Obviously hopspunge hasn't read the entire thread.

I own a vineyard and sell about 4 tons of wine grapes a year. I used to make wine and actually developed the port recipe used by many wineries using the frontenac grape. I used to make wine, now I just make beer. Here is what I have discovered: It doesn't matter. Drink what you like. I have had...

Just an update. The beer has now been in the cornelius keg for about a month. I opened the keg and checked it. The beer was nice and clear and nothing growing on the top. I guess siphoning all but the top 2 inches actually did the trick. Will be tasting it in another couple weeks. Thanks for...

Yep, never had this before. I transferred it to a keg and it smells and tastes fine. A little flat, ha ha. Soaking the carboy in IO Star Sanitizer right now - Including hose etc. I will probably rinse with bleach after this. I guess it will be a few weeks before I test it again. Good thing I...

Ok, after taking a taste I will keg it from under the floating crazies and let my buddies try it first. The worse that will happen is I will need to dump it out of the keg. It is Old Castle, a New Castle clone. Thanks for your help everyone. I will update with the results.

Ok, refrigerating it for a day and a half worked. Thanks!

1) Store bought beer sometimes makes me burp. Only if I drink a lot, though. 2) I think the key may be the temperature. I will try cooling it for 24 hours and post if it works. Thanks!

I have searched the forum and web and can't find out how to fix this. Maybe using the wrong terms? Don't know, hope someone can help. This is probably a stupid question, but ... My oatmeal stout has been in the cornelius keg for 2 weeks at 65-70 degrees. I tapped a glass and it tasted great...
