Thanks guys, yeah I'll try chilling my bottles ahead of time and see if that helps. I originally was using the recommended 10ft of line but thought maybe it was stripping too much CO2 as beer travelled to bottle. How much do people recommend over carbing? Currently I leave my keg sit on gas set...

Hi guys, I'm currently having problems bottling beer with my beer gun and it staying carbonated after the first day. Any suggestions? I've reduced the length of hose to 5 ft; tried to chill bottles to keg temp; purge with about 20psi and am only using about 3-5psi to dispense. cheers!

It's funny...I was digging through what I had left for specialty grains and this recipe fits what I have left so perfectly. Most likely gonna give this one a go this up coming week. Just have to rack off an IPA first and then use the yeast cake. Hope it turns out.

sweet guys thanks a lot for the input. I read somewhere about the foam helping to get into all the nooks and crevices certain bottles have too. I'll continue doing what I'm doing then.

Hi everyone, just have a couple question about about using Star San. I find that it foams up quite a bit and its hard to remove/drain it from my equipment. Currently I swish my carboys with the solution and leave them upside down in a milk crates. I use a bottle plunger-type sprayer and hang...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and to brewing actually, but after several batches I'm definitely turning into a beer-obsessed geek. So far every batch has been with the brewers best extract kits, but I'm beginning to think about trying either partial mash or all grain brewing. Is there anything that...
