From Derry... Not that far

I'm going to try to bump it up to 10psi. My line is maybe 3 ft at most. I think my cheap regulator is the issue. I set it but it won't refill the head space on its own. I have to take it back up to 7 until it drops to 0. So I'll adjust it to 10 and see if it works.

The only time I changed it was from 30psi when I carbonated it to 5 to drink. When I pour a beer it won't maintain the psi. The psi drops and won't go back up unless I mess with the dial and take it back up manually. From the Co2 tables I looked at 5-7 psi is where I want to keep it for the...

Keg carbonated perfect. I set the regulator to 5psi and pours fine. After 2 or 3 it slows down and the pressure drops to zero so I have to mess with the dial until it gets right again. I did get the cheapest kit off eBay.... Is it a bad regulator? There are no leaks and will hold a consistent...

70, I used a converter

Do you have to use the test cylinder that they come with? I just finished a strong ale with 20.25lb of grain and my OG is showing as 1.064, should be closer to 1.092 with 70% efficiency. I broke my test cylinder that I always use with my hydrometer so I found a glass that was similar in height...

I mashed at 152.5 for 60min. I was just thinking that maybe my efficiency is not that bad my hydrometer just reads low.

I did my second AG brew and have a question. I brewed on Saturday (Blue Moon Clone) and it was fermenting fine showing a good amount of action. I used coopers dry yeast and if was fermenting at 65-66F. I did not see any action today, so because my first AG did not work out so well I took a...

That's what I was thinking. And yeah it tastes like watered down strong coffee with some hops in it. Guess I learned my lesson. Sucks I got to dump my first AG but glad I got set strait so it won't happen again

I did my first AG about 3 weeks ago. 6lb chocolate wheat and 4lb pilsner. OG was 1.042. Fermentation started strong for about 72 hours and then slowed down to almost nothing. I didn’t get to excited until it stopped completely, at FG 1.022. I re-pitched the same yeast, Nottingham(not the 11/2012...

I am new to all grain so I was trying to use all the technology I could for help. I was using the following programs: Brewmate for PC Sparge Pal for Iphone Brew Pal for Iphone Each one told me a different efficiency for my mash. My recipe was a simple wheat that I substituted with...
