    Line Balancing Confusion

    I'm a little confused about line balancing/regulator pressure. I have a kegerator with a two draft tower; IPA on one line and and an ESB on the other. I'm getting way to much foam when I pour either one. I have my regulator set at 13 psi with approx 6.5 feet of 3/16 line. Temp around 38...

    Serving Pressure

    I just started kegging and have a two tap draft tower. I have a commercial beer on one side (Victory Hop Devil) and my own Cream stout on the other. My regulator is set at 9psi. The Cream Stout pours fine, but the Hop Devil is extremely foamy and almost tastes flat after it settles down in the...

    Stiff Tap Handle

    I have a question about the taps on my kegerator. I've had the system about a month and after a couple of days of not opening up the tap, it takes quite a pull on the handle to open it up. After the initial pull it opens smoothly....Any ideas?

    Lager Bottle Conditioning/Carb Temp?

    I'm sure this has been asked before...and I searched a little looking for the answer. After I bottle my Oktoberfest Lager what temp should I let them carbonate at? The temp recommended for the yeast? Or room temp?

    Kitchen sieve/strainer

    Liquid Yeast odor

    This is my first time using Liquid yeast, so I'm a little nervous. I brewed up a batch of Boulder Beers "Hazed and Infused" using White Labs California Ale liquid yeast. I have had the yeast stored in the frig since it arrived about two weeks ago. When I opened the vial I took a whiff and it was...

    Iodophor dilution

    I know this has been asked before, but what is the correct dilution of Iophodor for botle sanitizing? My wife got me a bottling tree for my B'day and I'm ready to bottle with it. Do I need to keep my hands out of the solution?

    Corny Kegs ?

    A friend of mine just gave me about 15 corny kegs. They are all the Coca-Cola? style with the pins. Are these good to use or should I look for some Pepsi style kegs? I am bottling right now, but when I get my bar built I plan on doing a kegerator with a two tap setup.
