ugggh....beer is already in keg conditioning. can I still get some keg lube on at this point?

Whenever I pull the gas off my keg, I notice that if I put some soapy water on the gas in, I can see some bubble coming from the popet. If I press it with my fingernail, it seems to reset itself and all is good. My fear is if this happen when I've kegged and have the gas on. That would mean...

It's only been a week. Next Week will be 2 weeks in primary. My last batch I ended up overcarbing. Only did 30psi for 48 hours, then 10psi for 5 days. Lots and lots of foam. From now on, I'll put it at 10psi and leave it for 2 weeks

OK, so I have pumpkin beer sitting in my primary right now. Next Sunday (7/26), it will get racked the the secondary for 2 weeks. That will take me to 8/9. I would prefer to start drinking this one mid to late September. So, my question is, do I let it sit in the secondary for 5 weeks taking me...

Brewing up a pumpkin ale this weekend. This is an extract recipe with 1lb of specialty grains. Now the receipe says to steep the grains in 2.5 gallons of water until the teperature reaches 170 degrees. First question, are they asking me to put the grains in the cold water and let them sit...

1 oz cluster hops at 60 minutes

Brewing a cream ale this weekend. I will be adding around 1.5 lbs of honey at flameout, but was also going to add around 1 OZ of sweet orange zest with 2 minutes left in the boil. However, my son suggested lemon zest instead of orange, and now it has me considering the switch. Any suggestions???

Strange thing. On Monday I kegged my beer and forced carbed at 30 psi for 48 hours, then down to 10psi until today. This morning I purged the keg a bit and tried it. nice flavor and carb bubbles ever present. Well, This afternoon, I noticed i was getting nearly all foam, so I burped the keg...

Just a thought here. I have several great local breweries in my area that come out with great seasonal brews. Can i bring an empty korny keg to them and have them fill it? Would it stay good for a while? Anyone else ever done this?

OK, I've got a 5 gallon keg thats been carbonating/conditioning for around 5 weeks now (sugar carbed). My question now is pretty simple. Before I put it fridge to chill it, do I "burp" it first? OR do I simply chill it, hook up gas at serving pressure and start drinking with no "burping" (the...

This never happened before. Went to pour my pumpkin ale from keg today. First pour was all gooey, gunk stuff! Next couple cleared up but looked to have alot of floating material. beer tastes great, but is this normal? What happened here?

I have another pumpkin ale that will be getting kegged this coming weekend. For me, pumpkin beers are all about the spice. I like to really taste those spices. Not a hint....I mean I like to know it's got spices in there. My question is, when taste it before kegging/bottling, is it OK to add...

I have a spiced Winter Ale that's been in the secondary for 5 weeks. I picked up a second keg last week and want to move the ale into the keg for conditioning. Do I simply add the sugar to the keg, then rack the beer in and close the keg? Any need to "seal" the lid at this point with co2? I'm...

Is there any problem putting 5/16" line on 1/4" barbed splitters? I'm think that as long as it tightened enough I should be fine, but wanted your thoughts.

OK, maybe a stupid question, but I gotta ask. If I generally use 10psi on my keg and then add 2 more kegs and a co2 splitter. Do I still set the PSI on the co2 tank to to 10 psi to get 10 psi in all three kegs, or do I now set the PSI on the co2 tank to 30 psi (10psi x 3 kegs)?

I've got a Winter Spiced ale sitting in my secondary. Been there 2 weeks, and recipe calls for up to 4 weeks. My question is, being it is still Fall and I'm fresh out of pumpkin ale, I was thinking of brewing up another batch of pumpkin. Problem is, I only have one keg. If i put the Winter ale...

These bottles were n the basement far from any light at all. Not sure what happened here.

Hmm. I think you will be fine. What was wort doing for 3-4 hours? Why so long to cool? Not cleaning kettle is not so bad as its pre boil. 85 degrees pitching is fine, and don't stress sbout the scissors. My concern is the lengthy cool time. My gut says you will be Ok

I personally would not do it. Temps vary to much. Sediment constantly being kicked up. Possible oxygenation. Just my opinion.

I think you will be just fine with blow off tube.
