Just curious if anyone has tried or has thoughts on adding some hops to an already tapped keg. I have a keg of bass clone that tastes really good but I am not happy with the smell. It is a little sweet smelling, which is throwing off the beer so I was thinking if cracking the keg open for a...

2K on black in Vegas, fortune favors the bold.

You can do five gallon batches. I live in a 600 sq ft apartment with my girlfriend , my dog , and a cat and I brew 5 gallon batches. Shoot most of the time I have multiple brews going at once. When you get down to it the space savings you will gain by going with 2-3 gallon batches will be...

My first question is what is the gravity reading now? Did you go by that extract recipe u posted in the link ? If so u can guess what the og was based on that recipe and then look at the sg now and make some decisions . That recipe says og of around 1.053 so unless u messed something up or the...

Let it go to three weeks mark check the gravity for any changes and then bottle. That way when you get it all carbed up it wont still be super green. Resist the urge to jump the gun.

Social Brewing Company, Beach Chalet, Thirstbear and Magnolia are all awesome and located in SF but if you wanna have a great time Speakeasy has a warehouse party on Fridays and Saturdays that is the best time you can have with your cloths on. I would look into seeing if they have one when you...

I would second the all the way problem , when i first started using the picnic taps and opened them halfway they foamed alot. I still have that problem when new people come over and I dont pour for them.

Just wanted to share this event for anyone in the San Francisco Bay area. The San Francisco Brewers Guild puts this event on every year however this was my first time. It was located at pier 45 in San Fran on a WWII naval ship docked there the Jeremiaha O'Brien. The ship is still sea worthy and...

I am currently attending San Francisco State majoring in History, just finishing my last semester. Seems as if age was also on the topic so I will add that I am 25 years young. Doesn't seem like there are too many on the site, wonder how these numbers would compare to a question on how many...

It will be fine. If you used the same amount as if you were bottling it will be overcarbed however with the keg you can blow off the pressure and get it down to proper carb levels.

I have a question on the freezer for this model. Has anyone encountered dripping from the freezer after the compartment is removed. I have a decent amount of frozen spikes on mine and it seems whenever the fridge is opened multiple times to grab beer they melt and produce alot of h20 in the...

I have the new style model with two pin lock cornies in it, it is very tight and required cutting of the plastic for the door, and even with that it barley fits.

My first two kegged beers ,an all Centennial Pale Ale and the Boondock Irish stout from the site.

If it makes you feel better broke my first hydrometer taking it out of the package, slipped right out of my hand and boom, had to send someone to get me an new one because I already started brewing.

Congrats and Welcome to the addiction !

Ran 30 psi over night (about 24 hrs total) and am happy to say that after letting a little pressure out, getting it back to serving pressure instead of 30 psi, it is pouring great and tastes awesome with a good amount of carbonation and head. I am even more excited because the recipe is from the...

Ok sounds good so I should stick with 30 psi for around two or three days then, or as you said aroud 10 psi for a week or two.

I didn't know I needed to hit it with co2 to seal it up I didn't find that out until it was too late, I will do that in the future. However even with this it still built pressure. I left the keg on 10 psi all last night but I guess I will try it when I get home and then if still too low bump it...

The airlock will stop going nuts after a few days this is normal because the bulk of fermantation is over, that does not mean that fermentation has stopped. Your beer is fine, the temp on the other hand depends on what yeast and style of beer you are doing but if this is your first brew I would...

This is my first batch in my new kegging system. The beer is an extract based stout just for reference. I brewed the stout and got it through fermentation fine just like I have done with bottling but replacing the secondary with a corny. I decided to naturally carbonate the beer since in order...
