After cleaning out the post and dip tube, all is well on dispensing. There was a lot of crud in it. I didn't do a secondary on that batch so there was more stuff in it. Maybe I'll trim back the dip tube a bit to avoid sucking all that up on the first few glasses. Thanks for the help!

Yeah i have a two port c02 distribution block with the two kegs hooked up. One trickles, one is fine. Maybe I'll pull out the diptube and make sure all is well. Also I may shut off the good keg for a bit and crank up the co2 a bit for a few days and see if that helps with the carbonation. So...

I have two kegs hooked up to one co2 tank and one keg dispenses significantly slower than the other. Also after a week of being hooked up at around 10psi the beer in the keg in question is lacking carbonation. Any idea what the issue may be? You think I may need to replace the posts? I...

Quick question. I'm working on upgrading my one keg system to handle two kegs on one 5lb CO2 tank. I'm wondering if I should get a two way CO2 distribution block or just get a simple "tee" connector to split the lines. It seems like the tee would work fine, but I'm not sure if I'm overlooking...

I'm brewing a morebeer.com porter kit and it's been in the fermenter for 10 days. My OG was 1.053 and now it's at 1.020-1.019 and it's been the same for the past 3 days. It's still bubbling but very slow. Should I rack it to a secondary and let it sit more or just bottle it up and call it...

I made my yeast starter about 24 hours ago and I haven't seen a frothy layer of foam on top like when you make bread starters, but the airlock is bubbling and there is the cake on the bottom. Did I just miss the all the action? I'm assuming if the airlock is bubbling that it must be ok. I...

i'll make a starter and see what happens, i have some dry yeast packets for backup in case. mmm pumpkin spice.

shipped from cali to west virginia.

If I have a set of instructions that tell you do a 3 gallon boil, can you follow them for a one gallon boil? I don't have a kettle large enough to do a full 3 gallon boil, maybe I could do a 1.5 - 2. I guess it'd be more concentrated, but I'd think it'd still work fine. Any thoughts? Kevin

So I ordered a pumpkin ale kit from morebeer.com and I got the whitelabs yeast with it. The problem is that I didn't see on their site that they suggest you ordering expedited shipping with ice packs. Do you think the yeast is still usable after sitting in the truck for 7 days? I ordered two...

Yeah i was planning on using the bucket for the pri, but watching it swirl around in the glass was tempting.

Here are my options for fermentation, which would you suggest. I have a 6.5 gal bucket and a 6.5 gal carboy. I meant to buy a 5 gal carboy, but i got a 6.5 gal instead. I'm planning on getting a 5 soon, but not for a bit. Should I: Bucket - Pri Carboy - Sec. or Carboy - Pri...

I'm about to brew my third batch and just picked up a carboy. My plans were to use it for secondary fermentation, but I bought a 6.5 gal one instead of a 5 gal. I wasn't aware of the difference earlier :) Would it be ok to use the 6.5 for sec. fermentation or should I wait to get a 5 gal...
