I have been through so much for this beer and my heart hit the ground when I poured my first beer out of my keg and saw all these white floatys. I have througly cleaned my keg twice. When I was running my starsan solution through my lines I was noticing all these floatys in the solution...

I'm cleaning my keg lines before I put in my second beer into keg. the keg had sat for a couple months nearly kicked before washing it out. I gave it a nice long (4 days) soak of PBW and ran solution through lines. I rinsed out the keg several times. Visual inspection looked good so ran...

Ok so I went to clean my lines and put my new beer in the keg but when I turned on the co2 I got no sound what so ever. Odd. My psi gauge goes up but no co2 transferring through. I was hoping something was frozen and jamming up the works but it's been sitting out for 6 hours now. Still...

Anyone have a recipe for Smuttynose's Star Island Single. AG or extract, I can convert in Beersmith. I've been trying to look very hard for the last several days with no success. I would really appreciate some help with this one.

Can anyone help me deconstruct this beer. A good friend of mine wants to brew this beer as his first beer but I cannot find a recipe at all. Thank you in advance

It is my first time hooking up my kegging equipment, and really no problems until I put the cleaning liquid, and then again later with my beer. I was getting a lot of my cleaning liquid coming out of what looked to be my threaded connection, but I tightened down the clamp and it seemed to stop...

This is for my brother who is not on the forums. He likes the taste of the Pale Ale can from Coopers LME. It's prehopped so people can just open the can and add water, but he uses it as a base. He adds more dry malt extract, grains and hops to his wort. I bought him Beersmith, but none...

I started off with approx 5 gallons of wort which the unit did eventually get to a boil. At the end of the 60 min boil, it wasn't even boiling...is this normal? I tried adjusting the air intake, and everything else was wide open. Nothing would get this thing to boil again. Granted I had a...

Ok, I want to appologize for my kegging newbness, but I am new to the equipment and believe I may have broken a gauge on my regulator. I get the kegging kit...very excited opened the box to find a few missing pieces. Called company they will ship out missing pieces. Happiness returns...

With all my ingredients it registers 250 at a rolling boil. I steeped my grains at what should have been 155 but with that room for error probably 120 or so. I steeped 1/2 lb 2 row and 1/2 lb of wheat. It's an extract kit purchased from AHB. (I know I don't get the 2 row either). Question is...

I put this together in beersmith, but I don't believe the color one bit though. I'm looking for as light (in color) pale ale w/o doing late additions. What is a more accurate SRM color? My wort will be between 4.5-5 gallons. (I have a 6 gallon pot) Type: Extract Date: 3/31/2011...

I've got to a point in my extract beer making that I'm happy with the beer taste that is being produced, but the last hurdle I can't seem to beat is color. They all come out a very dark brown. I'm not going AG yet, I know this would fix the problem, but here is my question: Does malt...

I researched heavily and found many people on these forums liked the beer Moose Drool from Big Sky Brewery. With a couple successful brews under my belt I ordered me up a clone, and made up my 5 gallons. Lets just say I won't have a problem drinking too many of them after a hard days work...

I'm going to be purchasing a pin lock keg, and putting ball lock posts on it. I've read you can convert a Cornelius brand pin lock keg with Cornelius brand ball lock posts. My question is this, since I'm swapping out different style posts etc. is that going to screw up my o ring sizes? Am I...

They are two different companies that make two different styles of kegs correct? Firestone is Cokes that is shorter and fatter? Does Cornelius make Firestone style kegs? Sorry if this is confusing, but I'm looking to buy a Firestone keg kit (because it's shorter), with Ball lock...

I'm new to kegging, and for that I appoligize. I only want to have the fridge hold one keg. The fridge I have does have the freezer unit at the top. I have learned about the Firestone style of kegs which are shorter, and can be fitted with ball locks through this cornykegs.com. This will...

1) Bottles are rinsed 2-3 times under hot water out of faucet 2) Bottles soaked for 24 hours in Rubbermaid plastic bin, with 10 Gallons of water and 5 Oz. of PBW. (some bottles still have labels on them) 3) Remove bottles from water, remove labels, and set on table while dumping out PBW...

i came across this game and it is very similar, if not even more fun. Enjoy http://www.miniclip.com/games/boxing-bonanza/en/

Have you found your favorite beer? Is there one? Is it even possible? With so many different types of malts, hops and other additions, there is a limitless potential of combinations. To me, finding my favorite beer, is kind of like searching for the Holy Grail. It may be out there, yet...

If your looking for a very heavy hop aroma, can you use high AA hops like Columbus/Warrior/Chinook? Most recipes seem to use those as the full 60 min boil hops and then tone down to lighter hops. Will be cooking with heavy AA hops. Thanks guys, this question is for my brother who is not...
