    Beer carbed. Too Sweet. Hops in the keg after carbonation?

    ******* i love it when the exact idea i had in mind was already a thread here on hbt. I got an arrogant bastard clone that finished a little too high for my taste. Im thinking 1 oz of chinook boiled hop tea, and an ounce for dry hop in the keg.

    Inspecting co2 tanks and regulators.

    I've got a line on a used 40lb tank with a dual body regulator for $200 total. Pretty good deal right? Its apparently fairly old, was used on a food cart, was last used about 3 years ago, but supposedly works fine. How can I test or inspect it when I go over to check it out before I buy it...

    RIS, bottled, not carbonating.

    I opened up another bottle yesterday, it was about the same, i.e. not carbonated at all. I bought some EC-1118 from the LHBS today. The owner said she used it on some bottles of cider and just sprinkled a little in each bottle with her fingers, as opposed to hydrating and dropper-ing. I want to...

    RIS, bottled, not carbonating.

    I just read about how refrigeration affects carbonation, interesting. I will definitely let the next bottle I try sit in the fridge for longer. I figured most people would say to just keep waiting :) Rahahb: what is that a picture of? clickondan: Thanks for the suggestion. What other...

    RIS, bottled, not carbonating.

    I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout (extract, 4.5 gal finishing volume) the middle of December, OG=1.109, FG=1.030. I added about 400ml of bourbon to it in the secondary. I decided to use 1/3 cup of molasses as the priming sugar when I bottled it on January 18th. Bottle are conditioning inside the...
