    kegging noob; leak question

    What is an acceptable leak rate? Is there one? Or should a keg hold pressure indefinitely? I've got a used keg which seems to be losing pressure, ever so slightly. I've lost 2 psi in about 6 hours. I've submersed the keg in water, looking for holes but nothing showed up, so I'm fairly...

    New to kegging: Corny kegs, gas line and OD Differences

    Morning folks, I'm putting together my equipment for kegging, and I ran into a snag. I have a corny keg, and the gas line connector has a OD of 1/4". My regulator, however, has OD 3/8" product connector. Is this as simple as getting an inline coupler that changes diameter? If yes, will...

    Does the amount of yeast you pitch modify the speed at which a batch ferments? I ask because I used two packets of yeast on my latest 5 gallon on Wednesday. Had wild fermentation yesterday ( had blowout tube installed, so nothing crazy happened ), but it's already dropping off significantly...

    First batch results: A tad sour

    I made a Wheat and Barley from extract kit, partial boil. Was in the fermenter for 2 weeks, bottle rested for at least a week. Final result was "not bad", but had a sour after taste to it. I don't feel that was intended in the kit, so does that indicate a possible infection? I am sure I...

    Yeast pinching question

    Just did my first batch on Saturday, and it's bubbling away in a cool dark place. However, one thing that bothered me ( after the fact of course ) is that the "pitching instructions" on the yeast said I should sprinkle it in to the wort. Which I did and then sealed it up. What I didn't do was...
