    Nothing but foam from draft tower faucet but picnic tap works fine

    Hey guys, I'm having a hell of a time troubleshooting my kegerator. Ever since the first keg I tapped when I bought the kegerator (which was a commercial sanke keg from a local brewery) none of my corny kegs have ever poured well out of the draft tower. But all the picnic taps work just fine...

    HELP! Beer was carbonated but is now flat :(

    So I recently kegged a saison, I hooked it up to gas and left it at 12 PSI for about 48 hours. When I came home I tried it and it was close but not carbed enough so I let it sit for another 24 hours. It is now pouring flat with no carbonation at all. Would it be a leak somewhere? Any help is...

    How long do unmilled grains/vacuum sealed hops last?

    Long story short, there's an old brewery that closed down, and there are 55lb bags of unmilled malt and a few bags of vacuum sealed hops. I'm assuming they are no good, I think the brewery closed down in 2006, and these things were left behind, but just out of curiosity I wanted to know what...

    HELP! Beer spraying out of liquid post on pin lock keg

    Hello all! I was extremely excited to start kegging, so I brewed a batch and kegged it. I left it overnight in my kegerator to force carbonate. I had the PSI set at 25 for 24 hours. I just attempted to connect my liquid line but the beer is just spraying everywhere! I'm not sure what could...

    So I made a mistake at my LHBS, help?

    As I was crushing grain I somehow got distracted and put 2 lbs of C75 and 2 lbs of C20 in the same bag. My question is, when formulating a recipe, do I just write down equal weight of each, for example a 3 gal batch: 5 lbs 2 row .3 lb C75 .3 lb C20 I guess it won't be exactly accurate...

    What type of yeast should I use with this recipe?

    Hey guys, I'm about to make a 5 gallon batch of what will eventually be a raspberry ale (making it for my girlfriend) and I've made a 1 gallon batch of this before, turned out great but the overall body of the beer was a bit too dark in colour when I used wheat dme and amber lme, so I've chosen...

    My first recipe...thoughts??

    Just did all the math to formulate my first recipe, and haven't brewed yet. Brewing will commence this weekend. Since I've only done a few batches of mostly extract, thought I'd keep it simple. 60 minute boil: 3.3 lbs LME 1 lb light DME .5 lb Caramel 40 Should yield 1.053 OG for a 3...

    Reusing opened yeast packages?

    So I have a couple packages of yeast in my fridge that I only used half of, for small 1 gallon batches. Is it ok to reuse this yeast for another 1 gallon batch? It's been in my fridge for a few months, don't wanna risk using it if it won't work....has anyone done this?

    I have all these beer ingredients...what shall I do????

    Hey guys, was hoping to get an estimation on a recipe for combining all these beer ingredients to make a full batch of beer. Let me break it down...I have 3.3lb of LME, 1lb of light DME, and quite a bit of Caramel 40 and CaraPils malts...and tons of hoppy hops such as Chinook, Amaraillo...

    1 Gallon batch using just DME and hops?

    I'm looking to brew a 1 gallon batch, so would using some DME and some hops be an acceptable way to get a drinkable beer? Thanks in advance!

    Hops question!

    I have an ounce of Mt Hood and an ounce of UK Challenger hops that i need to use up, I usually brew IPA's but has anyone had any experience with brewing IPA's using these hops? Or any suggestions on a recipe that would be good including these hops? Thanks!
