A friend of mine just purchased a floor model kegerator from Costo. I went to his place last night to help him set everything up. It took over 4 hours and it's still not functioning properly. We forced carbed his brew around 30 PSI, tank was full, could hear bubbles / movement in the brew...

Hi, I brewed my first batch of Vienna Lager yesterday. I've been reading online this morning about various techniques, wondering which way I should go with it. I did not use a yeast starter. I brewed it, cooled it down, pitched yeast, and put in my refrigerator. The temp is about 43 degrees in...

I'm getting ready to make Brewers best Vienna Lager. There are two bags of crushed grains...do I put them in the same grain bag and steep at the same time?? Focker Out

I made a batch of Hefeweizen a few weeks ago. I've drank off it twice and have gotten absolutely **** face wasted both times on 4-5 beers. My wife and two friends also drank off it last night and all don't remember going to bed. I've made 15+ batches and have never had this happen...

I've got 5 gallons of Hefeweizen sitting in a corny keg in my fridge, just transferred from primary tonight after cold crashing for 2 days. What's the best way to carbonate this? I have only force carbed before, last batch I did was really foamy. I'd love to have less foam on this one. Focker Out

Hi, I have a batch of Hefeweizen that's been in its primary for 15 days. I want to cold crash it before kegging to clear it up. Should I transfer to secondary and then cold crash, or just put the primary into my refrigerator as is? Focker Out

Does anyone know why the foam from my homebrew off my kegerator is sticking to the sides of all my pint glasses?? Focker Out

I've got an extract batch of hefeweizen on day 5 of primary fermentation. I saw it bubbling on day two, haven't noticed much since then. I did just notice that my airlock wasn't in the bucket real snug, it pulled out pretty easily. Here's what the beer looks like on day 5. Any direction on this...

What temp and how long should I cold crash a California Common extract batch? It's been in primary fermentation for 10 days @ about 62degrees , has reached an FG of 1.042. I also want to try adding gelatin to clear it up, I've never done that before. When should I add that to the batch? Sent...

Hi y'all, I brewed a batch of California Common 9 days ago. OG was 1.042, just took an FG reading it was 1.014 so I'm right on track. When taking the lid off, I noticed how there was some sediment sitting on top, looked a little murky. Wondering if you guys have any tips on cleaning up the beer...

I am on my second keg of homebrew since I got a kegerator in Dec. The first keg I had was good but after 4 days my CO2 had all leaked out (I don't think I tightened down the nut enough and it leaked out after a few days). So my second keg is pretty foamy on each pour. I force carbed the keg on...

I have been only using Brewers Best boxed kits to make brew. I want to branch out today and try another recipe. Any ideas of something easy to try for my first time? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have a batch of Pale Ale that has been fermenting for 16 days. Last night, I transferred to secondary to clean things up a bit and then put the secondary into my refrigerator to cold crash. It's been in there for 24 hours at about 37 degrees. Is it pointless to transfer to secondary and then...

Hi Friends, I brewed an American Pale Ale on Jan 20. It's been in primary fermentation for 9 days now at a temp between 60-63 degrees. I'm wondering how long I should leave it in primary before transferring to secondary. The previous batch I made was a German Kolsch that was in primary...

How much DME should I use to make a 5 gallon batch of American Pale ale? I bought a Red Beaver kit from a local supply store in Nashville...there are 2 bags included in the kit. Seems like a lot? Instructions are really vague too...

I just got a kegerator a few weeks ago. I kegged 5 gallons of brew into a corny last Sat. Been drinking off it all week including last night. Just got home, went to pour a cold one and my CO2 tank was completely empty. No beer came out the tap. Pulled the pin on top of the keg to purge air...

2 questions...I've brewed 2 batches of Brewers Best Kolsch in the last month or two. The first batch: OG reading was 1.032 FG reading was 1.006 I bottled on 11/2... Opened a few tonight, not much carbonation, decent flavor, just kind of flat. Should I let it stay bottled longer?? Second...

I am making a batch of Brewers Best Summer Ale. I am about to cool the wort and transfer into my primary. Do I transfer the spice pack into my primary? Spice pack contained dried orange and lemon rinds in tiny pieces. Please let me know ASAP!!

I'm headed out to buy another Brewers best kit and am looking for suggestions of another tasty beer to brew. I have made American Amber and Kolsch so far and I'm moving on to my third batch. The first two both turned out pretty good just looking for some suggestions of the next to make

I made a batch of American Amber about 6 weeks ago. I have let the bottles sit in a dark closet for 3-4 weeks. About 30 beers were bottled in bottles that require openers (not twist offs) the other 15 were bottled in twist offs like miller lite, Yuengling, etc. I just open a few of the twist...
