    Foam in line- overcarbed?

    OK, I have seen a number of these threads on foamy pours, and I suspect I know the answer but would like to hear other's thoughts on the issue I am experiencing. In my last 3 kegged beers I have experienced massive foaming issues. I use 8' 3/16 inch beverage lines to picnic taps. I cannot...

    10 day active ferment?

    Brewed up a 1.070 IPA 10 days ago that took off like a rocket - I mean, totally blew the top off my carboy.... twice! I had 3.5 days of volcanic fermentation which finally slowed. Temp dropped, so I relocated to a warmer part of the house to finish off. That was 5 days ago! I am still seeing...

    Evidence of starter activity

    Hey all, I am on the edge of panic here. Started a Belgian 3 days ago and had no evidence of fermentation. Worse yet, my fermenter had sucked all the liquid out of my airlock so I am convinced that my wort was too hot when I pitched. I think my temp gauge was too close to the edge of my pot...
