I made my first batch a while back and am getting ready to try my second. My first batch overall went well, but it had a weird, some what yeasty after taste. It was an Irish Stout kit that i brewed and i am trying to figure out what i could have possibly done to bring on this after taste so i...

Would a bazooka tube be another option instead of the scrubby?

Ok so basically i need the Keg Weldless Bulkhead Kit including the ball valve and hose barb. That will get me through the keg wall and to a piece of tubing. What do i want to connect to the bulkhead inside the keg, the drain tube? Whats kind should i go with, the center or side draw...
