    Too Much Priming Sugar in Keg

    I thought you needed as much priming sugar for kegging as you do in bottling and just found out that my keg will be way over carbonated If i pull the relief valve on the keg everday to let out some CO2 will it carbonate to the proper levels?

    How much priming sugar in keg?

    i didnt realize putting the same amount of priming sugar in a keg as you would in a bottle will over carbonate it is there any way to fix this? If i just depessurize the keg everyday will for a week will it get me back to normal carbonation levels?

    Kegged Homebrew and BMC longevity

    How come a keg that has bud light or coors start to go bad after a month but a kegged homebrew can last up to a year? does it have to do with the beer being pastuerized?

    First Timer here - Does this look right?

    if you have a blow off tube and all that krausen comes out wouldn't that effect the taste of beer or would the beer taste the same as if the krausen stayed in the fermenter?

    Boil too Vigorous!

    I think we boiled our wort too vigorously cuz when we put it in our fermentation bucket we only had 2 gallons and had to top off with three gallons of water Will this make my beer to watery?...or will not matter cuz sugar doesn't boil off?
