I asked the guy at my LHBS, and he said there may be some junk in my dip-tube. We'll see if a good scrubbing resolves the problem...

Thanks for the help all! I just purged the CO2 and then set it to 2psi as you suggested YB. The beer is a bit undercarbed. I also forgot to mention that, in the current setup, I can fill a pint with foam in a second. I bet that is part of the problem... yet you said with 10 feet of 3/16th...

Hey All, I'm relatively new to kegging and I'm having a beast of a time getting my beer to not be so foamy (all foam, really). I'm confused about this whole keg balancing thing and thinking it might be the cause of my problem. Heres my setup: Keg at 10 psi at 39 degrees, 10 feet of 3/16'' ID...

Thanks for the advice! I'll be buying some sachets of yeast today. Any advice of what I should do with the starter?

Hey guys, So I'm brewing an IPA today and made a starter last night from a vial of expired yeast, hoping I could get it to come alive and ferment my brew today. I made about 1.8L starter using DME and some yeast nutrient, boiled 10 minutes and have a gravity of 1.048. I let it cool to...

I have a crankandstein 2S. It's awesome for $76. You can either buy his hopper or build one yourself, then hook a drill up to the crank and off you go. Great crush, too! Not much more than a corona without all the shredding :) Heres the link...

my gravity and garbage powered cooling system.

I'm also have excessive foam troubles with Perlicks, 5ft hose, and these stirrers...

Seconded.. I use WLP001 in almost all my ales.

Just spit in the starch a bunch... amylase is found in your mouth :)

Sounds like you need to start malting your own grains! Or buying them online.

Sounds like you had quite the weekend!

Any suggestion as to which one will hold 2 corni kegs and a 6gal carboy? Thanks!

It's finally done and ready to drink! I was very skeptical when I tasted it while racking-- it frankly tasted weird. It tasted strange when I bottled it too. I think it's because I used nottingham and my living room was just a tad too warm for that yeast. The beer also changed colors! I...

I'd have to go with Ninkasi. All their beers are mind-blowingly delicious.

Brewed this yesterday! The wort tasted awesome. It's been about 20 hours and bubbling away nicely in its carboy. Just as a note; zested about 15 small lemons and ended up with about 5 ounces of zest-- far too much! I would guess that the zest from about 6 small lemons would be enough. Going...

For one of my first brews, I was brewing indoors and the stove was on an island. I didn't notice that my girlfriend had put my computer by behind the kettle. The screen melted and bulged outwards. Luckily the lcd didn't break, but I was never able to close the lid of that laptop again.

Just brewed this one today! The wort tasted really good, hope it turns out well!! (just realized I put in 1/2tsp extra of both allspice and cinnamon) it'll hopefully be okay.

I'm curious if it will krauzen?

:rockin: Thanks for the advice! Looks like it'll get me :drunk:
