So I just started kegging and I kegged by second beer (Pale Ale). Being new to kegging and in a rush when Kegging the beer, I realized late last night (while watching youtube videos) that I had jacked my keg configuration all up. I had put the long metal tube (that sucks the beer out of the...

I brewed the Surly pro Cynical series kit on Sunday, stuck it in the chamber, and have been checking it everyday. Yesterday it was fine but getting towards the airlock. Thought it would last another day but when I came home, it was spewing foam out the airlock. No biggie, rip it off and put a...

OK, I am new to brewing and have brewed 6 extract batches at partial boil. Now that i have somewhat of an understanding of how things are suppose to work, i would like to step it up. From what i have researched, full boils make a significant difference in quality. With that being said, i...
