap" corny kegs as I can when I travel. The goal is to clean, sanitize, new o-rings, and pressurize to check seal, then sell most of them to suppport my brewing…Continue

Haven't forgotten about sharing hops. Some the rhizomes are an inch or more thick. I will try to get hops done…"
Thomas Ocken replied to Thomas Ocken's discussion Hop Rhizomes, PLEASE!"Hi Curt, I was wondering if you would be able to share some of your cascade and willamette hops this weekend. I could come over and help dig, bring buckets, and bring some homebrew IPA and Hef.
Give my cell a call at 515-490-3991 or send me an…"

Curt D. Hicks replied to Thomas Ocken's discussion Hop Rhizomes, PLEASE!"I have Cascade, Willamette hops that are about 5 years old. I need to dig out around the rhizomes. Then fertilize the soil and add some sand. The hop cones are good sized. But when dried smell somewhat like hay. When I dig around…"

Thomas Ocken replied to Thomas Ocken's discussion Pressure Relief Valves for Corny Kegs"Yeah, Jake. Maybe I'll just not worry about it if I can't find anything reasonably priced. I'm not looking forward to buying 7 of them at ~$15 each."

Thomas Ocken replied to Thomas Ocken's discussion Pressure Relief Valves for Corny Kegs"Jake, do you have an example of a gas valve like you're thinking of? Could you find one and post a link, or suggest where to find one? THANKS GUYS!
Cheers!"
Thomas Ocken replied to Thomas Ocken's discussion Pressure Relief Valves for Corny Kegs"That looks about like what I was finding price-wise. I was hoping somebody either had a really good connection or someone found a different style valve that could be repurposed for kegs."
Lyle Erickson replied to Thomas Ocken's discussion Pressure Relief Valves for Corny Kegs"If you take a look at this link: dresselbrew.com/Keg_Info.htm, you'll see four PRV types. Types A and B can be purchased new for around $10-$15. As Jake mentioned, Beer Crazy carries at least one of these (I have bought an…"
Jake Wisgerhof replied to Thomas Ocken's discussion Pressure Relief Valves for Corny Kegs"i think they run about 15 bucks at beer crazy could just use a gas valve to vent it?"
Thomas Ocken posted a discussionPressure Relief Valves for Corny Kegs
I've been buying up as many "cheap" corny kegs as I can when I travel. The goal is to clean, sanitize, new o-rings, and pressurize to check seal, then sell most of them to suppport my brewing habit. I've got about 15 now, BUT... A few of them don't have pressure relief valves. Does anyone know a cheap (less than $5) solution for this? I could buy in bulk to help reduce cost per keg. THANKS!!!See More
