    Carbonic acid after force carbonation

    No worries. I’m fairly new to kegging. Fermentation is usually a week or two after it’s hit stable gravity so that varies. I cold crash sometimes depends on the style. Yeast etc is also varied. I don’t make the same styles over and over. I just kegged an IPA (torpedo clone) about 5 days ago and...

    Keg seal leaking

    Not sure I agree with you on this. If it mixes that easy how does beer not oxidise if left in a fermenter for 5,6 weeks or longer. After primary fermentation yeast aren’t producing much C02 any longer. Not saying your wrong, just curious.

    Carbonic acid after force carbonation

    Maybe this should be in the beginner forum, however every time I keg and I sample after 4-5 days I get that carbonic acid bite. Usually after about 2 weeks it’s gone. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? I usually put it under 20psi for 24 hours or so and then turn it down to serving...

    Looking for guidance & opinions on what to buy for my setup.

    I agree with Bailey mb. Start with an extract kit. Run a couple batches to get your feet wet before making any substantial purchases. I went from extract to BIAB to the Anvil Foundry which is still single vessel. The foundry is pretty affordable. I’ve had mine for about 4 years now.

    Keg seal leaking

    Forgot to add. C02 is heavier than air so even without pressure it will stay in your vessel. At least enough to keep out oxygen.

    Keg seal leaking

    Even naturally carbing you’ll have a nice blanket of C02 protecting the beer. Should be all good. Get a new seal. Throw it on gas and serve. 🍻

    AI Recipe

    It didn’t use all of the ingredients. It actually split it into 2 recipes one is a Amber and was pretty straightforward. The one I posted it said was a porter but it was just outside the range on Beer Smith.

    AI Recipe

    I had a bunch of left over malts from different batches that I wanted to use up. So i used and AI program to make a recipe based on the available ingredients. Ill put the recipe below. It doesn't fit into any BJCP category though, other then Experimental, so where do you think it fits best...

    A Brewing Water Chemistry Primer

    Ahh, that makes sense.

    A Brewing Water Chemistry Primer

    This has possibly been addressed in a different thread but I couldn’t find it. Is there any water software/calculators that just give you grams per liter? I’m sure I’m missing something but even the “simple” water calculators involve manipulating ppm numbers to match a profile. Is there...

    Weak flavor in my beers

    Might be a possibility. I don't do closed transfers when I keg.

    Weak flavor in my beers

    No change with how the grain is milled. I do it myself always same settings. How recent is recent? Probably 6-8 months ago I had Covid.

    Weak flavor in my beers

    Weirdly I am hitting my OG, or near enough. As for the salts Ive been using the basic chart that came with my Foundry. Do you have a general amount in grams that you use?

    Weak flavor in my beers

    I've been brewing for a while now. Almost 10 years now,sheesh. Time flies. Half of that was in S Florida where apparently the tap water is great for brewing. I always made decent beer. Moved to Wisconsin and my tap water sucks, took me a while to figure that out 🙃. So now I build my brewing...
