Re: Cask Conditioning - Can I just treat it like a big bottl

Yes you can just prime it in the cask like a bottle but it can't take as much pressure, breweries need to get it out the fermenter as fast as possible so they rack it 1-2 points above final gravity. That is simply not true, they can take a surprising amount of pressure before they pop a shive or ke...

Need a keg full for the 27th!

Festival razorback IPA would be my suggestion. I blind tasted this some time back and it was an excellent pint.

Beer line cleaner

The purple line cleaner comes out green when the lines are mucky and purple when they are clean. Purple blc is an easy indicator, there are various brands of it.

Re: Setting psi

Once the screws are far enough in the reg to start allowing co2 through the gauge should be fairly instant. Clockwise increases pressure. Silly question but your gas cylinder is on and full? Try turning the screws a bit more if you haven't already.

It looks to me like it's at the top.

Personally I would contact the seller for a replacement while I could. There is a crack on a weld which could breach the integrity of the keg.

Re: taps for casks

They may well still be owned by the brewery (or its successor). You may want to check it out, remember kegwatch monitor these sites.

Re: Kegging from the FV to 2 kegs simultaneously

Can you not just divide the volume of beer (minus a litre or two for trub) by two then fill each keg with said amount?
