    CO2 regulator leak or Keg Leak?

    Process of elimination. Pressurize the keg. Disconnect the gas and beer lines. If keg holds pressure it's not the keg. If it doesn't it's probably just the keg but I would check the rest of the system just in case. At the same time you're testing the keg you can test the entire system. With...

    Brew Boss Systems

    Homemade PBW Recipe

    Usually if you have granules left either you didn't mix it enough or there wasn't enough water.

    Brew Boss Systems

    Yes I had the same thing Thursday when I brewed. I also noticed when I went to recall a recipe and tapped on it, it wouldn't display in the top line I just hit ok and it opened. There wasn't an option for manual or automatic. When in automatic mode is there a way to back up a step or add a step...

    Show me your tap handles!

    It's surprising what you can turn into a tap handle.
