Miller Lite

I'm working on a blonde ale and apparently on brew day when I added water to get it to 5 gallons, I...umm...got it to 4. My brew bucket has lines on it and I suppose I got it to the wrong line. When I went to transfer it to the secondary I noticed my mistake and added another gallon of water...

I know this has been asked 1,000 times before but each time it seems to be a different issue. So basically I can’t get beer to dispense at all. I had a similar problem earlier and temporarily fixed it by connecting the gas to the out post but that doesn’t work now. It isn’t a clog because I...

Thanks. My batch is a bit hoppier than I was intending so I’m ok with diluting it just a bit. I really should have consulted beer smith before doing this but I’ll look at brewers friend.

I underestimated how much malt extract I’d need for a 5 gallon batch. I had a 3.3 lb can of Munton’s light LME and a one pound bag of light DME. I figured I might be low so I added a half cup of sugar but I don’t think it will help much. According to what I’ve looked at online I’m looking at...

Yes I am. EDIT: I put some Co2 into the keg via the out post instead of the in post and heard bubbling. Turn it off after a few seconds. That seems to have fixed the problem and I'd recommend OP do the same.

I'm having the same problem. I can't get anything to come out at all. I took a nail and pushed in the poppet valve and foam sprayed everywhere in a 10 foot radius. It's under about 15 psi at the moment. I don't have a kegerator or keezer yet so it isn't frozen and I didn't dry hop it either. Any...

I’m sure it’s just the style but I could not finish Weihenstephaner Vitus. It tasted so bad. I’m sure it’s not a bad beer but it’s style just isn’t for me.

I’m new to kegging and only have YouTube vids and threads here on HBT to go off of. I have a couple of quick questions: Why is there a metal piece on the threading of my pressure adjustment knob on my regulator? (See pics below) Is it to keep the knob from moving once I set it? Also, I’ve heard...

I had an idea where I would dissolve some table sugar into boiling water, and collect the cooled, sugary water in a large mason jar, then take the mason jar out into the woods (away from critters) to sit a few days. I would then wash whatever I collected and pitch it in the next batch. I would...

Immediately remove the boil kettle from the source of heat.

Anyway I can quickly pour the finings in the bucket and wait a week or two before bottling or will that expose it to too much oxygen?

I've got an Amber ale that's been in the fermenting bucket for about 2 1/2 weeks and I'm thinking about bottling at the three week mark. I don't have a carboy to do a secondary but I would like to get the batch as clear as I can. Can I add some fining agents during the bottling process to help...

I'm making a small batch blackberry melomel, and the airlock has been bubbling slowly for exactly one week. I'm worried that the yeast will consume all sugars and that I will end up with a rather dry mead. Should I go ahead and add some potassium sorbate?

Brewer's Best American Light Ale. Unfortunately it looks to be mislabeled as a lager on Untappd.

I'm currently fermenting an American Light ale from Brewer's Best, and since I am wanting this beer to be as similar to an American light lager as possible, I'm wanting to do a secondary to help clear it up a bit. The problem is I don't have a carboy so I'm thinking after 2 weeks I will transfer...

Natty Light.

Milwaukee Special Reserve has got to be the most cheaply made P!$$water I've ever ingested.

He's right. It's better to wait. The breakdown of the hops you are referring to happens after a matter of months, not weeks. It is better to let it bottle condition a bit.

BB Scottish Ale.
