Hello All. I've brewed a few batches so far all have been used with extracts and steeping grains. So far so good, each one tastes pretty good except for one thing that has remained consistent throughout each brew. They all seem to have more of a malty taste and leave a syrupy texture in my...

The person I would be getting this from is a buddy who has told me that it has been used a few times without issue. He let me know I could take a look/try it out before I buy it. Since I have never kegged before or set something like this up, what should I be looking for?

These chart couldn't be more perfect at this point. Thanks!

I was hoping someone could take a look at this brew I put together. This would be the first one I have ever built from scratch so I was hoping someone would be able to give me some feedback.Things I'm looking for are things like "will this actually taste good or not?" and if the recipe will...
