    Proposed Alfalfa Honey Rye recipe

    Lol I should update my location, I'm actually in school in Bozeman. As for the beer, it turned out pretty good but it wasn't my favorite thing I've ever made. Probably could've used a protein mash or something like that. Probably going to hold off brewing it again until next summer, and...

    Kegerator pouring mostly foam

    They were cold for the entire time- occasionally jostled but not much. I usually try to let them sit for at least a few hours sampling them (after jostling). I'm going to hook them all back up at 10psi after letting them naturally become uncarbonated for about 24 hours at 38F. I realize that...

    Kegerator pouring mostly foam

    Just checked on that and from what I ordered I can say that I do have 3/16" ID tubing. So its not my serving line diameter, correct?

    Kegerator pouring mostly foam

    I'm actually drinking one of these beers now, and it seems like after the excessive head has fallen it is actually undercarbonated... is it possible that my serving pressure should be decreased so that I'm serving at lower pressure than they've been carbonated under? Seems like maybe the...

    Kegerator pouring mostly foam

    They've been on pressure for about 10 days, so I would expect them to be completely or nearly completely carbonated. At this point what I think I'm going to do is take them off pressure, bleed them, and let them lose carbonation naturally by bleeding regularly. They will eventually drop to...

    Kegerator pouring mostly foam

    I misspoke (mistyped?)- my serving lines are 5 feet long. Same length as on my previous setup. It was serving just fine on my previous keg, which was carbonated before I switched to the three way co2 manifold. This is why I think maybe it has something to do with the pressure I'm...

    Kegerator pouring mostly foam

    I recently converted by one tap kegerator to a three tap, and have been having trouble with overcarbonating. I added a three-way co2 manifold into my setup, which is situated inside of the fridge. My co2 regulator is set at 10psi, and the internal temp of my fridge at 38F. I don't think...

    Weird poor from kegerator

    Shouldn't be any bubble showing in your beer line. If it isn't a temperature issue, and isn't related to the length of your line, I agree that Yooper might be right. What style of beer are you dispensing? Trying to get an idea of what level it might be carbonated to based upon traditional...

    CO2 Regulator setting after installing 3-way manifold

    Awesome, thanks for the answer! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding how the regulator works. For example, I wanted to make sure that if it read 10psi and was split between three kegs, each keg wasn't getting 3.33psi. :mug:

    CO2 Regulator setting after installing 3-way manifold

    I'm not out of gas- just got a new tank and my regulator showing the contents of the tank indicate I have plenty of gas. I don't think it's possible that it could have been bumped, as I have a nut on the screw to adjust the regulator pressure that holds it set in one place, although I don't...

    CO2 Regulator setting after installing 3-way manifold

    I recently upgraded my one tap kegerator to a three, and added a 3-way manifold to split my CO2 distribution to my three kegs. I didn't think to change my regulator setting after this change, and after looking at my CO2 regulator, it was displaying a pressure of about 3 psi, instead of the...

    Weird poor from kegerator

    Are you saying that your beer lines are running from your keg, to the outside of your fridge, and then back in, up to your tower? If so, that could cause the problems you're speaking of, but I'm not sure that's what you're saying. If your lines are contained entirely within the fridge, then...

    Substituting flaked rye for malted rye?

    Not doing an all rye beer. I am considering substituting flaked rye for rye malt in a recipe similar to this: 6 lb American 2-row 3.75 lb Rye Malt 3 lb Wheat Malt 1 lb Alfalfa Honey The 2-row should have enough diastatic power to convert the flaked rye, correct? With this in mind...

    Substituting flaked rye for malted rye?

    I was all excited to brew myself an American Rye Beer with some alfalfa honey (recipe here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/proposed-alfalfa-honey-rye-recipe-327758/), but unfortunately it turns out my LHBS is having trouble stalking malted rye. So... what would be an appropriate...
