Hi, I have an AHS Guinness Drought clone I purchased about a year ago. I pretty much forgot about it and never got to brewing it. I was hoping to brew it today, but I can't find the instructions sheet it came with. Maybe someone who has brewed this beer kit before could help out. The one...

True, but I had sealed the container and placed it in the fridge before tasting it. It just tasted a bit bubbly, not exactly carbonated. Sorry I left that part out. However, I do now leave the container sealed and when I see it is bloated I let the gas out, so now when I serve myself a bit it...

A few weeks back my mother left about a 1/2 gallon of 100% juice on the counter and as of today it is fermenting. I'm not sure how it happened, I guess my mom left the lid loose on the bottle and some natural yeast and bacteria hoped in for the ride. I noticed this was happening because when I...

Where I live (South side of the border) cops really suck hard... I don't trust a cop for nothing over here and try to avoid them as much as possible. They don't enforce laws at all and just do as they please. You can easily buy your way out of a ticket. I have never done so, but my friends...

Would be awesome to see some serious space travel during my time... Just imagine being able to witness the first manned expedition to mars, and beyond... crazy stuff

Can you guys seriously absorb the fact that other solar systems, and galaxies are light years away from us? I mean, we will never reach a solar system in our life time, unless of course you live to be 100 years of age, which is fkn rare... I don't know, i've been drinking and thinking about...

You know, sometimes it's good to stick to tradition, not always, but in this case, you certainly want to stick to tradition....

My zombie plan pretty much involves me wearing chain mail because that way it will make it harder for a zombie to reach my flesh. I would probably arm myself with a samurai sword or any other really shard blade for melee.

Yes, fermentation was already done. However, it was already in the fridge with a blow off. I just lowered the temp to 45 F (before that it was set to 68 F). Thanks everyone for the replies :D I think I will just go ahead and rack the beer. The star san doesn't seem to have really mixed...

Thanks for the replies guys. Yup, it really sucks :( But I believe I will take your advice, I just cant bare to let that batch go to waste. If there is a chance I can save it I will go with that. Fortunately it seems it hasn't mixed with the rest of the brew. All I see is a thick cloudy...

So, I had a beautiful 5 gallon batch in my fridge, ready to keg. So I decided to crash cool it before hand and this morning I set the temp to about 45 F. I had a blow of connected to the fermenter which I had the end of the hose in a jar with a star san solution (This stuff has been in there...

THe first time I opened the tank it was in the green zone at about 1,000 psi. I did relieve the regulator of any gas a couple of times, but each time I open the tank, the pressure is at about 1600-1800 psi. From the first couple of pics I posted you can see the needle on the gauge at about...

at about 1800 PSI

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. It does appear the hose is attached to an output on the manifold, but it isn't, I should have taken a better picture. However, it's working now like a charm. I have no idea what the problem was. All I did was turn off the cylinder, and then turn it on...

Yeah, I double checked and checked again. Also, What's up with the regulator? When I first opened the cylinder it marked it in the green (Full) area, and then I turned the cylinder off, and turned on again and the needle spiked. Here's a pic: and yes, I did shut the valve of. EDIT: I...

I'm getting ready to keg my first 5 gallon batch, but I don't seem to get this to work. I already attached the regulator, made sure it was on the off position and opened the cylinder valve. I connected everything to the keg and set the PSI on the regulator to about 5-8 psi. I turned the valve...

haha, that's partly why I'm asking. That's how they do it here in Mexico. Kg :P

Thanks, I will look into getting one of does. Also, how much CO2 is supposed to fit inside a 5# CO2 tank? The reason I ask this is because I am at my dads house in Mexico, and I went to get my tank filled, and the guy there seemed not to be sure how much CO2 could fit in the tank since he is...

BTW: one more question. What size wrench do you need for a cornie keg? I have some pliers but they don't work that good at tightening the posts (I think that's the word I'm going for). I'm guessing I need to disassemble the keg in order to clean and disinfect it properly.

Ok, thanks a lot for the info! I will go ahead and keg then, and get the lube later. I got my kegs off of kegconnection.com so they have been reconditioned and are supposed to be in good condition. This is my first time kegging, so I just don't want to screw it up :P However, I'm exited and...
