    Please help me confirm the worst...

    Is it infected? This would be my first one, but it was bound to happen at some point. Some of the floaties are leftover trub that came through the siphon because they were floating in the primary after being moved, but now there are alot of white patches. See pics...if it is infected...

    Pumpkin ale didn't finish with enough flavor. Help!

    Hey guys it's fall and my first shot at pumpkin ale didn't go all that well. It's finished and carbed in the keg and now I am faced with a dilemma. It seems to have little pumpkin or spice flavor. Overall it's a decent brew, but you really have to reach to taste any of the things I added...

    Mash tun broke while sparging (screwed?)

    So I poured in my sparge water while making my pumpkin ale and began stirring (batch sparge). I noticed I couldn't feel the toilet supply line filter with my spoon. After some though and feeling around, realized it was disconnected from my hose. I tried to get it back on but it wasn't happening...

    Is chillplate Ice a problem?

    So in my kegerator I have major chill plate ice. Like 1-2 inches on the whole thing. My question is less about how to fix the ice and more about is it actually an issue? Other than it sticking out a bit is it really a problem? Thanks all.

    When to keg after cold crash

    So I'm cold crashing a honey blonde right now and here's my question... When ready to siphon to keg should I pull the carboy out of the fridge and let it settle overnight, or pull it out and siphon while it's still cold? I can't siphon from fridge because of height (it's my kegerator)...

    Just installed a beer tower fan. Few questions.

    So I finally installed a fan box with a tube running up into the tower to cool it. Works great! Very happy to fix that first pour issue. Now onto a few questions for others who are experienced on this setup... 1) I noticed now my tower is always condensating on the outside. Is this normal...

    Aging before carbonating

    Is this actually possible? It seems like most people talk about aging their brew in either a keg or bottle. To me that means they have already carbonated or are in the process of carbonating. So would extending your secondary "clarifying" stage count as aging, even though the beer is not...

    Force carbing without serving

    I currently have a single faucet setup in my kegerator and I'm not ready to spend the money to fully upgrade to a dual setup yet. I'd like to setup an air distributer and hooked up a second keg of beer to carb while the other keg is also hooked up but for serving, assuming the carbonation...

    4ft Beer Lines

    I'm having foam issues with my first keg. It's literally all foam. I've tried dispensing at anything from no PSI to 8 PSI and still all foam. It's a single tower with 1 faucet and 3/16 beer lines. Temp is 40F. Lines are 4ft long. Beer is not overcarbed (in fact I'm carbing it a bit longer...

    Convert Single Faucet Tower to Triple

    What do you guys think? I have a 3" diameter single faucet tower on a kegerator I just picked up at a great price. I'd ultimately like atleast a 2 faucet tower and really I want a 3. I found this item doing some other searches but couldn't figure out if someone had done this before. Basically...
