My family has a Christmas tradition of a "Cheese Corn Soup" with a beer base. I'm finding light beers without a lot of hops are best for this purpose. Any recommendations for an all-barley malt light beer with low hops for cooking?

Hello, I just chased down a CO2 leak, but now I'm experiencing problems keeping the co2 under control for two corny kegs running off the supply. Both kegs are well below half full. I can set the regulator for 8psi, when I return the next day the reg is overpressurized at 20 or more psi. This...
