Hi i transferred from primary bucket to the corny keg. Did not cold crash before kegging. I siphoned carefully to avoid taking in too much sediment but there was some transfer of trub. I plan to let a sit for a few more days and draw off another pint or two.

My rye IPA has been under slow carbonation in corni keg for 12 days. Tried it today and taste pretty good but cloudy and good amount of particulates in my glass. Suggestions comments welcome. Cheers!

My drip tray didn't come with screws. What is best to install it on stainless steel fridge door? Sheet metal screw or drill screws?

You we're absolutely correct. The beer was up too high and was getting into the tip tube. I removed enough to lower it below the stem and everything seems to be working okay now. The gas has been on for about 2 weeks with a slow carbonation. I tried it last night and the oatmeal stout still...

Many thanks. I mistakenly said in my message "gas in the line" but meant beer in the gas line. But I think all figured out what I meant. My next step will be to clean out the gas line, reconnect and set the psi and start to carbonate. Cheers.:cask::mug:

I am fairly new to kegging & the first two times I did not have problems. Yesterday I did something different and filled the keg and sealed it and hooked the gas line up but did not turn on the gas. Then i put it all in the refrigerator to get it to a cooler temperature. This morning I see that...

My first pour I pitched the first glass. Since then I've had 4 or 5 pints. Tasted pretty smooth and was happy with it. Then I went 1 week and starting drinking again. To my surprise it now is bitter. Could the cause be oxidation?

I miss quoted. It was a chocolate stout. I used a deck Hand stout All Grain recipe and chocolate nibs were added. Wyeast 1084 Irish ale . Fermentation temp was 68-70

I tapped my chocolate porter about two weeks ago. Tasted pretty good and was happy with it but decided to give it about one more week. After another week I tasted it again and now it has a bitter flavor and aftertaste. What may have gone wrong?

I have been brewing beer for 25 years. Mostly from kits. It's a fun hobby and I would like to try wine making. Any suggestions on where I should begin? How much of my beer equipment can I use? (I use buckets and not carboys) I would like to use fresh fruit if possible, but willing to start...

I have installed Johnson control on my freezer to now do lagering. I have Brewer’s Best Kolsch Kit with Nott yeast. Is it worth the effort to lager or just go with the suggested instructions which are designed for an ale? I’ve seen several posts on this but can’t find a definitive answer on...
