I made a beer 6 months ago and it turned out fine. I just opened a bottle I had left over and it foamed like crazy and had floating peices in it. Tastes ok, but looks nasty! What happened?

This happened before and it was giving me problems with getting the fridge cold enough. I unplugged it and let it defrost, but now its back again developing like snow accumulation. I have heard about cooling fans. Will that do the trick? If not, how else do I stop this from happening?

This has to be a pretty common thing b/c its happened with two different Auto-siphons. After I clean it with PBW or Oxyclean, it develops these streaks all over it. They look like scratches but thats not possible, given that all I did was clean it. Anyone know what that is? Any problems with...

I am new to kegging and kegerators. I bought a Haier Kegerator (Brewmaster) used and i'm having problems getting the temps cold enough. I put a glass of water inside and the temp reads ~43-44. There was supposed to be a trick where you could adjust a tiny screw on the thermostat to make it...

The guy at my LHBS gave me this recipe that he got out of a book or mag and then tweaked it a bit. Original Recipe: 10.33 lbs Us 2-Row Pale malt 1/2 lb dextrin malt 1/4 lb Crystal 60L 1 oz Nugget-90 min 1/2 oz Perle- 15 min 1 oz Cascade= 1 min Wyeast 1056 1/2 oz cascade dry...

I got a pretty nasty dent in my 8 gal Aluminum brew pot. First, are there any issues that would come along with continuing to brew with it? If so, can I at least use it for heating mash/sparge water with no ill effects?

I found a used Danby Kegerator for sale on Craig's List for $250. Says it comes with a full Co2 tank, 1 tap tower and everything included. I think the guy was using it for full sized kegs. All I know about kegerators is that I really want one! Don't want to make an impulse buy. What do you...

I plan on brewing my 4th AG brew this weekend. I have had problems in the past with heat loss from my MT Cooler. Not as much over the hour, but a lot during the Strike/Dough in. I tested it last night. Filled it up ALL the way last night at 11 PM and it was 150 deg. 10 AM this morning it was 137...

I did my 3rd AG brew this past weekend and continue to have problems with strike temp and temp drops. This is driving me absolutely nuts! I preheated my tun once with about 2 or 3 gallons of 175 deg water and within 15 min the temp dropped to below 150. I tried it again with 180 deg water and...

I am brand new to beersmith and almost just as new to AG Brewing. Anyone know how to set up the equipment profile to match my set up. On my first batch of AG I missed the mash temp so I guess I'm a little paranoid about getting the calculations right.
