My keezer temperature is not regulated yet so I am force carbing my beer (with the set and forget method) at room temperature (70 degrees) and will later cool the beer. My question is, what temperature should I use to gauge how much psi to apply during force carbonation? 70 degrees or 40...

I've been fermenting a poorly boiled brown ale for over 1.5 years and finally kegged it. I didn't have hopes that it would actually taste good however I want to make sure there is no potential for physical illness. Any ideas about this?

I have been using Oxyclean to clean my fermenting bucket, corny kegs and tubing after every use. Is this too frequent? Are there any health issues to worry about?

Does anyone know how to sanitize the dip tube in a corny keg without using gas? This is my first time kegging. I haven't filled my Co2 tank yet but want to get my brew out of the fermenter and into my keg so I can start a new batch. The only problem is I'm afraid if I don't get my dip...

Newbie here with several questions: 1. What is the benefit of a BoilerMaker vs a Stainless Kettle. There must be something significant that I'm missing seeing as how the price variance is absurd! 2. I am using malt extract as opposed to all grain brewing right now and am slowly building...

I've got a sub-par stove in my apartment that is not capable of boiling 5 gallons of liquid. I am now looking to buy a burner that can: 1. Bring large volumes of liquid to a boil as quickly as possible. 2. Be used indoors without significant risk of burning my apartment to the ground...
