Hey pkrath84: Thanks - that's sort of like what happened to me....I let it sit, the solution obviously cooled over the several days and there is now this film. Did that vinegar work? What did you do? Did you just pour some white vinegar into the carboy with some water and let it sit for a...

Thanks everyone! Pratzie - not sure what you mean by 'pitted', but yea, the glass just is all fogged up where that solution was. I'll try your vinegar solution and I'll also try the star san solution above too. I'm lesson concerned if I have to replace equipment b/c of my stupidity, and...

Oh man. Another dumb question from a beginner (I'm trying to move on from being a beginner). I need some advice / help. Basically, is OxyClean Versatile safe to soak and clean carboys and stainless steel brew kettles? I found some OxyClean Versatile in my home. Last week I soaked a 5...

Yea, like that.... It sucks too because I think I stripped it so now the CO2 line dosn't screw in all of the way. The guys at the beer supply store made it sound easy as 1 2 3. Suggestions? I really really appreciate it!!! Thx! Andy

Hi I'm really (REALLY!) struggling. I have the WYE (Y) splitter to attach to my regulator so I can carbonate to cornys with the 1 CO2 tank. *I CANNOT figure out how to install the WHY splitter. Where does it go? There is the fitting where the gas hose attaches too which is where I...

Hey everyone! Thanks for your help! I finally got some beer flowing, although I'm not 100% sure what the problem was. I simply took the tap off, ran some water through it to make sure there was no clog, put it back on tight and then the beer flowed well. Thanks so much for all of the...

Hi everyone! I need your expertise. I'm a very first time kegger. I just tapped my keg today. I'm getting a trickle out of the picnic tap from my kegged beer. I had it voer 3+ days on the C02. I tighted around the 'out' disconnects and I cranked up the PSI to 30+. I'm getting flat...

Hey. I appreciate any feedback provided here. Kegged my first beer today. I've read a lot of the kegging / force carb threads and even some articles. Here is my confusion: 1. Do I set the disired PSI per the temp I'll store the beer at (fridge about 40degrees) or the temp the beer was...

Thanks PHenry! I'm was quite concerned because this is like my 5th batch of beer and all previous have been pretty bad. In my opinion, this is mostly due to not taking sanitation as seriously as I should. This time I was very careful with sanitation and used Starsan etc....... So, when I...

Any advice is appreciated. I just took a hydro reading on a porter I brewed in a 5 gallon plastic fermenter. It had been fermenting for a full week. When I opened it up to get a beer sample, I noticed what I consider to be a not very significantly large krausen ring in the bucket. I...

Hi I brewed a porter. After the boil, before cooling the wort, 2 of the muslin sacks holding my hops were stuck ('burned') on the bottom. It was extremely difficult to remove them. Ultimately, I pulled both bags off to remove them. The bottom of my kettle was burned and there was some...
