Thanks a lot for the replies. I will try that. Cheers!

Insanim8er, thanks, yes, you had my process correct. I guess I overfilled the keg. I was thinking about waiting a couple of days in order to get some of the CO2 into the beer at a lower temperature. Any other thoughts to alleviate the beer spraying everywhere from the pressure relief valve?

I forgot to add I may have overfilled the keg a little as my batch came out to be about 5.5 gallons although not all of it went into the keg.

No, I did not have the CO2 hooked up for 3 weeks at 30PSI. I only pressurized to 30PSI to ensure a good seal.

No, it was not shaken or even moved. It had been sitting in my chest freezer at 70 degrees before I dropped the temperature down.

Hi, I am a noob when it comes to kegging. Actually I started last year and have had nothing but problems as I have gone through about four CO2 tanks for four kegs mostly because of leaks. I am starting to get a little dejected over the whole thing. I have read a fair amount on the internet...

Yes Please!:mug:

Hi, I am still relatively new at all of this. I just brewed this a couple of days ago following this recipe. I am a little confused as to when to add the dry hops, at five days into fermenting? After adding the hops wait for 5-7 days then rack to a secondary? I just want to make sure I...

ok thanks for the reply. Should I be waiting for post mash to cool before taking the gravity reading?

Yesterday I was about 5-6 hours using the BIAB process. That seems pretty typical so far.

Hi, I just did my third all-grain yesterday and was hoping to get some input on my process and specifically with the gravity readings I took yesterday since I am totally confused. I am using the BIAB method. I had developed my recipe using Beersmith and used about a gallon less water for the...

Please!

I am still new at all of this and am looking at doing all grain for the first time through the BIAB process. Does milling the grain myself right before the mash create more "freshness" than getting it milled at my local store a day or two before? Thanks!

I am trying to put together a recipe for something similar to the Full Sail Pale Ale. I just recently had it for the first time and really enjoyed the crispness and flavors. In particular I am trying to figure out the hops used. Here is what their website says: "Our Pale Ale has a fresh...

Hi, first time brewer here...will I ever need to add water to the Airlock during fermentation? Also, a couple of drops of water from the airlock got into the carboy when i was tapping the airlock. Maybe I slightly overfilled the airlock? Thanks for any advice.
