I made a pale ale and it has been on gas for 6 weeks (force carb) and it WILL NOT CARB!!!!! I have a 5 manifold gas distribution system and it is getting gas, because when I pour, it comes out with the same vigor as the rest of the taps. I have changed the gas connections with the other...

thanks- ill look at those links fermented at 61 (+/- 1 degree) for 3 weeks

Just a technique I use for dry hopping: I tie a piece of dental floss to the bag that I drop in the keg - and I tie the other end to the gas/liquid out post and seal like normal. I let it hang a few inches down into the keg. This dry hops it for a few weeks until the liquid drops below the...

6. Divorce wife, buy what ever the hell you want

i would also taste some of the cheaper grain- see if you like the flavor.... i wouldn't get too caught up on efficiency
