head space was good, theyre not carbed at all so temp is out. the alcohol content could not possibly have gone that high.... maybe just no yeast.... I'll try the yeast option

I've never had any trouble with bottling before, its kegging that has given me tremendous difficulty. Recent;y (3 weeks ago) I bottled an IIPA. It didn't carbonate at all. I've successfully bottled many times, mixed and boiled the dextrose then added....any thoughts on what could have gone...

Alright thanks everyone. I have purged my keg multiple times and am re-connecting for set and forget method. I have my beer sitting around 35 degrees and have set my regulator to 11psi. Hopefully this produces a finely carbonated Munich Helles Lager in 2 weeks. I'll update then, thanks!

I forgot to mention that I did chill my beer before force carbonation. What I have gathered from all the responses 1.) 3' hose not long enough 2.) I probably didn't do the set and forget correctly, I can't remember what I did it was over a year ago thanks guys!

This way very helpful...I don't use lines coming out've my keggerator. My line is a simple one hooked up to a little black spout at the end. I only store the kegs in my keggerator which is kitted for commercial kegs only. So the 3foot line is responsible for all the foaming? My line is cold...

Its a lager, temperature is 35 degrees, line is about 3ft long, diameter is unknown

I started extract brewing, moved to partial, now finally at all-grain. Through all the advancement I've gone through with my home brewing, I cannot for the life of me understand or master kegging. I have literally tried it all. I read the sticky thread and it is of no use to me. The first...

yeah this may be. I have no idea where all the loss is coming from either. Thanks for being helpful tho haha

I just recently switched from extract partial mash brewing to all-grain back in the beginning of summer. At first we were having trouble hitting our volumes for mash/sparge and post boil to retain 5.5gal to put into the fermentor for primary. Well, we finally solved that problem but our volume...

oh I havent made this recipe yet.... haha okay thanks! that helps. If I remove it, any suggestions on something else to add in there? seems pretty plain to me otherwise.

woops, maybe a mod can move the thread. Why not use cara-pils? I know nothing about recipe formulation I was throwing stuff together. Anyways, thanks!

thanks for your help!

well our OG is spot on, 1.063....we just lost 1 gallon. oh well

I dropped my gravity reader into the pot and it hit the bottom....

I can check but it may be too hot to take the reading.

Did the Bee Hive porter today from the recipes forum. Didn't leave instructions for volumes for the mash or sparge so I guestimated. Anyways, came out with 4 gallons after the boil and its winter here so I cannot use my chiller to cool the wort. Its sitting in a snowbank right now, but I was...

Suggestion for boosting the grain bill for a pale ale? ***EDIT*** How long should a typical mash run?

I didn't crush them myself it was a kit I ordered from a company. It spent 5 days in the mail in a sealed bag though...

I didn't snag a final gravity but the original gravity was 1.038, way off the mark for the 1.048 listed on the recipe
