Hi all! I am working on a maple syrup flavored cider. So far it has gone okay, but I a have run into flavoring issues. I have a basic cider that I made. To get my sugar content up high enough I used a mix of dextrose and maple syrup. I tasted it when I transferred it to the secondary a few...

So I decided that the time had come to get serious and build a keezer. I build it and it seems to be good. I tried to do the turning screw method of adjusting the thermostat, but no dice. Or more accurately, no screw. So I ended up order a new thermostat. One of those that the freezer plugs...

So this story has several stages. I move my beer out of the secondary into my kegs. I added half of my priming sugar to help carbonate. I went to seal the keg, only to find that the pressure valve leaked. All the stores were closed. I closed the lid as tightly as I could and crossed my...

So,I went to seal up my keg, and the top is leaking. This is only the second time I have used this one, so I am a little upset. I replaced the gasket, but no luck. It is leaking around the edges and the pressure release valve. What is there that I can do to save this keg? Anything?

So, this is my first attempt at kegging beer. Let me walk through what I have done, and maybe someone can offer up their vast wisdom. I set the CO2 to 30PSI. I left at 30 for about 24 hours. During that time I rolled the keg on my lap twice. Then I dropped the PSI to the 14 that the beer...

So, I starting brewing my first wheat beer. The first 48 hours went well, as the beer bubbled correctly in the bubbler. Then it stopped bubbling. I waited until today, 6 days after I cooked it up to recheck, as someone had suggested that nothing may be wrong and to check the specific gravity...
