This past Monday I kegged my second beer. I watched a video on YouTube about force carbonating and I did this with my first kegged beer and it turned out perfect. I'm not sure what I did wrong this time. First I cooked the beer to around 38F and turned it on its side. I set the psi at 30 and...

Ok so about a 2 weeks ago I hooked up my first keg system and kegerator. Forced carbonated at 30psi for 2 mins while gently rolling the keg on its side. Then I set the serving pressure at 10psi. It worked fine for several days. Then I noticed the foam was a bit much so I turned down the serving...

Ok, so I got my first keg and kegerator and I kegged my brew just fine. Checked for leaks and whatever. So I did this last Saturday and have been enjoying the hell out of my brew and kegerator. I get home tonight and nothing comes out. I checked the CO2 tank and it's empty. Ok so last night I...

I just got my first kegerator and I bought a new tap handle. I screwed the tap handle on but it didn't quite center right. So, I slowly turned it to fit center and then it felt like something broke and now it just twists and turns freely with no effort. I held the tap in the off position and...

Ok so I bought my first kegerator and corny keg. The kegerator seems to be working properly and the kegs seem to hold pressure. My kegerator is not setup for corny kegs but holds two just fine. So my question is, the line that's suppose to go from the keg to the spout looks right but I'll...

I just made my first my first extract brew. This wasn't a kit. It was just ingredients I thought would be good. It's a stout and I would like opinions on the choice of ingredients. I already cooked it and it looked great but just wanted some experienced advice. It was a 5 gallon batch recipe...

I recently bought some pecan extract for my porter extract kit. It says on the pecan extract to add 2 fl oz per 5 gallons. My question is, when should I add this? At the 15 min point or at bottling time with the priming solution?

The past couple of batches of beer I've done the OG has been off from what the instructions say it should be. For example, I cooked an ale today and it's OG should have been 1.54 but instead it was 1.032. Now I followed the instructions correctly and I made should the sample temp was 60 degrees...

I made an Helles Bock on 1/19/15 and it took 3 1/2 days to start fermenting. The airlock has yet to bubble or I just haven't seen it and I've been watching a lot. It did have a nice big Krausen though and it's been very violent in the carboy. It's been ten days since then and the Krausen has...

I'm new to homebrewing. Started back in September of last year. I enjoy the hell out of it! My first 3 homebrews were kits. Oktoberfest, Irish Stout and Hefeweizen. They were all fantastic! My fourth beer, I had a problem. It was a Pilsner that never fermented. So I decided to educate myself...

Is it normal for a Lagtime of three days?

I recently bought the Rogue Dead Guy Ale beer kit by Brewcraft USA. The kit said it didn't come with the 1764 Pacmans yeast. I opened the kit and there was dry yeast in the kit. I inspected the ingredient chart and sure enough it included a dry ale yeast but not the Pacmans yeast. I read the...
