Haha no worries, I've been drinking too much all season as a niners fan :mad: Edit: props for the drunk txt links. Way to be committed! And the last line "which are you are..." hahaclassic!

Welp, seems to have went off without a hitch. Sooo much nicer than bottling and having to keep all of them around. Of course I poured half a glass after about 10 mins of force carbing. Needless to say, it was still flat. Decided to turn it down to 3 ish psi and let it sit for a week or two...

I'm about to keg for the first time. I think I've got my plan together thanks to everyone here contributing. Than you guys! Was just wondering if there were any tips or tricks from the vets that wanted to share. It's raining outside. Football is on. And I'm gonna keg my first Russian...

Anyone have a link to a recommended stout faucet setup? I can't find one I want to pull the trigger on... partly because I'm cheap but learning I probably shouldn't be on this... thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick replies. I can't wait to return the favor!

What do I need to order to connect gas and liquid lines to the ball locl keg? I can't seem to find the name.

What are keg poppets and do I need one to connect the gas lines and liquid lines to my keg? I'm going to piece together my first keg nitro set shortly. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

10 days in primary. I figure it's still young yet but the recipe said 10-20 days. Just wanting confirmation I'm on the right path I guess! Am getting a little excited...

Hi, took a couple years off brewing extract. Now starting again with a Russian Imperial Stout. Have a couple questions if you don't mind... OG is supposed to be around 1.092. Mine was 1.082. It's been 10 days and now it's at 1.018. When I saw that I was thrilled but then I tasted it and don't...

Per the BF calculator beer came out with 83% yeast attenuation at 6.69% with a final gravity of 1.01. Smells good. Tastes good. It almost has a dry champagne smell at parts if you take a big long smell. Is this because of the fermentation temp fluctuations? I'm gonna wait two weeks before trying...

Ok thanks. Bung comes out when I pull on airlock or blow off hose. Didn't seem right but whatever works I guess...I'll look for a bigger one. I'm hoping to brew this weekend or beginning of next week. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Fermometer says 75F. Thanks for the info. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks for the heads up. That water was nasty! Next time I will use a separate bucket with starsan. This was my first time using a blow off and I did it kind of hastily. The airlock is back on it. I'm giving the bucket a bath in some smell good bath stuff. Is the top of the bung not suppose to...

Just took a sample reading. Gravity is at 1.012. Starting was 1.062. My starting was just below the low end per the kit instructions. Im sure I can make improvements in my process and cooling procedures which could help me get into the higher end of the OG. I'm Gonna check again in 2 days. Will...

Hello, was wondering what a good beer (kit) was for hot summer temps. I can control my temps effectively at this point between 66F and 72f. Being honest it'll prob run towards the hotter of that (so not sure how effective that really is yet...). I'm looking to brew my third kit in about 2 weeks...
