I'm ready to tap a commercial keg for new years(:eek: I know let the flaming commence), and I'm wondering if I need an o-ring between the beer line and the Sankey-D coupler? I've only ever used the corny kegs so this is new territory for me... Pictures attached. I'm sure this is a simple...

The concentrate was to back sweeten, following a modification of Edwort's Apfelwein that I did twice before (and turned out lovely). It is carbonated already, and I drank 2 gallons of nicely aged pilsner before my screw up. So looks like I'll purge the keg until its flat and try and turn it...

I got my corny's confused and added three cans of apple juice concentrate to my bohemian pilsner instead of my hard apple cider. [Insert comments about how lazy/stupid can I be not to even smell the open corny to make sure I had the right one.] There's still a good 2.5-3 gallons left...

Would love to hear how this turned out in a few weeks after you've had a sample. Brewing a batch this coming weekend (6 days from now), and am using a recipe that is almost identical to yours. Going to make use of fresh pumpkin however, since I already bought them, and I wan't to roast some...

Apologies for stirring a dead thread, but thought I might be able to chime in with my own experience - I just recently polished off the last bottle from the first batch I ever brewed, a Blood Orange Hefe made 2 years ago, and it was still delicious. Granted there hasn't been any improvement in...

Thanks for all the replies, turns out I was out of gas! ... only kidding. The disconnects were switched so my quick connect wasn't making a full impression, even though it appeared to be. All better, sorry for the delay in responding. Was so relieved when I got it working I forgot to come...

Alright thanks a lot, you all have assuaged my fears :)

Hello fellow brewers - hoping to get a little help with identifying a white residue at the top of my carboy as either an infectious agent or simply something benign. The beer is a hefe, left in the primary for 3 weeks (not intentionally, forgot about it whoops!), and then transfered to the...

Hoping someone can help me localize where I'm having an issue with dispensing... My middle faucet wont put out any beer, but my other faucets are working fine, so I know the gas is flowing. On the corny that corresponds to the faucet, if I remove the quick disconnect and push down on the...

You're correct, it is supposed to be somewhat cloudy, but its current state is definitely noticeably more cloudy that it was prior to this issue. Since it's contained in a commercial keg I'm unsure of how it could have been exposed to infection or air, but that description of nasty off-aromas...

Wasn't really sure where to post this question, since it doesn't pertain to a "home brew", but is just a general question about beer in general. After I purchased my keezer, while I was waiting for two homebrews to finish fermenting I purchased a 1/6 keg of ShockTop *dodges thrown bottles*...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, very helpful

I want to punch out a hole in the back of my kegerator so I can keep the C02 tank outside and just run the gas line in. There's already a spot pre-designated for this, filled with a material different from the plastic/metal/insulation/whatever-else-the-fridge-is-made-with. My question is...

Can anyone give a range of how much corn sugar I can expect to use when raising the OG in the first step, assuming I'm following the original recipe exactly? I have all the ingredients, but only 0.5 lbs of corn sugar (force carbed a batch instead of using the sugar so it's left over), and I...

Thank you! Trial and error would be a lot more error if it weren't for this forum's members haha.
