I understood about half of what you said here. Any chance you got a link for some good references I can read up on?

I am venting from the keg.

Hey everyone, I'm still relatively new to kegging and am having a small issue. My keg seems to keep rising in pressure even after locking the regulator. I usually cheat and put it on 15-20 psi for 3 days to carb fast, then slow it down to 10 or so. but even after purging the valve, it seems...

I've been waiting 14 days for fermentation before moving it to a keg. My gravity readings were always about where they were supposed to be so i never gave it much more thought. Is something happening in the beer after primary fermentation slows down that I should let happen in the bucket...

okay that's interesting because I always based it on the gravity. Once I hit my target I just dropped it into the keg...waiting the 3-6 days to carbo then tried it. Is 30 days generally recommended?

Hey everyone, So I've been brewing for a couple years now. Have gotten pretty comfortable with my all-grain process and have turned out some decent beers (I think). But I have always had this off taste in my beers. Something I don't taste in other beers. Its subtle, not necessarily bad, so...

Thanks for all the feedback! I've posted this on a couple of forums and the responses have been pretty much the same. Not enough incentive for a home brewer to really facilitate the idea. I think something more like a true brew incubator (co-op brewery) is probably a more realistic project...

Hey all, I am working on a business plan for a brewery concept. The idea is basically to have a brewery/bar that allows homebrewers to use our equipment to brew a keg of beer that is then sold at the attached bar. It allows the bar to have really unique and interesting beers for its consumers...

My smack pack said 1 pack and no starter. Seems to work just fine.

For what it's worth to those starting out I thought I would post a reply with my second batch so far. I filled the carboy up properly this time. To the point where it blew the airlock off, so had to switch to a blowoff tube for a while. But fermentation looks good, no off smells yet. Pretty sure...

I'm picking up another quick batch of materials for another 1 gallon batch. Hopefully lessons learned can be applied.

I did a little bit of reading on general trouble shooting for beer making from John Palmer's book and I think I had an infection of Aceto bacteria. I have the cidery smell, jelly strands, and lots of cloudiness. Important part is figuring out how it happened. I think there was some step I may...

Hey everyone! Excited to be part of the community. I got my first brewing kit for Christmas (actually a while before Christmas) and I just bottled it. I have a couple questions I was hoping you guys could help me out with. 1. The beer is very very cloudy and smells almost like cider. Is that...
