Hey I know there are already a lot of posts about foaming but I've got some symptoms I'm not sure what to do about. My beer is pouring about a 5th of a glass of beer to 4/5th foam right now. I have my keg set up with 5 feet of beer line and the line is coiled nicely on top of the keg. My...

Hey I know I should be more patient, but I found out I'm hosting a party tonight and really wanted to have beer ready. I racked it into the keg today at room temp and hooked it up to 40psi and rolled it around on the ground for 10 or 15 minutes letting co2 in. Then I popped it in my kegerator...

Thanks for the fast replies. What I'm hearing is if I leave it for 3 weeks in primary and then carbonate by the time carbonation is done the beer should be ready to drink. Is that correct?

I've been glued to this forum for the past 6 hours seeing as I'm about to keg a batch of beer for the first time. I've read all about the two types of force carbonating and how long they take. I've also read that carbonating time counts as conditioning time. What I haven't been able to find...

Thanks! I've been reading a lot on this forum about conditioning time. Can you just clarify for me if I leave my beer in primary for 3 weeks and then transfer to the keg how long should I let it sit in the keg before its ready to drink and should I carb it before or after letting it sit? Can I...

Thanks for the replies. I'll take a hydrometer reading. The reason I didn't is because I did the first time and the reading was the same before and after but the beer obviously fermented. Do hydrometers break or did I do it wrong? You BryceL said let it sit for a couple weeks. Should I...

I'm pretty new to brewing. I've done two kits that come in the cans before, and I want to get down the process of fermenting before I start making my own wort, so I'm trying a Festa Brew kit right now that comes as a liquid bag. The first two batches I did went nuts in the primary fermenter...

Hey, My kegerator kit just arrived and I'm super excited. I picked up a used magic chef wine chiller a while back and have been keeping beer in it, but even turned to its coldest setting the beer isn't as cold as I'd like it. The compressor it only running part of the time so I believe the...

I'm looking to buy a good quality 2 faucet kegerator. I live in Winnipeg, but would be willing to pay to have it shipped here if its what I'm looking for. I have a fridge lying around too so if you just have the hardware I would also be interested.

Hey not sure if you got my pm. I know I live in Canada but I'm willing to pay the shipping on it whatever it is. Could you look up shipping to Winnipeg Manitoba R3N 1Z1?

Interested if still for sale. I pm'd you.
