The hissing was from the faucet (Vent-matics). I think the regulator is not dispensing much gas from the first secondary regulator. I did a little tinkering today to see if I could get some answers. I opened the faucet after purging the keg and hooking up to the suspect regulator's...

Wife's going to do yoga and dinner at her friend's tonight so I'm going to get up under this keggerator and figure it out. I can dispense on all faucets by not using the gas lines from the other two regulators & distributors. When I switched the gas line on these kegs, it started adding...

First thing I checked was the ball lock couplers were correct and kegs had beer (both new with >3/4 beer in keg). It dispensed some foam very slowly (not a high powered hiss) before it only hissed. I think it's something wrong in the regulator or distributor, but I don't know much about the...

Longtime lurker. Love the forum. I've have a retrofitted True three 1/2 bbl system that now holds 10 cornies and has six taps for 2 years. While trying to fill some growlers I found out two of my taps are not dispensing. When I pull the tap, gas hisses out of the faucet, but no beer is...

Aaron made the yeast starter yesterday. We're brewing on Sunday. It seems to be a very basic recipe for all grain so fingers are crossed. Since we alternate brewing a beer for me and brewing one for him, I'm really hoping this turns out as this one is for me. Midas touch.

Thanks so much for all the tips. You guys are great.

It's a 7 gallon. We're going to give the first brew a shot this weekend but I have a feeling we'll need to upgrade.

Thanks for the tips. I think our thermometer is up to snuff but our pot may not be large enough. Only time will tell.

We've read the books and watched the tutorials. But that doesn't mean we haven't missed something. What were the common beginner mistakes that you made? Thanks - aaronanddelania

I am a novice cider maker but I've had awesome luck, in part due to the Yeast Experiment from HomeBrewTalk. My friends have requested a novice-level cider walk-through and my husband and I came up with this. PLEASE give me feedback and let me know how we can improve our cider and/or our post...

Sorry if this has been posted, but what is the batch size prior to adding the juice? Definitely making this very soon.

We have a Mack & Jack African Amber and a chocolate stout due this week. Fingers crossed.

We're fairly new to brewing and, so far, there have been definite flaws with each brew. Finally we brewed a delicious Fat Tire clone. As we cannot get Fat Tire in our area, I have nothing to compare it to but memories. Still, it's a brown ale I'm not ashamed to share. A big thanks to all the...

Sonoma White Chocolate Ale (drank once in AZ, can't replicate it) and Petrus Red (cherry Flemish).

Revvy, thanks so much. That is a weight off our minds. Being really new to this we follow the instructions to a tee. We take our readings at the temperature we are fermenting at but we may not be mixing long enough after adding water. We are careful to only go to 5.0 gallons. Thanks again. Great...
