Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be easily feasible to do, but fun to figure out all the same :) I have a dual regulator setup connected to my CO2 tank. If I need to carb quickly, I crank the regulator up to 30 psi and shake it a bit, and drop the pressure down to serving and then check it over the...

I am using compressed CO2 in a tank and cornelius (soda) kegs. From my revisited math, it's looking unlikely that this is even possible, as I'm getting a few hundred psi, which is well above the level of safety for the kegs.

Oh, right how could I forget about using K. I dislike Fahrenheit as well, but all the US based brewer use it :( I did convert everything to Celsius when doing my calculations, but that still wouldn't have been right! I wasn't sure if I would need to get into partial pressure, but I thinking...

Hi all, I'm a home brewer and microbiologist by training, so I have taken a fair amount of physics and chemistry (wasn't sure if gas laws were more physics or chemistry related, so hopefully this is in the right section) but my memory of dealing with gases is not the clearest, so I'd like some...

So you're saying two pots with different widths will lose the exact same amount of liquid in a give time given equal energy inputs. Why is it that evaporation plays no part? And just to be clear, we're not talking about some perfect system in controlled conditions. There are many factors like...

Hi all, I came across your forum looking for some help to settle a debate. A few fellow home brewers and I are debating what factors influence the rate of loss during a boil. The original question came from a brewer who switched to a wider pot and discovered that he lost more liquid over the...
