I talked to the folks at Midwest brewing and they said at room temp to crank it up to around 40 psi (way up from my original 21 psi and to keep it there which means when the pressure drops to put more co2 on it to get back up to 40.. He said at room temp and 40 psi it should take 3-4 days to...

I do have a dual kegging system and I went from 18 back up to 21 last night, but I checked it this morning and it's back down to around 15psi..

I just kegged my first beer and i pressurized it to 21 psi because I am carbonating it at room temp. Anyway, it seems my pressure has dropped to 18 psi and there doesn't seem to be any leaks in the keg. Is this normal? If so, do I add more co2 to try get it back up to 21 psi?

I let it ferment two weeks in primary and two weeks in secondary.. I did however skip the step of measuring the fg so this could have been my mistake

Few months ago I made my first chocolate stout via a recipe on HBT and everything seemed fine except when I bottled them, a few exploded. I had two explode in the box they were conditioning in and one explode in a 6 pack carrying case in the floorboard of my car, between my legs (that was...

M going to be traveling to Cleveland for work in a few weeks and just wondering if there are any good bars or beer stores in that area

Am pretty new to home brewing and have run into the problem of not having much carbonation in my beer. It tastes Good, but a tad flat; and the head in the beer is basically non-existent. One of the batches I made was from a kit, the other two were recipes I found on home brew talk. I used an 8oz...

Any one know of a good place to get different bottle caps? I have seen several websites that have the different colored, American flag, and also plain generic black caps. I was wanting something like sports team caps (e.g Tennessee volunteers for tailgating during football season) or just...
