thanks for the reply. I wound up having a friend that roasts his own coffee beans to roast me an espresso blend, using a 2 to 1 ration of decaffeinated beans so as not to mix too much of a stimulant with a depressant. I brewed ten ounces of espresso and dissolved 4.5 ounces of lactose into the...

I've kegged my first batch of beer, and as a nearly completely ignorant novice have developed a slight problem. I have what appears to be about a teaspoon of beer backed up in my gas line, and have a few questions. First off, what causes this? Secondly, how can I prevent it? Thirdly, what is...
