    Straight-A in used corny keg

    Straight-A is a cleaner though isn't it? I plan to use iodophor as my sanitizer. Not sure if I'm correct since I'm so new at this, but I thought that was right.

    Straight-A in used corny keg

    Just picked up a used corny keg and plan to replace the O-rings and fill the keg up with a straight-a solution. If I leave this overnight followed by sanitizing with iodophor will this do the trick? I've read most people use PBW or oxy clean but I don't have either of those yet. Thanks

    Too much priming sugar, but barely carbonated?

    If I kegged this beer would that fix my problem?

    Too much priming sugar, but barely carbonated?

    should I let them ferment in the colder temp until they reach a decent level of carbonation and then toss them in the fridge?

    Too much priming sugar, but barely carbonated?

    So I made a big mistake and didn't realize it until now. I tried a bottle of my oatmeal stout (now 2 weeks since bottling) and its not very carbonated yet. I looked back at the directions and I put 3/4 of a pound of corn sugar in to prime instead of 3/4 of a cup. Any suggestions? I suppose I...

    Possible Infection? In primary less than 24 hours

    Is that what yeast looks like when it begins to ferment? And thanks for the response I appreciate it! I'll keep it closed until its done :drunk: Thanks everyone. I didn't take too long to fall into the foolish noob category it seems!

    Possible Infection? In primary less than 24 hours

    Took a look at my wort (couldn't help it) and saw these white spots on the surface. It hasn't started fermenting yet and has only been in primary less than 24 hours, but I was wondering what this is/what I may need to do about it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    Do I need to keep my carboy in the dark for this brew? I've read that hops are the primary reason to keep your beer away from any UV light, but how about Apfelwein? Just put this batch together, its going to be a long 4 weeks!
