I have force carbed a beer and it's ready to be bottled but I don't have a counter pressure bottler filler. Can you just take the keg off the co2 release the pressure take the top off the keg and rack it into bottles and cap? Will the beer still be carbonated or should I get myself a counter...

When I charge a keg do I leave the gas going? Or just jack it open to 30 psi and then turn off the gas? I'm new to this whole kegging thing....I can hear hissing also from my regulator but when I spray on soapy water nothing bubbles is this normal? Thanks

But there is nothing I can do..paid $30 CND to get my 5lb co2 bottle filled....simply wooooowzerz...but praxair wanted $40 so I went to the cheaper fire safety place as people advised. Now I read that people pay half that for a 5lb co2....hopefully I don't have any leaks.

Ok, so when your ready to move from primary to secondary I can just pore my new wort over the left over sludge in the bottom of my bucket? Or do you have to leave some liquid at the bottom? I'm about to move my IPA and make a red ale. I used wyeast 1056. Is it better to just do the yeast washing...

I used my first package of wyeast last night and after smacking it and having the bag inflate I poured it into my wort. But when I woke up this morning it looks like the wyeast has settled at the bottom of my container. Is this normal or did I do something wrong when pitching it. My temps are at...

Is there really a way to tell if you layed the smack down on your wyeast. I watched the video and heard a crack. But I've used a hammer and my knees, repeated punching and the was no cracking. so I dunno if it's been "smacked" enough or it needs round 2?...is there actually a capsule inside? or...
