I kegged a beer last night and for a slew of reasons, I now want to get this beer into bottles. I did add dextrose before kegging to naturally carb. Is it too late? Can I just move it from the keg to bottle with no repercussions today? It's been less than 24 hours since I kegged. Any advice will...

RE: rsmith: when I pressurized it at 30 psi last night, I heard the top seal. To carbonate it, you would need continuous flow of CO2.- Should I keep the tank connected and flowing until I get carbonation? Also, before I taste-test the beer again, should I pull the O-ring to release any...

I kegged my first brew a 3 weeks ago naturally carbonating it with sugar. I tested it out last night and it was barely carbonated - saw maybe a few bubbles. I think this was due to improper sealing when I first put the beer in the keg. So, after tasting the flat beer, I resealed the keg at...

Yes, naturally carbing, not forced. I'll check the temp of my basement, but should be room temp down there. Thanks for the insights.

I just kegged my first beer yesterday - an ale. What is the best temperature to store the keg as it carbonates? I currently have it in my basement. Do I need it refrigerated right now?

Nope, nothing hairy or odd looking. Good news. Thanks again.

I spoke with the owner of the homebrew store by me and he said the thin layer/bubbling was pretty normal but I didn't go into details about...

Hey everyone, was looking for some thoughts on secondary fermentation. I have a belgian style ale that has been sitting in secondary since October. What effects can I expect for having it sit for so long instead of bottling after 2 weeks in secondary? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
