    Been in Keg for 2 Weeks - No Carbonation

    I kegged a dunkelweizen almost 2 weeks ago and set it to about 5psi. I've been gone for the last week and when I came back last night I poured a glass and there's still no real carbonation. I checked for leaks and there doesn't appear to be any (the keg is holding pressure and the CO2 tank isn't...

    Top 10 Beers for Beginners

    There are a lot of smart people on this forum and many fantastic brewers (I don't know personally but would love to). :rolleyes: Since there's quite a few "What should I brew next?" threads, I think it would be great if they could compile a sticky of the Top 10 Beers for Beginners. I'd be...

It's a little more bitter than I thought it would be but I'm going to let it sit in the keg for another week or so (it's been...

    Need Hand Holding - Fermentation Slowing

    Hi all, I'm brewing a porter, hope to add some coconut in the secondary. Everything was going fine started happily bubbling after about 12 hours but has since slowed to about once every 3 minutes (it's been almost 4 days). I opened it up and checked the F.G., it was 1.024 (O.G. was 1.062...

    Aluminum Kettle's Oxide Layer

    Hi all, I've searched and found lots of things that are around my question but nothing that answers it directly. I just bought an aluminum brew kettle and, following the advice here, boiled water in it for 30 minutes. The kettle has turned almost black inside which I'm assuming is the right...

    Hopping Brew

    Hi all, I'm new here and have been lurking for a bit. The information is terrific. I'm sure this might be on here somewhere but I couldn't find it; When you hop your beer during the boil and the bittering hops is 60 minutes, aroma is 15 minutes and flavor is 5 minutes (according to the...
