My lines are 5th long. What PSI should I roll with?

Its a keezer with a party tap, so everything should be at same temp.

its cold, been sitting on 12-13 PSI for a week. its not over carbed, just foamy pours.

standard set up. purchased through keg connection.

I'm getting 2/3 foam and 1/3 beer. How can I fix this? PSI is at 5.

Been using gravity balls, mainly because i have to auto siphon my samples (use a 6.5 glass carboy so the beer (wine) thief doesn't get down far enough to collect enough of a sample). I read about taking 2 samples, cooling 1 and heating the other to 140F and holding for 15 min. Then taste, if...

Fermentation was winding down so I let the beer temp drop to 59 degrees. My question is, will the yeast still clean up after themselves (diacetyl rest) at that low a temp? Trying to stop fermentation by letting it get cold, but still need them to clean up.

Thanks BigB, You're right, wasn't that big of a deal. Boiled 5c water and 2c DME. Worked great. Thanks for your help!

Needing to add some DME after fermentation has started. Trying to boil 2C DME but don't know how much water to add without it scorching the bottom. Was told to add the least amount possible... but how much is that?

Interesting... I'm really wanting to add gravity points, but also figured honey would be a nice background note to an IPA. I'm also aware that fermented honey can create a harsh headache hangover. Thoughts?

Day 2 of fermentation on an IPA with a lower that expected OG. I planned to add 1lb of honey to the beer after the main fermentation has peaked. How much water should I boil the honey in? Or should I just use an appropriate amount of DME?

I am using a GE 5.0cu/ft chest freezer with a Johnson Controls temperature control. Question 1: the chest freezer has a temperature control on the outside, should I set this to the highest (coldest) setting? Question 2: the freezer is in my garage, i have a standard two plug outlet. Both...

How many cups dme per cup of water? I never get a high krausen on my starter, only a thin foam around the outside. Usually make started day before brewday. When should I use a stir plate? And how do you oxygenate with a stone prior to pitching?

Trying to come up with my own recipe for a hoppy, caramel/toffee sweet brown ale. Wondering what these base grains impart to the flavor? 12# 2-row ( I know about this one) 1.25# carapils dextrin malt (see this used in a ton of recipes, why?) 1.25# crystal 40 (caramel/toffee too? 1# wheat...

Love this beer. 53 IBU's 6.7%abv Caramel and toffee taste with fresh citusy hop nose and finish. Going to use 2 row, crystal 40, maybe carapils (seen lots of brown recipes with this?) and maybe some caramelized light brown sugar to help get toffee notes. Also never used Nothern Brewer 6.5AA...

I dry hopped my wheat beer 7 days ago, and now have a dark layer of liquid floating on top of the fermeted beer in the carboy. The beer is pale hazy yellow and the top where the hop bags are floating is a darker brown color. Shouldn't these hop oils disperse throughout the beer without me having...

Brewed a wheat beer yesterday and forgot to add 5.2 ph additive to the mash, but did add it the 2 batch spathes we made. Tried the beer before pitching and got very bitter up front taste. I also learned we have a green algae problem with our water supply. We've used this water before with no...

Boiled my hop bag. Sanitized my hands. Added hops to bag and tied in a knot. My carboy opening was too small to fit the hop bag through it easily so i kept poking it down until i finally got it into the carboy. My question is do you think there is a chance I've contaminated the brew through...
