So I just moved to kegging and I still can't get carbonation correct to pour. I have 1/4" quick disconnect to picnic tap. I have tried pouring at 10-12 psi and have even bled co2 and tried to pour at 3-5 psi. I still get way too much foam in attempting to bottle and pouring a pint. I tried...

Hey all, My last three brews (pumpkin ale, vanilla porter, and breakfast stout) have all had issues with the flavors and/or spices falling out and becoming non noticeable. I brewed the pumpkin ale in August but even by October the spice didn't seem to be there as much as it was in...

So I brewed Northern Brewer's Smashing Pumpkin Ale 2.5 weeks ago. This past Saturday I checked the gravity and it was 1.020 (OG was 1.055). I knew that was high so I swirled around my fermentor without splashing twice a day in the hopes that the yeast would get the remaining sugars. I checked...

Hey all, My buddy is bringing his Dad's all grain equipment over on Saturday, so this will be my first real all grain experience. We decided on a Hoppy Wheat brew, which seems perfect for this time of year (minus the snow we got on Tuesday....) This is based off of Thunderworm's recipe from...

So I'm trying my first all grain tomorrow. Since I still do stove top boiling with my 5 gallon kettle and I want to try a full boil for once, it'll be small batch (about 3.5 gallons when all is said and done). I was able to get a water profile and crunching the numbers through Palmer's Excel...

So a friend wants to brew with me and since he is of Irish descent and loves Guiness, we figured we'd brew a good stout (should be good timing with St Patrick's Day coming up too). Anyways, my LHBS has an extract kit which contains the following: 6 lb English Light Malt syrub 0.75 roasted...

So I am doing a kit from my local homebrew store. Here is what it has: 6lbs LME 0.5 Roasted Barley 2 lb corn sugar 2 oz challenger hops - 60 mins Munton's Gold Yeast I was also planning on a partial mash. Maybe 2-3 lbs of 2 row and 0.5 of chocolate malt. What are your thoughts on...

Need your help. For what it's worth, this will be my 5th batch, and will be my 2nd Partial Mash (BIAB). Still a beginning and have a lot to learn. Feel free to give any comments or ask questions. Thanks for the help! 3.5 # Marris Otter 0.5 # Crystal 75 Hoping to mash at 153 for 60...
