Ok, my issue is pretty much all my beers for months now taste fine after a couple weeks in the bottle but gradually get more dry, tart and carbonated to the point of being undrinkable. I have made saisons (that came out fine) with this equipment and I've heard of that causing problems so maybe I...

I can't find any markings indicating guage. Actually, just from knocking on the side one seems a bit more solid than the other so maybe two different guages.

So I picked up my first couple kegs yesterday. Not knowing what to watch for I didn't even register the grind marks on each until I got them home. Should these be usable? They were both under quite a bit of pressure that I had to bleed off so I know they can take at least some pressure but I...

Sounds like I'm missing something in the mash process then. I had already determined that I needed to adjust my measurements a bit as I wound up with a bit too much wort to fit in my pot, so there's some loss. Also, I batch sparged but didn't mash out, will that help much? Also, if the OG is...

So, I tried a Fat Tire clone for my first all grain attempt. My OG was 1.049, FG came out to 1.005, no real maltiness left, just tastes thin. I'm guessing mashing temp was off, maybe my thermometer. Here's the recipe: 10.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 80.00 % 0.50 lb...

Up til now I've been using bottled water but I'd like to start using tap and want to find out what treatment it will need. I can get a filter or just use campden if that will work but I'm lost when it comes to additions. Here's the profile of the tap water: Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est...

Great, I can rest a little easier then. Thanks for the fast response. :mug:

It's a Brewers Best kit. It was a partial mash, used Danstar Belle Saison yeast and I fermented at around 72. Also, I forgot to mention that a couple days before the first pic I had taken a peak (since there hadn't been any bubbles) and there was krausen so I quickly closed it. After that it...

Ok, so I have a Saison in the fermenter from April 28 - didn't have any bubbles for a while so I checked it on May 2nd and it smelled sulfery and looked like this: Left it alone and now, 5 days later, it looks like this: It doesn't smell bad... just kinda like a Belgian and it's down to...
