I need some help/advice I am making the move to all grain and have already started my RIMS build similar to the Brutus 10. I have the frame all welded up and I also have the sanke kegs I will be using for my HLT/mash tun/brew kettle. My question is this, I was planning on using propane...

After weeks of troubleshooting I finally have determined it is my keg causing my foaming problem. I transferred kegs yesterday and to my delight my foaming problem has gone away :-) Any idea what might be the problem with the keg??

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your help.

Yes, there are bubbles in my serving lines. I don't think it's over carbonated though. It definitely tasted flat the last time I messed with it. As far as carbonating techniques, I typically put it in the fridge after fermantation and let it chill overnight. Then attach co2 and let it sit...

Glad to hear you're doing ok. I recently started using my corny kegs for fermenting. It works really well and their alot easier to move around. Plus, I now rack my beer with co2 instead of siphoning. It's really cool. I agree, you do need to get brewing :-)

I don't use picnic taps. I have a fridge/kegerator with the taps in the door. I have read several articles/charts that state I need 12 psi head pressure if I maintain 40 degrees to keep my beer carbonated to the level it's supposed to be at. Is this bogus info? I have a sneaky suspicion...

Have you guys ever been up to Mt. Hood Brewery a.k.a. Iceaxe? If you're an IPA lover Iceaxe IPA is INCREDIBLE. If you ever get the opportunity, it's a drive worth taking.

Next time you're in town try to stay longer a do a pub crawl. Nothing like being able to walk from micro to micro and drink some of the best beer in the world.

For some reason it appears the beer in my keg has lost carbonation (possibly a leaky keg) which explains my foaming problem. Will it recarbonate if I repressurize my keg with CO2 and verify I have no leaks?

I'm having a real problem with foam from 1 of my kegs. I'm running 12 psi at 40 degrees to maintain carbonation. I've installed 6' of beer line based on the calculation of head pressure + 5 divided by 3 (3/16" hose restriction). I've even tried a different tap on my kegerator. I also have 2...

Hey all, I just found this site yesterday and thought it was really cool being able to get just about any information I needed on such a cool hobby. I just had to join! Cheers!
