Hi folks, I thought i'd share a plan with you to try and salvage an IPA that I recently messed up. Brew night bad karma happened. I decided to use a stainless hop ball (never again) and 1/2 way through the boil I ran out of gas. Resolved the gas issue after 20 mins or so but the hop ball...

Hey guys, I was curious if anyone has built a modular style approach to extending the beer lines (to balance your draft system) Currently i have two beers in my kegs. Dale's Pale Ale and Jamil's dunkle. Both high co2 volume brews and i get some hellishly big foam, even after first poor. My...

Hi folks, I have a dual regulator and I let my brew force carbonate over a week at the dialed in pressure. Can someone explain the difference, if any, between dispensing psi vs carbonation psi? I'm not very clear on this one. I get wild foam on the initial pour so I'm wondering if there...
