Poking to get a dual tower, anybody have any recommendations for a cheap place? Keg connection looks like the best bet so far

Can't seem to figure out how my system is leaking. I left for a couple days and I came back and there was no pressure in the keg and the psi was down to 0. The psi only seems to drop to 0 when I drop the pressure down to 4 or lower but I would think there would still be pressure in the keg...

Hello I kegged my first beer (stout) four days ago and was wondering when I should try it. I have the psi set to around 5-6 and wasnt sure if I should lower it. I was also wondering if you have to keep the disconnect on the keg once you try or if you can take it off Thanks

Hey all I just took the fg reading of a cream stout and it was 1.022, I assume there is something wrong. My og was 1.045 which would make the abv around 3% I believe. Any ideas what could have caused this. I racked to secondary after 10 Days and kegged after about a month. Thanks

Just opened my first bottle (chocolate milk stout) and its actually good. I was pretty worried because I did the mr beer kits and they tasted like crap. Now I'm not so hesitant to start kegging.

I have a sweet stout in the primary and was wondering if it's ok to put the coconut on top of the stout after fermentation is complete, or if I should rack the stout on top of the coconut in a secondary Thanks

I'm sure this has been asked before but I searched and couldn't find anything. My wyeast packet was shipped to me already swelled and I assume this ruined the yeast. It was shipped with an ice pack but it was already warm by the time it got to my house. Is there anyway to still use it or should...

Hey guys I just started brewing and became addicted quickly. I've been reading this site for a while now and it has really helped. I currently have a chocolate milk stout in the secondary and was wondering how temperature changes throughout the day can affect the beer. I live in Florida and...
