This is the second time I have racked onto a yeast cake. I typically do this to get faster fermentation and a way to use the yeast twice, especially with a similar style. I brewed an APA first, pitched the yeast US-5 and it was actually vigorously fermenting within about 12 hours. Racked...

Hi All, I am having trouble getting my CO2 in flush with my in post. After I clicked it into place I sprayed it lightly with warm water and soap and there is apparently CO2 coming out the bottom of the connection as one fairly large bubble will grow every 15 seconds or so. My keg was set to 30...

Maybe I'm just not cut out for this keg thing. Any help is much appreciated. I just bought a brand new 2 tap regulator from midwest supplies and hooked it up to my CO2. I tightened the connection to the CO2 tank and placed the plastic ring inside. I slightly turn on the CO2 and it blows right...

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm hoping someone can answer it. My tap tower came with two female pieces on the tubing so you could easily attach to the coupler. The only issue is both female pieces are designed for standard keg couplers and I want to use it for homebrew. So my...

I made the unfortunate decision of starting with an Oktoberfest lager for my first homebrew. I also did not read this forum before making it. I used the brewer's best German Oktoberfest kit and only pitched one packet of dry yeast. The instructions said to just dump the yeast into the wort and...

Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been drinking beer since 2000, but didn't really try good beer until about 3 years ago. I grew up in St. Louis, so if you didn't drink bud or bud light you were considered an outcast. I moved to Orlando for grad school and became friends with a colleague...
