I'm worried I may have my first infected beer. Is there any way to know for sure? I essentially made a batch of the Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale. Everything went fine, and after giving it enough time in the secondary carboy, I cold crashed it, then moved it into the keg today. It smelled...

Hey guys, I'm looking to do something a little different this fall. I still consider myself somewhat of a novice, though I've been brewing for 4-5 years. This Thanksgiving, while the SWMBOs are working hard on the meal, I was thinking about getting the guys together and doing a 'family...

Can anyone share a clone recipe for the Paulaner Oktoberfest? I realize I'm much too late for this year, but I'd like to brew a batch anyway to see what i think going into next year. I can't seem to find any good recipes or kits. Thanks! -Ben

OK, so I backed the pressure off to 5psi overnight. It was better, but I'm now getting foam coming out of the tap in spurts. You guys still think it's overcarbonated beer and I should keep it dialed down or might it be something else?

Hmm, thanks for the tips guys. I'm running 3/16" beer line at a length of 5 feet. Using the chart provided, I came up with a "suggested" length of 3.61 feet. (I'm happy to have someone check my math, but I think everything is correct) 12psi, 2.5' from middle of keg to faucet, and 3/16"...

I'm down to my 'last resort' here. I bought a direct draw 4 keg cooler and have plans to get all 4 taps up and running eventually with home brew. For starters, I bought a keg of domestic light beer for use at a party, and to fine tune the kegging system. The problem I'm having is that...

Where are they located?

I'm just getting into kegging, and was hoping someone in the Twin Cities area had some suggestions on where you go to fill co2 tanks and get the beer gas mix. I've already called Airgas...so that's an option, but I assume someone out there has a great suggestion. Thanks!

Hey guys, I recently came into possession of a used 4 keg Perlick Direct Draw beer dispenser. It's in good shape overall, but really wasn't taken care of. I need to do a lot of cleaning (both exterior and interior). My question is about cleaning the lines. I think I may replace most of...

Anyone out there have a good clone for Sam Adams Light? For my money, it's the best light beer out there and I'd love to take a crack at brewing some if someone has a good recipe. Much thanks in advance! :mug:
