Thanks for the advice. You're right about the most inconvenient time - I discovered it empty Thursday morning and could not get the tank refilled until this morning (Saturday). I assumed I forgot the washer because there was an extra in the box, but there was a washer in place, so I'm not...

So I had a CO2 tank go empty on me, and for a dumb reason (never put washer between tank and regulator). Was force carbing at 30 psi. Kegged in the evening, next morning was around 25 psi, evening around 20 psi, next morning at 0. So... questions! 1. Did my beer carbonate at all in this...

Thanks again for the advice, day_tripper. Yesterday I removed the hop bag, cleared out the dip tube and poppet, which were indeed very gunked up. When I put it all back together, however, it got clogged again just a few ounces in. I had read about people transferring from one keg to another...

Thanks for the reply, day_tripper! When I vent the gas, am I removing all the CO2, or just from the headspace? As I have only been dry-hopping for two days, I'd rather wait to remove the hops, but if that means I will be losing a week (or more) of carbonation time, maybe I'll remove them earlier.

Basic question... I kegged for the first time yesterday, turned my regulator to 11 PSI, and my keg is being kept cool inside my kegerator. I am worried - yes I know RDWHAHB* - that my dip tube might clog, as the siphon didn't go as great as it could (good cold crash, bad mishandling that...

My friend has been pushing me to brew on his system and I have good reason to at least try. I live in an apartment building with no outdoor area to brew in and my electric stove struggles to bring anything more than two gallons to a boil, so I have primarily used the counter-top partial mash...

It's not a homebrew keg - New England Brewing Company Supernaut IPA. I am using the coupler that came with the kegerator. It seemed to fit well, but the handle would not go down without (what proved to be) excessive force.

I recently bought an EdgeStar full-size kegerator (KC2000) and ran into issues tapping the keg. The handle would barely go down - enough to break the seal, but not to lock into place. The video and manual said to wait for a click, definitely no click. Even holding the handle down and leaving...

Thank you for all the quick replies! I did let it come up to room temperature. I put the starter in the fridge Monday night, decanted it Tuesday morning, then left it on the counter (ambient is within a few degrees of my pitching temperature) until Tuesday night.

Long time reader, first time poster... have eight batches under my belt, but still learning... I know it can take a while for bubbling to occur, but is it the same for krausen? Most threads I have read suggest looking for krausen if there is no bubbling - I did and there is none, whatsoever...
