So tonight I noticed that when I turn my regulator all the way shut, it still allows CO2 to release at about 10 psi. It only stops when I turn the bottle of ff. Any idea what's wrong with it? I'm pretty sure it didn't do this previously.

So I have the choice of two 4 way secondary gauges. The first is the Taprite CGR284-PT 4 way. In the past couple weeks, I've had 2 Taprite gauges screwed up. The first didn't read the pressure accurately and the dial didn't rise past 40 PSI. The second is the first version of the above 4 way...

So I brewed up a batch of beer a two weeks ago. I used a Wyeast smack pack (1028). The bag didn't blow up at all, but I figured I'd pitch it anyway. Nothing happened for about 2 and a half days and then it started to slowly bubble and a thin Krausen formed and so I thought "Great!". Two days...

On Rebel Brewer they are offering wet hops and Malteurop 2-row. I wanted to experiment with these and create a smooth blueberry ale. I'm still not great at creating recipes, so I based this off of another recipe I've found. I want to try a SMaSHish recipe, converted into a partial mash. This is...

I brewed this batch about 5 weeks ago. After a week in the bottle I decided to try one, and it was a delicious smoky flavor that settled nicely into a nice banana/citrus flavor. I tried one about a week later and the smoke flavor had diminished to being very quick and subtle and ending up in a...

My fiancee wants a coffee stout for her birthday. I've been reading and rereading my grain and hops charts, looked at other coffee stout recipes, and then decided that I should ask you folks. This could be a terrible recipe, but I figure I should start somewhere. She wants a strong coffee flavor...

So I bottled my brew after two weeks sitting in the primary and it has been in the beer fridge for a week. I cracked one today so that I can taste the maturation process. This is what I've found Coriander Amber ale-partial mash 1. This is a lot better than LME brewing. All the LME I've...

Here is the recipe I brewed last night. I read it was supposed to have an O.G of 1.043-1.047. My OG was 1.06. Should I expect flavors to be off because of this? 2lbs Muntons Pale Ale 1lb Briess Wheat Malt 1lb Briess Caramel 40 3lbs Muntons Extra Light DME 1oz Northern Brewer Hops...

So I finished my copper manifold and broke out everything to do 5 gallons of partial mash beer. I may have to leave the mash for over an hour. Is there any negative consequence to this?

I just bought my 5gal round cooler to start building my all grain set up. I have a bunch of leftover soft copper tubing from some projects I've done around the house. What I can't seem to figure out is how to bend the copper tubing into a circle to fit into the bottom of the cooler. Tubing...
