Thanks guys! How much maltodextrin?

Guy at LHBS talked me into Columbus leaf hops. Put about 1.5oz in a muslin bag directly into the keg for 2 days. It tasted like completely over-hopped grass beer. I removed the hops and discarded, but now thinking this beer is ruined.

I have used this keg previously without issue. I replaced the o-ring today. Do holes in the dip tube magically appear? :( I just came in from the garage. I took out the dip tube. No holes anywhere. I removed the diptube o-ring and re-lubed it. I made sure the poppit was working and there was no...

Thx for the input. Though, I'm assuming you said the line switch backwards, right? If problem goes away, problem is the line. If it doesn't, it might be pick-up tube?

This is driving me insane. I have significant foaming issues on only one of my kegs (currently 3 others attached to same CO2 tank and manifold). I use the set-it-and-forget-it method at 11-12 psi, so I am not thinking it is close to being overcarbed. Here are the details: Keezer @ 40 deg F...

After doing some searching, most seem to recommend Williamette, Kent Goulding, etc. Do you guys agree? Also, about 7-10 days in the keg and then remove?

Good idea. I have been doing quite a bit of searching and may end up adding some bourbon (small amount of course) directly to the keg. Not sure

Brewed a NB Brown Ale that I added 0.25oz of Hazelnut extract to at kegging (starting to think this was barely anything). It has been about 4-5 weeks in the keg and it just doesn't have much flavor. I am considering popping the top and adding some other flavor to the keg and re-sealing. I am...

It is the most bizarre thing.

Guys, I am stumped and need some help. Little background: Have only brewed extract kits to-date. Recently built a keezer and started kegging 4 batches ago. Also have a separate freezer used as temp controller for fermenting. Have used the same buckets, carboys, kettle, and all other equipment...

I just bought the NB kit and hope to brew in the next few weeks!

Anyone ever follow-up after doing this recipe? How did it turn out???

I didn't add brown sugar to the boil when I just brewed the NB Nut Brown Ale, but now am thinking I would like to do something to it to give it more of a flare. Should I add some brown sugar to the keg (secondary) and let it sit at room temp for another week or two prior to hooking it up to the...

How did it do? I am brewing the same kit tomorrow and will either: Add 1lb brown sugar to the boil OR Add oak chips soaked in bourbon/rum/Stranahan's whiskey to a secondary. Thoughts??

Can't be of too much help as I just put my NB honey porter into the keg today and also set on 10psi. Does your regulator respond and deliver co2 if you pull the pressure relief valve slightly? Are you sure you have co2 in tank? Did you spray ALL components, including lid oring for leak testing?

If you haven't sold out, how much for 2 of them to 80120?

Just got my tickets.... can't wait.

Great, thanks! Did you use vodka so that no bourbon flavor goes through and only Oak? Did you pour the vodka into secondary too, or did you straing the soaked oak chips through the bag and then just put the bag in secondary?
