Quick background to explain how I got here, or skip ahead: I brewed a 7.5 gallon IPA which I split into a 5g and a 2.5g. With 3 5g kegs in my kegerator... I set the 2.5g keg aside and forgot about it with 20+ pounds of pressure for a couple weeks. Pure foam coming out... my question, is if...

Yes, I know this is in the wrong section, but I don't see how to move it or delete it. 13# Pale Malt 2-Row 3# Munich Malt 1# Aromatic Malt 1# Cara-Pils 1# Corn Sugar Hops (pellets) 2oz Falconer's Flight 75min 1oz Fuggle 60min 1oz Centennial 20min 1oz Fuggle 15min 1oz Vanguard 10min 1oz Crystal...

I kegged a couple weeks ago, (corny keg). It seems I lost some carbonation or didn't carbonate it enough at kegging. What is my best chance of getting this beer better carbonated before the party next weekend?

This is my second time kegging and my first attempt resulted in my Co2 leaking out completely, so I'm a bit concerned. I brought my corny keg to MoreBeer and they tested it and replaced the o-ring. I kegged yesterday, and I'm told that the Co2 level gauge will go down about 200-300 under...

The first time I kegged, all my CO2 leaked out in a little over a week. So I got a new bottle of CO2 for this time around and before I keg this one, I hooked up the corny keg full of sanitzed water to see if I can find a leak. Got it hooked up, opened up the CO2 and sprayed some soapy water...

I kegged for my first time yesterday and followed the directions from the beer supplier. I had a full CO2 tank, just below the end of the green on the dial. I carbonated, released, repressurized at 8 PSI, sit overnight, now my gas shows at the bottom of the green area, (I'm able to look at it...

I brewed a light summer beer that has an estimated OG 1.045 and FG 1.010 and my actual readings were OG 1.040, FG 1.012, which is quite a difference to someone who recongnizes this easily. It's my 4th brew, so I didn't catch it till after I kegged and carbonated. I wrote down the FG as I was...

I bottled some IPA a few weeks ago and after 2 weeks I cracked one open and it was awesome. I gathered a six pack and brought them to a friends house and he loved them. I got home and brought a couple to my neighbor and he liked them and his friend liked them. A few days later I opened one...

Alright, I just bought a used upright freezer for fermenting (temp control in the mail), and hopefully as a kergerator when I feel like spending the $$... BUT, when I checked out the freezer, it was nice and cold inside, needs some cleaning on the outside, got it for $50. Figured I'd take...

I wanted to get a temp control and a small fridge for controlling my ferment temps and I found a good deal on a GE 4.3 cu Spacemaker, but I'm not sure if it will be big enough. I know someone on here used this model for a kegerator, but I'm not sure if a carboy will fit with the door shelves...

With temperatures getting into the 90's, how should I store the beer I bottled yesterday? It's getting into the 80's inside the house, and we don't have basements here. I don't want to crank the A/C for 2 weeks, so my other option is my garage fridge, but how cold is too cold? I think the...

I understand the (70min), (10min) etc... but I want to be certain on the first three ingredients, on the exact procedure. (I realize this is a 10gal recipe) Can someone break it down for me? I always see recipes in this format and I have only done a few with step by step checklists...

First off, I'm Mike from southern California. I Decided I wanted to try brewing beer after seeing an hour long show about it on TV. I asked around and got a good deal on a kit and then off to the beer store. For our first brew, we picked an American Ale kit and a book. The brew took a...
