Is it possible to charge the beer at serving psi, and then put it into the fridge until we're ready to drink it? This is the first time we've had this problem as we have always had a small tank to put in the fridge with the keg.

So, the CO2 tank will not fit in our fridge with the keg and we're reluctant to drill a hole in the fridge for the air line unless we have to. Tried carbonating in a room that is a steady 68F with several different pressures from 15 to 40 psi, rolled the tank a few times, but no luck. The beer...

it's a brown ale that is barely brown. After the boil, I noticed that the volume was low and....added water. No, I did not adjust to gravity like I should have. I definitely learned what not to do for the next time. I've got a 1.03 right now. It tastes like dirty dish water.

A sad but true story....my first all grain brew turned out watery and bland. I have it in a corny keg and a kegerator. How can I make this labored effort palatable? I'd love to make a lambic-esque brew out of it with a nice blackberry or cherry juice. My last ditch effort would be to pour in...

Clever. Do you drill through the wall of the fridge? In the meantime, can I simply carbonate when needed?

We have moved and had to buy a new co2 tank. Unfortunately, we could only find a big tank that doesn't fit in the kegerator with the keg. Is it possible to only carbonate the beer right before serving? Or, does anyone have any advice on how to carbonate this beer?

One my quick disconnects for my corny keg didn't survive the move. How can I tell if I have a gas or liquid one? Is there a difference? Am I making any sense?

One more thing...I need to put all the grains for my recipe (chocolate, crystal, oatmeal, etc.) through the extract processing together, right?

It looks like the cooler method might be the best option for us. This may sound like an inane question... Studying all the processes online, it seems that a lot of water is being used. Am I correct in assuming that all of this liquid is saved and used in the wort. So, if I'm making a...

Thanks for the link. How can I find a pot with a spigot? It seems dangerous to drill into my pot. How do people use coolers?

I've been brewing extracts for about eight years and I'm down in South America where equipment and ingredients are scarce. In fact, it took me months to find a guy who sells homebrew stuff. He only sells grains, so I am facing an all-grain batch. I have all the equipment necessary to brew...

I can't fit my brew bucket into the kegerator. What are you guys fermenting in? I was hoping to simply purge the gas regularly with the corny keg.

I got it now. I've been brewing ales for about five years and was given a lager kit as a gift. I think i can pull off the temperature changes using my kegerator. I'll have to he sure to purge the corny keg if I'm going to ferment in it. Thanks again.

Great advice. I'm going to use my kegerator, but we've got a nice dark closet that is consistently 18 degrees Celcius...we're in the Andes. We can probably pull off the warmer period in our solarium. The d-rest is what exactly? Simply a warmer period? Do I need two packs of yeast for five gallons?

I'm about to brew my first lager using a corny keg. What must I know to do it right?

Yes, it does look dark. I have nothing to lose and until I get some real ingredients, I can't brew otherwise. Thanks for the encouragement. I hope you make it down to South America one day!

Yep, we live on the Panamerican...in Quito, Ecuador.

Well, let's just say Unican is out of business. It's kind of a funny story...I'm doing it to pass the time while I get my brewing supplies together. We just moved to South America and I lost a lot of my supplies on the way down. I'm slowly gathering everything, but my landlord gave me the kit...

It would have to be hopped...there are no other ingredients! You think I should go for it?

A friend of mine gave me an OLD Unican brew kit for Lager. It is all in German, but this company is from England and no longer exists. It sounded ridiculous, but I thought I might give a go for fun. The kit only contains one can of malt syrup and a packet of yeast. Translating the German, it...
