    Best Dried Yeast for a Hefe?

    Mangrove Jack's M20 is pretty good. Even comparable to 3068 in my opinion.

    Brewing in a country with alcohol prohibition

    Well, Turkey is not a dry country (yet☺️). We even have a couple of homebrew supply stores, brewpubs and local craft beer brands. The count is not comparable to western countries of course. In fact craft beer and homebrewing are having a boom lately. But you may be right, I have a 6...

    Belgian(ish) Honey Pale Ale Recipe, and process

    Do a proper Belgian step mash. It does wonders to get the authentic Belgiany thing ☺️ I had the same problem with my single infusion Belgians, there was a night and day difference when I did the phenolic expression step mash. (both with dry yeast and liquid yeast+starter). Check...

    Glass beads to separate wort from mash ?

    By the way, you can brew a perfectly clear beer using a bag. Mashing technique has little to do with clarity. It's just a filter to separate grain from wort. Adequate calcium levels in the wort, mash pH, solid hot and cold breaks, whirlfloc and cold conditioning one week (even with bottle...

    Correctly Rehydrating Dry Yeast

    I used one packet for a 6 gallon batch (sprinkled dry, not rehydrated, because slightly underpitching hefeweizens is OK), and brewed the beer according to the "banana" guidelines indicated in this article : http://braumagazin.de/article/brewing-bavarian-weissbier-all-you-ever-wanted-to-know/ At...

    Correctly Rehydrating Dry Yeast

    Try Mangrove Jack's M20 for a dry Hefeweizen yeast. I had excellent results with a step mash and fermenting at 22 Celcius. Does not compare to WB06 at all, it's a proper Hefeweizen yeast.

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    Thanks everybody for the ideas :) Unfortunately, only hoses I have (and could find) are 1/4 diameter ones. I already ordered a roll of 3/16 hose from Amazon, but it will take around 20 days to arrive :( So the only thing I could try while waiting it to arrive is degassing the IPA. The...

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    OK, I'll try degassing and letting it settle for a day. After hours of fiddling with connectors, posts, hoses and diptubes, the only logical conclusion is that the beer is overcarbed as you say.

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    FYI I also changed the liquid QD of the very single line I have. No change. I highly suspect that there is something with the beer. Bu it tastes so good (even if it's flat :) )

    I only have one line, and I'm swapping it between kegs :)

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    I already swapped out the IPA post with another spare keg, problem persists. I'm too wasted to swap the Brown ale and IPA posts, because I drank 5 pints of 8% IPA-Brown ale trying to resolve this issue :D Maybe tomorrow...

    Captain's log, star date 2017. I released the pressure on the IPA keg by pulling the prv valve, tried various pouring pressures. Foamy beer. Brown ale is still good. I think that I'm gonna throw out this keg out of the window :D

    Update: I drained the line out, reconnected, no change. 90% foam on IPA, perfect pour on Brown Ale.

    indymedic, I didn't drain it out. I'll try it. kev211, yes, I turned the pressure down, and brought bach to serving pressure (12 psi) before pouring.

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    Update: I have another spare keg lying around, and switched the diptube and liquid post with the spare keg. This is the result: I highly suspect that this IPA is cursed, becaused it's the only variable left :D

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    Cavpilot2000, I did it exactly like you described, and cleaned out the diptube and liquid output post. There was no hop debris or any other obstructions there. Connected it again, still CO2 coming out of solution in the middle of the beer line :) That's the main question, if there were any...

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    Both kegs are connected to the same regulator via a CO2 distributor manifold (same psi on both kegs, IPA sits for one week, Brown ale sits for 1.5 week on 12 psi) I only disconnect the liquid QD from IPA and connect to the Brown ale, and the problem is gone. That makes me think that there is a...

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    Liquid QD is the same(I disconnected it from right keg and connected to left keg), it does not cause any problems with the keg on the left (Brown Ale). It's either the beer itself (never heard of such a thing), or a problem with the right keg. It's interesting that the left keg (without...

    Please help a kegging newbie-CO2 coming out of beer in liquid line

    New info: I switched the kegs, the left keg is a bourbon barrel aged arrogant bastard clone. No problems with this one, a perfect pour. After that I switched again to the IPA(right keg), and have the same foaming problem. What may be the cause of this? Can it be a hop particle stuck somewhere...
