Hi all. This beer was dry hopped for a week. Hops went in with no bag. Cold crashed for a few days and I was left with this. Is it an infection or leftover hops residue? It didnt look cloudy before dry hopping after 3 weeks in primary. No secondary. Thanks!

I have a torpedo keg that I used for the first time for a stout and I just finished off the keg. The whole time I had it in the keg (2-3 months) the beer had a metallic taste to it. After cleaning out the keg and sticking my nose inside, I smelled very strongly the same metallic smell. If I can...

Cool thanks. 10 psi my lines are 10' long. How many oz of beer dpes that hold and would the beer in the lines taste flat?

I made two beers an edmund fitzgerald clone and a similar porter with less hops and more chocolate malt. Both beers coming out of secondary tasted great and the ef clone tasted a lot like it should. So I kegged (new kegs and new expensive lines) and set it and forget it for a week. Ive been...

Are the wyeast smack pack and white labs vials a good amount of yeast for 2.5 gallon batches. I didnt reach final gravity for my last two beers by quite a bit and im tasting some yeasty and green beer off flavors. Both beers are porters and I mashed around 150-153. I fermented both in ferm...

I purged, but still worried about oxidation with the leak. Hopefully it will hold at a lower pressure if there's a leak. I pressurized the kegs outside the fridge (they were cold) and then put the kegs and tank and everything inside the fridge. I left all the valves open but i've not...

Thanks. I'll do all those things. Cheers!

Yea this morning I set it at 10 again. I did it quickly but i watched the gauge for 10-15 seconds and it appeared to be holding. My tank is low so I'll check that to be sure. Follow up question: when I had my kegs connected for awhile, I could hear a very low hiss. Is this CO2 entering the...

Hello All, I am new to kegging and kegged two brews last night. I set them to 10 psi overnight and when I went to bed everything seemed to be holding fine but when I woke up the pressure gauge was at zero. As far as troubleshooting: CO2 was definitely getting in the keg because I purged...

I'm setting up a kegging system and buying new beer lines. I'm looking at two products, one PVC line which has reviews complaining of a plastic taste and the other PVC free, antimicrobial line. I'd like to buy quality beer lines but is the 2nd product worth the extra price in this case...

OG was 1.059 - Fermentation was 64-65 in a ferm chamber. If anything the mash temperatures were a little lower (151-152) Temperatures varied throughout the kettle but didnt lose a lot of heat throughout the hour.

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=248008 This is the recipe. Mashed at 152-153. Beer was in primary for almost 3 weeks at 153-154 degrees and I moved to secondary where I took the first FG reading. Will the gravity change at all after moving to secondary?

I took the final gravity of my beer which was a porter and came in at 1.024. The expected FG is 1.014. But I took the sample from the bottom of the carboy and there was definitely some trub mixed in with my sample. Could the mixed in trub have affected the final gravity and could it have been...

Here you go.

I'm new to kegging and bought a 2.5 gallon torpedo keg. I'm kegging in a week or two and started looking more closely at the process. My torpedo keg has an oval lid and on the top of the lid it says "do not remove lid". I'm kind of confused, since the morebeer.com pictures show it as a circular...
