OK. So I took a sample of my English Brown yesterday. Great color, great nutty flavor, but no "finish" (for lack of a better term). It swallows like water and then leaves no taste. It needs some more time on the CO2 (it is kegged), but I am concerned. Will the CO2 cure this problem? I hope so...

My new tower is arriving today for the kegerator. This coincides with my first kegged batch being ready to be tested! Hope it is ready! Can't wait to get home from work to try it!

I am getting ready to set up my kegerator and have been reading about balancing. This is what I have so far: Resistance of the faucet= @2 psi Resistance of the shank= @1 psi Gravity resistance= 0.5 psi/ft (1.25 psi in my case) I want to carbonate at 38F at 8 psi to get 2.2 CO2 volume and...

How does this affect my beers (so far only ales; since I cannot lager at this temp)? Are there particular yeasts I should...

This is my first recipe I have done on my own. It is meant to sort of mimic a Blue Moon. This is one of my wife's favorites. I brewed last night and the airlock was bubbling away when I left for work this morning. Do you think I will end up with what I had planned? I would love to read your...

I transferred into secondary after 1 week in primary. Brewers Best English Brown Ale 1.049 OG and 1.008 FG upon transfer. I need to develop some patience before kegging. So in order to do so will ask the forum for input. How long should I leave it in secondary? And what is your reasoning...

Just moved my English Brown Ale to secondary this morning. FG 1.008 and it tastes great! I will be carbonating in a corny keg for the first time and have a question: After the beer is carbonated completely, can the keg be stored unhooked from the CO2 (obviously, I would keep it pressurized)? If...
