In I probably had a gallon in a batch. I'm fairly new to begin with, but just added a brewjacket to my conical and with it came a permanent blow off tube (no airlock as it covers that hole). I forgot to remove this as I was kegging and wondered about 1/3 way through why the level in the conical...

I usually do a 20 minute steep as that's what all my initial instructions from kits had said. And usually seems to be part of all the other recipes I have tried as well

I'm going to assume that the search on mobile isn't great, and this has been answered. When should I add this? I bought it to hopefully cut down on my krausen asked it's been rather vigorous and I'm loosing potential beer because of it. Something to put during boil (and help with boil...

Thanks for the information and your time on this post. I'll take a good look for those. I have been in communication with my LHBS and will be going in Saturday if I can't get the problem solved by then.

I'm at a loss as to the proper terminology of the following pieces are, but hopefully I'll make it clear enough. I disassembled the shanks to a degree to check for differences, and I did find one. The spacer ring on the leaking side appears thicker (or maybe not as tightly put in on assembly)...

More photos attached. O ring is in place. It is a 2 tap setup and I swapped them to trouble shoot. But only the left leaks. Everything else appears in identical shape. I have contacted where I bought it from. Just looking for additional support / information. I don't expect to hear from them...

I did use the faucet wrench. Everything was tight by hand as I could get it. As everything was new everything still looks cleared

I've just bought a brand new tower assembly and have noticed add an on and off leak at the joint for the tap. I've tried tightening all the pieces and it still leaks. Should I consider putting some thread tape on? All the washers and seals look fine. Maybe keg lube might help? Kind of at a...

From what I've gathered on this is it will just be a darker colour then you might be expecting

I haven't been dealing with my local shop long (as I haven't been brewing long), I do know that they don't deal in kits, unsure how they are about having recipes on hand. And unfortunately shipping and exchange rate kills that online site being from Canada

I have done a dry Irish stout kit. It turned out alright. Under carbonated but that was my fault. I'm also having a problem searching for recipes and I'm not sure why. Now I'm looking for a stout style I'd prefer. I do like oatmeal stout (st ambroise is probably one of my favourite), but I'm...

Just an update on the type of yeast. It was Safbrew BE-256 I'll be kegging this today, so I'll probably keep it anyways since most of the packaging for it is already done for me

Yeah I plan on keeping more. I have my other 3 kit recipes intact, this one seems to have vanished. I have reached out to them to get more information

Unfortunately I can't find the instructions to this kit, and I cannot find the ingredients listed online. It is a Belgian dubbel and it was a dry yeast pack (I did rehydrate it). This was my 4th kit from them and the other 3 were us-05 and I know this was different. I know when I found it...

Thanks for the information. Not sure I'll keep this particular batch as it was a high abv and it did get a little on the warm side one day (after fermentation was complete thankfully). So I'm sure they're a little stressed. Was mostly seeing if it would be what I should be looking for
