have some poorly carbed bottles. Imperial stout. Thinking of opening all the bottles and pouring into a keg for carbing. They have been aging for about a year, so I don't think the yeast would be active enough to do anything with any added sugar to the bottles. Anyone had luck transfering...

Any one used this kind of valve? When I open the gas it all comes flowing out of the hole between the "COR" and the "4100". Is there something I need to do to plug this up?

Thought I would throw this out for either confirmation or warning. I needed a new fitting for my Star San tank, and went to Home Depot to pick one up. The guy helping me had a PhD in environmental engineering, and let me know that when galvanized fittings start breaking down the release a...

This is my first Kölsh. Had it in the lager fridge for 5 weeks. Just bottled it, and it was still really stinky. Very heavy sulpher taste and smell. It has mellowed a lot in the last 5 weeks, but still far from the smooth drinks served at the sidewalk cafes in Köln. Doe anyone know how long...
