Excellent. Thanks!

Ok. I figured it would be fine, but I just wanted to make sure.

I just started my first yeast starter and wasn't paying attention to the instructions and added likes 1/4 oz of yeast nutrient to the DME. Then I realized I only needed to add a "pinch" So, am I fine? Or should I just boil a new starter for the yeast while its cooling down?

Figured I'd update. Kegged last Saturday and drank my first couple pints today. It turned out pretty good, but has room for improvement. I think my fermentation temp was a bit too high for the first few days 73-78. I had to wrap the carboy in a wet towel and blow a fan on it to keep the...

No. It's a commercial keg

14 psi and a perfect pour. We'll see if it continues!

Ok. I wasn't able to stop at the beer store today. I upped the pressure to 14 psi, and have been letting it settle for a bit. I'll pour a beer in an hour or so and see what happens. If I have no luck, I'll call ballast point tomorrow.

Ok so after letting it sit all night and all day I come home to this. It just seems like it shouldn't do that. Leak possibly? Or just not enough carbonation?

Fair enough. I'll do some digging and see if I can find out. The beer store I got it from has some on tap as well, so ill stop in there and see what they are doing and make adjustments based on differences. If that doesn't help, I'll email ballast point

Hmm. Well, I see bubbles forming in the beer line. Not sure why. Te carbonation is perfect, it's just pouring terribly. I'm dispensing a ballast point sculpin IPA...very tasty

After upping to 12 psi and waiting an hour I get half beer half foam. Are there supposed to be bubbles showing in the beer line?

Hmm. I'll try that for my next pour.

It poors the same every time.

Hmm. The temp changes from 38ish to 41ish ( crappy temp controller). Pressure is set to 10 psi. I purposefully got 10' of beer line so I could cut off excess if need be. Regardless, it's WAY better than the 5' of 5/16 that came with the kegorater. I tried one of the calculators on here...

I'll give that w whirl.
