marvel super hero squad and any of the lego games is what me and kid play. (Batman, star wars, indiana jones, harry potter) Then there's the whole skylanders thing, but that's a whole nuther money pit

It might also already be over carbed. Remember, if you are getting nothing but foam/head, that's co2 coming out of solution, of course what's left will be flat. I'd pull it off the gas, vent it, then leave it in the kegerator for a day and try it. I've only done the shake thing once and have...

You want to vent it after you make the adjustment too. Many things will affect pressure, such as temp changes. 1 psi is not that bad. You have to remember that you probably had the keg at 15 psi. Just because you vent it doesnt mean that the liquids co2 solubility has changed immediately. It...

No not broken, and sure it will. You must release pressure on keg for regulator to adjust properly, otherwise it will read the pressure you applied/or is left at the keg/line. If you put a blanket of co2 on the keg at 15psi, then that's what it will show. Eventually some of the co2 will go into...

Exactly how are you carbing your other beers. I can't imagine much (quick) success if you keep taking the co2 off the keg. Now if you fully carb the beer with co2 connected for say 3-4 weeks at the correct psi for temp, then take it off co2, you'll be fine. Like I said once the beer reaches...

+1, Exactly it sounds like what the posters above have stated. I bet you are taking it off the gas. Until your beer reaches an equilibrium its gonna keep absorbing the co2 and your keg pressure will drop.

Sorry, but you're gonna be at same dilemna if you keep upping psi every time. Just leave it be at 10-14psi and wait a few weeks for it to stabilize, maybe even a month.

REALLY??? one label type and only 1 design. I believe he's looking to make them more custom than just labeling a growler as homebrew. Otherwise why label them at all? Now if they allowed you to submit or create designs with custom text that'd be great.

just look at the similiar threads box down below :)

that's because I dont believe its a huge science to it. I bring my fermenter down to 30-32F for a week or more and then keg. I usually cold crash after 2 weeks of fermentation or after the hydrometer says so.

It doesn't taste carbonated because all the foam indicates you've lost carbonation in the pour. Listen to Bobby M, make your you get 3/16" line not 1/4" line.

Yeah, you just need a liquid disconnect mounted at the end of a gas connection. I would de pressurize the keg before doing this. You dont want any liquid coming up the gas line.. If you're using threaded disconnects this should be easy must swapping.

I have a 3ft line with 2 epoxy mixers inserted in it. I used the "We dont need no stinking beer gun " technique and the bottles were room temp at 10 psi. With the 2 expoxy mixers in the line, the beer just trickles and no foam. I've tried bottling from long lines without the mixers at lower psi...

Well if you are just going for the cosmetics, I know some folks add 1 tablespoon of flour to the boil at 5min left. This will keep the whole keg hazy. However you mention its more about the yeast. My only recommendation is drink it young. Some will settle quite a bit after 3 weeks. I've had some...

I keg 11g batches to fill 5 and 3g kegs. I brew primarily in the fall/winter. I brew enough to last all year. I hate brewing when flies are at there peak. The point I'm trying to make is there is nothing wrong with stocking up. H-ost has a good point , you should keg and bottle. It will allow...
