Anyone experienced haziness-cloudiness caused by this technique? Beer was clear then turned very cloudy after dry hopping in keg.

Ok, so had kegged and primed with corn sugar then let sit for two weeks. Then I placed in keg fridge and let it sit for one week. Yesterday I put a small bag of hops in the keg and applied CO2 to finish up carbing the beer. Had a glass after all this and enjoyed clear yummy beer. Today I poured...

Okay I have kegged lagered and force carbed for the best part of a week. .. tried the beer last night. . Has butter Scotch written all over it. .. think it would be a great beer if not for the diacetyl. Its sorachi pils all grain. Anyway. . What's my best bet to get rid of this flaw? I have...

Hey froth heads, I'm am Aussie addicted to American style ales and ipa. (actually I'm presently drinking green flash palate wrecker which I found here in Melbourne!). I have been brewing ag in a bag and kegging with force carb. However, I haven't yet dry hopped. My next brew is a Pliny the elder...

Ok, just when I thought I had my kegging set up and I read about resistance and it's importance. I have a simple setup with 6kg cylinder and regulator. About four foot of beer to ball lock and keg out through about four foot of beer line to simple faucet. How do I balance this?!

New to kegging. Got my first keg in the kegerator unprimed. Started it on 20psi for 24 hours and dropped it to 15psi. Going to leave it for 2 days then drop it to 12 for five days. It's cold and I have gently moving the fluid around. Sound good? Also, I plan to start priming some kegs as I only...

Ok, just bought 4 corny kegs fridge with inbuilt door tap and co2 tank with reg. New to kegging. Am I best to do secondary ferment in kegs or force carbonate? How long before I can drink? I have a couple of brews ready in primary fermenters. Is cleaning the corney keg just a matter of swishing...

I'm pumped. Picking up 4 19 L kegs and fridge with built-in tap, 6kg CO2 cylinder and everything required for kegging (supposedly) this Wednesday. God bless eBay. Been bottling for a while and know that ales improve with bottle conditioning. How does it work with kegging? After primary ferment...

Why do you have to transfer the wort to another container to reduce the temperature (overnight) before transferring to fermenter and pitching yeast? Can you just pour into fermenter, close lid, wait for desired temp, open and pitch? Had a spillage disaster yesterday with the former method, mAde...

I am currently lautering through my cooler tun and the wort is deep brown. I thought it was meant to be clearer. Maybe my manifold didn't sieve enough. What do you think?

Doing first ag tomoro. My brew pot does not have a tap. How do people transfer the hopped wort to the fermentor in this case? I have been told pouring stirs it up too much and gives too much trub.

I have a home made cooler mash/lauter tun, 30 liter fermentor, 30L plus pot and 20L plus pot, hydrometer and thermometer. I have been researching and reading for a few weeks and can't wait to put on an ag. I plan to use ice bath for chiller and will buy ingredients from a good brew store. Maybe...

Hi guys setting up for first ag brew. Have built my cooler lauter tun manifold using PVC that's meant to withstand hot water. I'm in Australia and the plumbing store guys had not heard of cpvc so I guess that's an American term. Obviously metal would be better but do you think my PVC manifold...

Hi, I'm in Australia setting up for first brew. Made the lauter tun today. I'd like to brew an American pale ale style beer and would love some input on simple and readily available malt barley and hops to use. I'd like a high alcohol and high balanced hop profile without overkill on the...
