About two months ago I kegged a batch of dunkelwiezen. It is tasing better everytime I try it. The problem is that all the yeast has settled out to the bottom of the keg and my bear is pouring dark but really clear. Any recomendations? I was thinking of taking the keg out and rolling it...

Here is what I have. Five tap kegerator/freezer. Tap 1 is soda running at 35 pounds off the second regulator body. Taps 2-5 are beer running at 13 pounds off of the first regulator body that is connected to a manifold. Each individual Line has a shut off valve with integral check valve. All...

I remeber reading a thread about the off taste that beer line can sometimes impart in your beer. I have done quite a bit of searching and can't find that thread. The problem I am having isn't with my beer line but with my rootbeer line. The line is about 25 feet of 3/16 from Austin homebrew...

I have a pin lock keg that won't hold pressure. It leaks at the bottom of the threads where the post screw on. Is there anything else this keg might be good for? Paul

I posted earlier today about poppets. Well I found what I needed about an hour from the house so I went for a ride. I just came up from the cellar after about 2 hours of work. I have two of the four kegs completely cleaned and totally rebuilt. My problem is that on one of the kegs the poppet...

Ok, I have been kegging for a little while and recently while getting some of my newly acquired older kegs I found the poppets where leaking. These are pin lock kegs and I was able to remove the posts, however 2 of the 4 kegs have a weird style poppet. The "legs" of the poppet are flared out...

I can't see why it would benefit from the secondary as it shouldn't clear too much anyhow right? My plan was 10 days or so in the primary and then into the keg and into the kegerator to cold condition and carbonate. Any input on this would be helpful, I am new to this style. Paul

I am sure many of you are familiar with "Jones soda". Well SWMBO said that if I could make cream soda that tasted like the Jones soda cream soda I would be her hero. The Jones soda cream soda tastes just like cotton candy, it is really good. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks in...

Alright, here is my problem. We bought a chest freezer last weekend for my kegerator. I orderred the temp controller online and it just arrived, 20 minutes ago. I went down stairs to hook it up and despite measuring my CO2 bottle is about 3/4 of an inch too tall. My question is does anyone...

Title says it all. I am looking for a mini frdge to convert to hold 3 kegs. I am set to do a conversion after christmas and just need the refridgerator. I was hoping to not need to go the chest freezer route so I could avoid buying a temperature controller. Any help would be appreciated...

I just mixed up soda for the first time and I am guessing at the serving carbonating pressure. Anyone with some expierience that can help? Currently I have the keg at about 40 PSI as I am trying to force carb it quickly. I have been shaking it whenever I pass by. I was thinking that I...

So a friend at work has been hounding me to buy his kegging set-up from him because he only bottles now. I was putting it off because I didn't want to spend money on myself with the holidays right around the corner. Well the other night he offerred it to me a steal, an offer I truly could not...

I got 256 grolsch style flip top bottles today on the cheap off craigslist $60 for 256 bottles, retail would have been a lot more than that, I just about filled up the truck to bring it home. Now I have some washing to do. Paul

I have wanted to try cranberry wine for a while now so I figured I would come to the forum in search of information and suggestions. Being from Massachusetts I have access to fresh cranberries from the bogs as soon as they are ripe and also everything that could be orderred on the net. Who...

Ok, here it is. I started a batch of wine from a kit about 5-6 days ago. I haven't noticed any airlock activity but I think my primary bucket has a bad gasket in it that is letting the CO2 out by another means. Anyways, I have the primary in the officer closet where it is out of the way and...

OK here's my dilema, mystout has stopped at 1.020, it was supposed to finish a little lower at 1.012. I have confirmed that it has stopped and not just slowed down by checking it several times. It spent 1 week in primary and then 2 weeks in secondary. I am going to leave it in secondary for a...

I plan on having stout on tap and I plan on pushing it through a stout faucet. My question is can I use the mixed gas to push regular beer also or will this affect my carbonation. Can I still force carb or will I be stuck conditioning in the kegs. I really don't want multiple cylinders of gas...
