As the title suggests. I am having an issue with not enough carbonation on my beer. It's my first time kegging so please excuse my misunderstanding if there is any. I racked a cream ale into my pinlock keg, pressurized it to 12psi and left it in the keezer for a week at 3C, leaving the gas on...

I am about to keg my first beer in a newly built keezer and before I did that I wanted to make sure I had the proper line length. Looking at the online calculators it appears I would need 12.5 feet of length for each keg for 8mm OD/5mm ID EVA line. I was kind of under the impression that I...

I am looking to brew up a Belgian Whit in the next day or so and my current yeast selection is so so. I have WB-06 (came with the kit I got) and Munich Classic. Looking to create more of a Hoegarden or ShockTop style/flavor and I think my current yeast choices are not the ones to use. Thoughts?

I am brewing a high gravity Octoberfest style beer on Wednesday. Acording to my hydrometer it was 1.070. I pictched the yeast around 24C and after about 12 or so hours the airlock was going and sitting around 22C. I should mention I am using US-04 and started it by rehydrating it before...

So I am plannin on making a blueberry wheat beer for the hot days ahead. I am currently fermenting a 5 gal batch having used some wheat malt grains for steeping, a can of Coopers wheat malt extract and about half a container of pale malt extract for the fermentables, and Safbrew WB-06 for the...

I opened up my wheat beer fv after 2 weeks to find this. If i were to siphon under it and bottle what I can would this be ok? I took a small sample under it and it tasted good no real off flavors. Just dont want to get anyone sick.
