So I read alot on force carb kegs. I have given a friend a growler and poured a few pints off my kegs and now it seems a bit flat. I have it at 10 PSI and at 38deg on my Johnson Controller in the Keezer........any tips on getting that carb back up? When I force carbonated I kept it at 30 PSI...

Do you out priming sugar in your kegs when you have CO2?

I have moved my Fat Tire to a secondary to get some sediment per the recommendation of my LBS (I know you all done use secondary). It did bubble for a short time. Today I noticed a little film on top of the beer. Is this OK/normal. It smells ok........its not mold is it? I use StarSan on...

I want to put something on top of my keezer build to make it look a little licer w/o having to build a whole coffin. I have a nice 6" collar on it. What have any of you used? I was thinking 1" x 1" tile.....if I did that would it stick with regular tile adhesive or would I need to maybe use like...

So I got my keezer all set. But have some questions on the Johnson Control settings......what do you all use? I have the following: SP-36 dIF-2 ASd-1 OFS-0 SF-1 Also should I have the temp probe in some water in the cooler?

What temp do you all keep your keezers/kegerators at? And what PSI? My lines will be about 4-5' long. I have read like 36-38 degrees and 10-12psi?

Just went to Lowes today and got a 7 cu. ft freezer to start my keezer build. I am going to do it w/o a collar. Plan to fit 4 corney kegs in there, and keep CO2 outside the keezer. Any tips? Suggestions? Ill hit up my LBS this weekend to get some supplies (I know you can get cheaper online...

Thinking about making an extra GE 7cubic foot chest freezer I landed into a keg tap. What all would I need supplies wise? And what brands are suggested? With that size I'll prob do 4 taps (room to grow). I also have 3 pin lock kegs I got off friend.

Beer has been in the primary for a week and a day. Today I noticed it started bubbling again......is this normal? Temp has been pretty constant at 68-70; may have dropped to 66 in the room last night as it got SUPER cold here.....but back to normal now.

Ok going to have my first go st this. I got a recipe that highly recommends decoction. After the decoction though you do a sparse right? I was using Brew 365 calculator....... Am I on right track?

Second brew must be doing well. Woke to some gunk in the airlock. Should o clean this out or just leave it?

My LBS mostly suggest the pellets for tenor recipes. Some of it is strained out but a lot goes into the fermentation bucket I'm sure. Does this just settle out during fermentation? Should I have strained? If so what can I do to fix?
