Way cool!!!

Welcome always good to have experienced help :)

pin lock or ball valve? also check your regulator connections I had an issue with mine leaking. hope this helps. If the valves for gas or beer are sticking it will cause a leak make sure the springs are in good shape and clean free of debris etc..

I cold crashed mine it turned out great! Put it in the fridge for 24hrs and then bottle keg etc.. It won't hurt to wait awhile longer either, I am new to this only 20 gallons or so under my belt so seek others opinions as well good luck hope it turns out well!

Lol! I just did this as well as long as it was diluted I think you'll be fine, I left a mixture of water and starsan at the bottom of my keg and the first few pulls were watery but then it was fine tastes great no off flavors.

BTW it's a Honey Lager from the joy of home brewing.

Yeah after the first few pulls this tastes very different I think the top was diluted due to the water and Starsan.

Me too! LOL!

O.K I have let her cool down for a few HRS and force carbed it tastes fine a little under carbed but fine re adjusting now.

?????

I was rushing around kegging my beer and im not sure if I poured out the stars an when I began filling my keg did I F'up big time? The water was clean it was not reused starsan and it was a very small amount.:cross:

Update: We got bubbles :rockin:

I kinda thought the honey might cause a lag, No it's not a kit it's a recipe from the joy of home brewing. only my second non kit brew first one was a day earlier and it's perking like a champ! P.S the other one was pitched with dry yeast.

Thanks newbie panic here!

I am using a bucket and the seal seems tight if I push on the lid the airlock moves.

it tells me to pitch at 70 and keep at this temp until fermentation begins however I was not able to keep this temp due to a cold snap. So I should be a little more patient then and leave it alone?

does liquid yeast take longer to start fermenting than dry yeast? I am using it for the first time and 48hrs later no airlock action I know it can take up to and beyond 72hrs but I have yet had to wait this long. Recipe: 3.5lbs plain extra light DME 3.0 lbs clover honey 1.5 ozs cascade...
