My regulator seems to either set the pressure to high or to low no matter how I set it. I think it's getting worn out! I don't mind spending some money getting a good quality one but I've never bought one just used the one my Kegerator came with about 2 or 3 years ago. Anyone have any...

I plan to rack my Oktoberfest beer into the keg for lagering and want to use that yeast cake to pitch into my Czech dark lager that I'm brewing Saturday. I didn't know if I needed to wash that yeast before using it to make my starter tonight or just leave the carboy in the lagering fridge and...

Hey everybody! I pitched the yeast for my first lager Sunday night and keep getting conflicting information from the website for wlp820 for the best temperature range. My temp has been steady around 48 to 50 for the first 3 days and I saw a bubble in the airlock every 30 seconds this morning. I...

I just brewed a batch this evening and tasted the amount I pulled out of the carboy for my OG test and it seems really close. I did fiddle with the kit and add a 1/2 cup of local honey and an extra 3.3lb can of golden light lme just to see if I could make it closer to double dead guy and got...
