Thanks. We drank from the kegs after the co2 was gone, so I probably drained the air out myself... But will check!

I force carbonate and had two kegs hooked up to a CO2 canister. My CO2 ran out, and looks like my beer may have gone flat. Can I recarbobate the kegs or are they shot??

Last night I brewed a batch that was an experiment recipe I just made up using dry extract. I started with about 10 qts of water and added 4lbs of wheat malt extract at the boil. At 20 mins left in the boil, I added another 3lbs of dry malt. The wort became very thick, and looked like lava. I...

So I started kegging a few months ago, and haven't looked at a bottle since. I decided to bottle a raspberry wheat beer tonight, and brought out some bottles from the basement. I must not have cleaned them well because they are moldy, really moldy.... I soaked them in c-brute and scrubbed them...

Im using a recipe for a Japanese beer which says that the beer may benefit to sit in a secondary fermenter for two week after the primary. It goes onto state that you should use a glass carboy. Two questions: Is a secondary normally necessary? Do I need you use a carboy or can I use one of my...
