All thanks for the replies. Update. So all my bottled beer have been at about 68 degrees. Had a gathering last night and every beer had very good carbonation and head retention. Not saying some of the posters were wrong but I do believe the 34 degrees temperature had sonething to do with it...

How do you perform your diacetyl test and whats the purpose. So thst is what I will try as far as carbing goes.

Well that right there could be part of my problem! Can you explain how you lose CO2 through the filter?

The filler that I have is a Blichmann stainless bottle filler. i have that attached to Beerbrite Filtration System. The brew flow is as such: out the keg to the filtration cartridges to the gun then bottle. Depends on how I have the bottle angled and PSI of the tank depends on the foam. At...

Ok I can understand that. I have another two kegs in the freezer that has been in for a week. Going to wait two weeks and try bottling. I have checked the charts several times and I have the correct setting. From your guessed based theory im thinking I should shake the kegs every couple of days...

Got a question for you. I carb out a keg. Keg is in freeze at 35 degrees with 13 psi on it for 4 days. I have a bottling gun attached to a filter. After I bottle all my beers I place the bottles back in the freeze at 35 degrees. When opening some bottles I have little head and others a lot. I...

You all have been much help. This is what im going to do. I got some PH stablizer, a new hydrometer, grains milled a second time, and ton of faith. lol. I am going to do my first run off like normal and for my sparge I will heat to 170 and split it stir for about 5 mins vorlauf and drain then...

Ok that is worth a good try. Would you mind explaining to me what you mean by splitting the sparge? To me that is taking 9qts of the 18 and pour in to let sit for 10 and stir crazy then to take the other 8qts and do the same and then get my second run off. Also I take the pre boil gravity once...
