Hello all. If I put some of my home brew from my corny keg into a growler and keep it on ice, how long will it take for the beer to go flat? We want to take some beer camping and dont want to have to take the keg/c02 tank and all that stuff. Thank you! Aaron

Hello. I started a batch of american style light lager 5 days ago and it is still bubbling quite a bit and seems a lot more "cloudy" than usual. I used 3 lbs of sugar this time instead of 5 cups like in the last. Is it just taking longer to ferment due to that? Is the cloudiness just due to...

Hello all. I am going to brew an American Style Light Beer and add some cucumber flavor to it. Would it best to use dextrose or spray dry malt, and about how much? Just curious as to the pros/cons/benefits of using one over the other for this type of beer. Any feedback is greatly...

Hello. I started a Pilsner LME batch of beer 3 days ago. A few questions: 1. Is it normal for there to be a lot of sediment at the bottom of the carboy already? In previous batches, it took a while longer for that to happen. 2. When I added the yeast to the carboy, the wort probably...

Hello all. With a Muntons Premium Pilsner LME kit, if I only added 2 LBS of Light Spray Dry Malt to it while boiling, will that be enough? I brought approximately 3 gallons of water to a boil, then stirred in the LME really good and then stirred in the 2 LBS of the light spray dry malt really...

Hello all. I need to replace my beer line. Do you guys suggest a specific brand that is good quality vs buying tubing from a department store like Home Depot? I know the ID should be 3/16, does the OD of the tube matter? Thanks! Aaron

Hello all. Once I siphon my beer into my corny keg and bleed out the oxygen and pump the CO2 into the keg and get it carbonated - at this point do I let it sit in the fridge with all that pressure in it to settle, or do I bleed out some of the pressure before letting it settle in the fridge...

Once all the ingredients are boiled together and I add the wort to my glass carboy, how much water do I add into the carboy in addition to the wort to fill the carboy? After that is done, do I just drop in the yeast and let it do its thing, or once I drop the yeast in, do I mix it around a bit...

Hello all. Question for you experienced peeps out there. A friend of mine has recently came up with a good "concoction" when we are drinking beer. In a draft beer, we will muddle a certain vegetable into the beer and add lime and salt and it has an amazing flavor. My question is, when...

Few questions that I'm sure someone can answer pretty easily. I have a 5 gallon Cornelius keg. 1. I don't leave the C02 hooked up to the keg when I'm not serving because of various reasons, mainly because of no room in fridge. I serve my beer at about 4-5 PSi, anything higher is too much...

I have a 5 gallon cornelius keg and this is the first time I am going to use it. Can someone suggest how much iodophor to use with how much water to sanitize? I don't want to use too much or too little. Thank you!

What is the best way to clean a keg tap line? Obviously after use, beer stays in the tubing once removed from the keg, is it ok for the beer to sit in there until next use and just toss out that beer from the hose, or is there a good way to clean the tubing out after use? Thank you.

I have a Munton's wheat beer mix (1.8 kg) and I have a 3 lb bag of Spray Dry Malt. How much of the spray dry malt should I use in the mix? The Muntons say use 2.2 lbs of sugar, so if I am using spray dry malt, do I use the same amount (2.2 lb)? If I use more than it calls for does it just...

This may be a silly question, but if someone could provide me some info I would appreciate it. Say after drinking some beer out of my keg, I want to pump it with 10 psi to let it sit in the fridge before drinking the next time, when the cO2 is connected and turned on, how long does it need to...
