So it still should be ok if I recarb it? As long as there is no oxidation?

:D*keg

The leg has a little pressure, but probably not much. The leak was from the o-ring at the top.

Hi everyone! I Brewer a beer this winter( February) and kegged it a few weeks later. After a few weeks with the beer in the leg I noticed the CO2 tank was empty and the beer seemed pretty flat. I suspected a leak in my leg seal. Anyways, I unhooked the tap line from my leg and the beer has just...

No luck with the 5 cu ft Holiday Freezer. I tried switching out the short screw with a longer one that would allow me to screw it in farther, but that didn't seem to work. When I screwed it in to a certain point there would be a click and the chiller would shut off and not come back on, even...

Well, at least I know it's possible! So you turned the screw all the way in clockwise? and had the setting at 1? Hmmm, is there anything else you did? What temperature is your fridge at with these settings? I'll try turning it out CCW. If you can remember any other little things you...

Has anyone had luck with a 5 cu ft Holiday Chest freezer? I found the screw and everything and screwed it in all the way with the temperature setting to 1 and the temperature seems to stay at 20F. I'm close to giving up and buying a temperature control, but want to make sure it doesn't...

awesome! Thanks a lot for the recipe! Now I just have to find some Alderwood and a smoker? I'll be sure to let you know how it is. Thanks again, Oldschool

Hey "Oldschool", it would be great if you could post that Alaskan Smoked Porter Extract clone if it is is BYO. I've found a lot of All-grain clones for it, but no extract ones. It would be much appreciated. Also, I think a key ingredient in the Alaskan Smoked Porter is Alderwood-smoked...

Hey, I'm pretty new to brewing and am looking to make a beer similar to Alaskan Smoked Porter, but cannot find an extract version of the recipe. I've found several all-grain and partial mash clones, but am not sure how to convert those recipes into an extract brew or if that is even possible...
