So long story short after asking advice I nailed my last leg with perfect carbonation. Been having lots of ups and downs. Anyways, on this batch I set at 30 psi for a little over 2 days and already have over carbed beer. What's best way to fix this? I just shut off the gas and purged twice. Keep...

Ok thanks that's great. If I'm correct I'm reading that I need 200 grams for 2 liters. I have the capability for that size starter. I've never done any higher than 1 liter before. When I'm ready to pitch should I have it in fridge and pour out most of top then swish yeast cake around and pitch...

I'm brewing a vanilla coffee imperial stout in 2 days and just broke my smack pack for starter. I'm expecting an o.g of around 1.08. Will a 1 liter starter be sufficient? What ratio dme to water should I use (preferably in cups). Thanks

Took the psylocide's advice and set at 30 psi for about 20 hours and just poured myself a beautifully carbed mango saison. Thanks for all the advice!

Ok thanks. I've done 30psi for a few days then put to serving pressure and had foamy pours before. There has been a possibility of other issues however and I'm in the process of narrowing down. I'm pretty sure it was too cold of temps with too high psi. I'm just trying to make sure it's not a...

There is no chance of over carbing if I leave at 30 for one day? Then purge and set back to 10? Even though been sitting at 10 for almost a week?

Update. The thermometer I had inside keg measured the air and read the correct temp I wanted. After reading old threads I placed a glass full of water in kegerator and checked the next day and it was frozen! Temp was way too cold. I learned the hard way to never rely on air temp. I placed an...

Idk if I missed someone above saying this, but careful with the picnic tap. Many people tend to partially open thinking it will slow the flow of beer. This will create foam no matter how well you have everything balanced. Tap needs to be fully open. I learned this the hard way [emoji28]

I posted last week about setting and forgetting stats for a saison. I kegged the beer last Friday (6days ago) at 36 degrees at 10 psi. Almost a week later there is almost no carbonation whatsoever. I need the beer carbed 8 days from now for my daughters bday party. Should I just relax and it...

Yes I meant 3/16, not sure where I got 3/8. The tower warmth in fine with, issue has been after first beer. On another thread I received a plethora of advice that I'm going to try to remedy. Was curious though if the psi, temp and line length sounded good that I stated above. I too have a hunch...

I'm starting to doubt my regulator as well

Forgot to mention I'm setting and forgetting because I do not want to risk over carbing. Issues are always foam

I've been having foaming/carbonation issues for awhile now and posted a topic on it and not sure if I still have it figured out. Anyways, I have to have a mango saison carbed exactly 2 weeks from now for my daughters birthday party. Beer was already chilled between 35-40. I have 10ft of 3/8 in a...

Perfect, I will check that. I assume it's something dumb like that messing everything up. Thank you everyone for all your helpful ideas. Worst case scenario I serve out of a pitcher again for her bday party.

Ok, that info definitely helps. Won't even bother with the 1/4 line I have. In regards to that $70 perlick, I'm trying to avoid any more noticeable costs. Swmbo is already on my case as it is about the ongoing purchases of equipment.

That's what I thought, thanks. From all the responses I have a few things to test, thanks for all the responses. Back to the drawing board

Ok so setting it at 8 psi will still properly carbonate? I don't fully understand that part yet probably will take longer to carbonate?

I mean, yeah I will try and take the whole thing apart again. Getting frustrated. Thanks for everyone's input though and I will update when I finally diagnose. Was is the absolute lowest psi I can set it though and just forget and have it properly carbed?

For a typical American ale

Yeah, regulator is next thing I'm going to tinker with. What is the lowest psi I could set it and forget and serve at where it would still be well carbed given my stats above?
