The answer to this is probably wait longer but I just want to see opinions. I have a pumpkin beer set and forget method going for 6 days now. I pour the first beer and have some nice bubbles on the bottom and sides of glass and a nice head, the second pour I have a good head but absolutely no...

I am starting to get frustrated with this fridge....anyway I have a Johnson controls digital controller and I have the probe taped to the side of the keg at 36degrees carbing. Whenever I open the fridge door, the control shows like 46ish in no time and then the compressor kicks on and runs for...

I brewed a cream ale a few months ago from NB, I bottled it about 6 weeks ago - maybe a little longer than that, and I have no carbonation. I fermented at 64 and it was in the primary a total of 4 weeks before bottling. This was my first time batch priming and used the standard 2/3 cup of corn...

I just got two used kegs and both have the Cornelius company on the outside of them. One of the kegs has both a type B post for the in and the out, however the other keg has a Type A post for the out and what appears to be a type A with a 12 point shape on the in port. It seems something is...

I'm afraid I don't understand how to work my dual body regulator I just got and I'm afraid I'm going to blow through the co2 tank before I get it figured out so I figured I would just ask. The kegconnection sheet I got said to make sure the regulator adjusting screws were turned fully counter...

Just got my keg setup from kegconnection that included their regulator. On the tank pressure gauge the cardboard is bent up and pushing against the needle. Is there an easy way to fix this? I wasn't sure if popping off the front would be a good idea....

I have brewed a couple kits from NB now and had a question about when to secondary if it all. Cream Ale - NB says 2 weeks, primary 2 weeks in bottles (I did 4 in primary, 3 bottle) Peace Coffee Stout Porter - 2 weeks primary, 2 weeks secondary, 2 weeks conditioning (it's been in primary for 3...

Just cracked open a cream ale that has been bottled for 7 days to learn the rate of carbing. I had a very small hiss but it was as flat as could be but still tasty. Is this normal after 7 days? I'm conditioning them about 64 degrees....is this alright? Primed with standard 2/3 cup in 16 oz water...

I bottled my first batch of NB cream ale today and got 43 1/2 bottles out of my 5 gallon batch. Drank the half bottle to get a good taste for it. I know I could get more out of it but when siphoning I noticed a lot of yeast in suspension in the last half gallon, I stopped the siphon because I...

Hello everyone, I am currently fermenting a peace coffee stout porter extract kit from NB. I used US-04 and have a few questions. I believe the optimum fermentation temp for this yeast is 64-72 if I remember correctly. The ambient temp is 68, or so my thermostat says. I have a cream ale...

Hello all, I'm getting ready to brew an extract and was wondering if I should split the tablet for the 3 gallons of liquid I'll be boiling. It states 1 tablet for 5-10 gallons. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I brewed my first batch tonight and it appears that I overshot my OG. This was an extract kit with specialty grains which I put them in while heating up 20 minutes or until 170 is what the directions said. I pulled the grains at 168 and went to a boil, 60 minute boil and added...

Hello everyone, I purchased some brewing equipment and an extract kit from NB a few weeks ago. I am having issues with boiling the 3 gallons of water. As this is my first brew, it is kind of frustrating to not be able to boil water :). I have a 20 qt stainless kettle and first tried to...
