Subject: Part Identification - Carbonation stone?
|
Hello All,
I've been getting a 3 gallon corny ready to use. When I opened it up to
clean the inside I found a rubber tube connected to the In side of the keg.
The tube extended down to the bottom of the keg along with the normal
stainless steel tube connected to the out side. Connected to the bottom of
the rubber tubing was a stainless steel cylinder. The only think I can
think this might be is a stainless steel carbonation stone. But I cannot
see any holes in it. I'd take a picture but cannot find where my wife put
the camera. Is there anything that this could be other than that? And if
so should I see some holes in it?
If it is a carbonation stone how does one go about using that with the
temp/carb/volume tables?
Thanks,
Eric

I thought about adding tubing to the CO2 side of my Corney so that when
CO2 goes into the keg it is injected at the bottom. Anyone ever done
that with decent results? Do you need to put a one way valve in?
Thanks,
Jim

My buddies and I always force carbonate through the "out" side of the keg.
We don't use a stone. We just use a black beer connecter on the gas line.
Works fine.

You can do that, but it doesn't really make any significant difference.

Yep. Thanks for the links. The bottom part of that lid definitely looks
like what I've got, thought it was a normal lid and the tube with the
"stone" was attached to the in side of the gas valve. I assume that would
accomplish the same thing.
The other link looks like good reading for tomorrow. I really do appreciate
the answer. Thanks!!

I just googled carbonation stone and found plenty of info.

Yeah, just another way of doing the same thing.

I wouldn't want to do it - I've made the mistake of hooking things up
backwards more than once (gas in on the bev out side) and ended up
getting beer into my lines while force carbonating it. Not sure if a
one-way would be quick enough to prevent at least a little of that. I
hate having to remove the gas-in lines and clean them out when that
happens. I have one line that doesn't have a one-way (yet), could be
that's the one that I keep screwing up the gas-in line on.

Sounds like a carbonation stone to me too.

Works the same. The only difference is a slight decrease in the amount
of time carbonation takes. Personally I never really saw the point, but
it won't hurt anything.
