Guys So I finally Kegged my Pale Ale and my Stout I made about a month ago. I had no issues with the fermentation as I kept them in a control temp room at 68 degree. I do remember when I cleaned both my secondary fermenters for both beers seeing a lot of foam on top of the beer the same was...

gwapogorilla No this is new grain...well new to me from my local brew store I am assuming it's not too old. I am using them for the first time so I don't know if the are crushing the grains differently than my other local brew store that I used in the past.

Brewcrewkevin Sorry for the double post I was using my stupid phone while my 3 and 4 year old were claiming all over me. I just noticed it posted it twice.

Yeah I carb for 5 days before switching to nitrogen...the only thing I am thinking the problem might be is that I am using a CO2 regulator with a converter to plug in to nitrogen tank..maybe the problem is that the co2 regulator is not using all the preasure as a nitrogent regulator would

I was looking at the label on the tank and it says (compressed gas NOS 2.2 - nitrogen, carbon dioxide. When I look up compressed gas NOS 2.2 it tells me that is a blend of 75% nitrogen and 25% CO2. I also check to see if I had the white plastic flow in my stout and everything is there..I must...

i tried at 35psi then 20 then 15 all the way down to 5 and all of the it was just like CO2.

i think you are right Cyprus

Yeah i have the stout faucet made for Guiness with the 4 hole plate

So i just went to a local company that sells all kinds of different types of gasses and I asked for beer gas..the guy came out with a CO2 tank so i told him no i already have that i need beer gas is a mix of nitrogent and C02 so he asked me what i was trying to do so i told him i need if for a...

Hmmm good idea..I will try that..thx

So I have a problem, a few weeks ago I made my first fruit beer a coconut stout. My problem is that I used shredded coconut in my secondary and I am having a tough time moving it from the secondary to my keg..the hose keeps getting clogged with the floating coconuts..any idea.?

it looked flat..not movement nothing..but the next day there was a lot of action inside the carboy...today its all done fermenting..so far is coming out pretty good..but i do have to admint i have never seen anything like it...

so i just made my stout 5 hours ago and my airlock its going nuts..a lot of action in the airlock but nothing happening inside my fermenter that i can see. The airlock its going as fast as i ever seen it but no action inside the tank...anybody every see this before?

Missing do you use it from the begining? what about when is fermenting doesnt it blow it right off?

I just made a yeast started and just realized i didnt have an airlock for it so i am using tin foil. Is this ok for a yeast started? I have never used tin foil for a yeast started but my LHB shop is closed for the weekend and i have no choice now.

Hmmm is funny you mention WLP001. My next recipe calls for WLP001 for a stout beer. I hope it comes out good.

I dont really have much control of my temps, I have a big closet where i ferment my beers and depending the time of the year it can be anywhere from 55 to 65 degress. i try to brew lagers in the winter and Ales in the spring or fall.
