So I know I screwed up, just wondering what my best option is? I have always done IPA's, stouts, ales, etc and never did a starter and had good luck. I attempted the same to make a lager in my new fermentation fridge and brewpi setup. I chilled with a wort chiller to 75°, placed it in the...

I'm ordering a taprite coupler. I noticed that they sell an extra little check valve that goes on the beer side. I didn't even know there was a check valve that went in the couplers. I have no idea if any of my others have them. Is this needed if my gas distribution manifold already has...

Just replaced my old keg lines with some stuff I bought from the local home brew store. The taste is awful on the first 4 ounces or so. It's okay after that but if it sits for a few minutes, the next beer is already tasting and smelling like plastic. I will admit that I did not soak the lines...
