No, the valve has been left on and has been on for over a month now at the varying pressures listed above. I'm assuming the Co2 is reaching the keg because it's pouring with a lot of velocity, but then resting and tasting completely flat. (I'll double check this by disconnecting it from the keg...

I kegged my first beer (Pale Ale) a couple months and cannot for the life of me get it to carbonate. Below are the details: -Pin lock corny kegs -Racked to keg, pressurized, but then sat for almost a month (my kegerator died and I had to build a keezer) - Finally got the keezer built...

That was the other option I meant to ask. Am I able to transfer it to the keg now and let it sit at room temp?

I finally got two corny kegs for Christmas and have been chomping at the bit to use them. I just did a pale ale that has been in the secondary for a week only to find out my kegerator isn't working!! (Whole other issue). How long can I leave the pale in the secondary? I also dry hopped it with a...

I just transferred this into the secondary today and the ginger spice/bite has died down a bit. I added about 12oz of honey in hopes it'll sweeten it up a bit. We'll see.

I don't have my notes in front of me, but I added about 1.5oz of thinly sliced ginger and 1 cinnamon stick at the beginning of the boil (60min total) and the remaining ginger and cinnamon stick at flameout. After it was chilled and I tasted it, there was still a hint of sweetness, but the...

I just finished brewing this and loved the initial sweetness of it, however I think the ginger may be too overpowering (I used about 2.7oz.) Is there a way to soften this by adding honey into the secondary or something? Or will it naturally soften as its in the primary and secondary? Thanks a lot!

I'll be brewing this on Monday. Any last minute tips or advice? I made a different Xmas ale last year and butchered it, so I want to try and redeem myself with this one! (I added way too much cinnamon and it ended up tasting like some I could clean my car's engine with)

Ok, great! Thanks for the quick responses, this takes some stress off me!

Long story short...I'm getting married in 25 days and our table gifts will be bottles of homebrew. I've got two batches going now but don't think it's going to be enough so I'm going to try and brew one more hefeweizen. Can I do it in 25 days? I'm thinking something like this: 7 days in...

I made one 4L yeast starter with two vials of Wlabs California ale. Because I don't have a container suitable for a starter this size, I used two growlers, using one vial in each. The one growler is going crazy with fermentation, the other has nothing. I did lose some yeast when adding it to the...

I use a false bottom wrapped in a nylon grain bag. I was getting a lot of loose grains in my runnings and this helped tremendously.
