Thanks. I am brewing a kolsch so I want it to be really clear. I used Irish moss in the boil so we will see what happens

Thanks for the response. I haven't opened it since i racked from primary. It's in a glass carboy. The other issue is am having which I also had twitch my first batch is the amount of sediment transferring into the secondary. It looks clear coming through the siphon and then I have about a half...

I am brewing my second batch. It is a AHS kolsch. I racked to secondary yesterday. When I looked at it tonight there were lots of white spots on the surface of the brew. Should I be worried?i was very sanitary with everything.

I am brewing AHS kolsch extract kit. I added 1% alcohol boost. OG was 1.058. It has been in primary for five days. Really took off after about 12 hours. I took a gravity reading today and it was 1.018(kit says final should be 1.014). It's not bubbling much any more, maybe one bubble every 20...

My next extract kit is a kolsch from austin home brew. It's my second ever batch. I was thinking about putting something in the secondary for a nice spring flavor. Anyone one have any ideas? Or should I just leave it the way it is. I have never had a flavored kolsch so I'm not sure which way I...

Thanks a lot. Now I can drink my beer with no stress tonight. First ever home brew( BB iPa) on tap and tastes great. Thanks again

By the way, I'm a rookie to home brewing and theoretical obviously kegging. Thanks in advance

This might be a really dumb question but I need some help. My co2 tank(5#) a Has been on for a week at 8 pounds. I have one home brew and one comercial on tap. I force carved the home brew at 30 psi for ten minutes. The tank is in the kegerator at 34 degrees. The gauge is reading in the red. I...

My beer is at 38 degrees. 1.9 is in range for an iPa right?

Oh hey yooper. I think I may have gotten the gas out of the beer. Going to set and forget now. Is the tasty brew calculator no good?

Does anyone know how long to leave a keg carbonating using the tasty brew calculator. I have an iPa and the calculator recommends 4.9 psi but does not say how long to leave it. Any ideas?

So why is there so much foam with what looks like millions of little bubbles rising to the surface? I appreciate all the help. This is just so frustrating. Seems like bad advice,by the HBS owner telling me to burst carb.

Like I said before, this is all new to me. So if I already over carbonated it, how is putting more co2 on it going to help. Won't it stay over carved?

I have been doing that since Wednesday but once I relieve all the pressure, every time I walk by and pull the relief valve nothing comes out, until I shook it tonight then I get co2 releasing when I shake it. I already bought ten foot lines and plan on replacing the five footers. Should I keep...

Shook at 30psi at 38ish degrees. Keg has been at that temp steady. Burst carved on Monday at 30, then set to 8 and left it for 24 hours. Took it off the gas Wednesday at noon and have only put it back on to test. Nothin but foam every pour.
