    How do I ship two cases of beer?

    Yes, I did read that before posting. I was specifically asking for advice on shipping two full cases of beer. Of course I could wrap each bottle in bubble wrap and put a handful in each box (like I have done many times before). I was hoping someone might have shipped a full case before and...

    How do I ship two cases of beer?

    I need to ship two cases of beer (48x 12oz bottles) from California to Texas. Has anyone else done such a large shipment? I could bubble wrap each individual bottle like I have in the past, but then I would end up with several heavy boxes (i.e. expensive). Anyone have any suggestions?

    My beer will not carbonate!

    I did think about this. The keg is quite full, but there's still at least 3 inches between the lid and the surface of the beer. And even if the head space was too small, it would just carbonate slower, right? This keg has been under 12-20 psi for over 2 weeks now, and the beer is still flat.

    My beer will not carbonate!

    I know my equipment is good. I have several other beers on tap right now that carbonated in the same setup. I have sprayed all connections for leaks. Plus, the tank gauge on my CO2 cylinder (i.e. the one that indicates how much CO2 is left in the tank) is not dropping. When I dispense the...

    My beer will not carbonate!

    Wait, if you use too high of a pressure, the beer won't absorb any CO2 ?!?!?! I thought over-carbonating would just result in an overly fizzy beer, not a totally flat one. And I don't understand your "balancing" comment. This keg of Pils is the only thing connected to my CO2 tank. If the...

    My beer will not carbonate!

    I brewed a German Pils that is now sitting in a keg trying to carbonate. I had it sitting under about 12psi (at about 36 degrees) for a couple of weeks. When I went to taste it, it was almost completely flat. Confused, I cranked up the pressure to 20psi for another 3 days. Again, it's...

    How do you keep the gunk out of the fermenter?

    I tend to brew beers with a lot of hops and I always use pellets. After chilling in the BK, the last 1-2 gallons of wort is loaded with hop matter and break material. I even use a Jamil-style whirlpool wort chiller and I still have a hard time not throwing away a crap load of potential beer...

    Kegerator Help

    To build my kegerator, I bought a fridge off of Craigslist and then bought a kegerator conversion kit from Beverage Factory. Like this: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/kits/skk.shtml But you'll want this coupler for Hoegaarden...
