Update 10/26: LLBeanJ was correct, what I thought was a leak was the beer absorbing the CO2. The co2 pressure has stabilized has not moved for 2 days. Why one keg absorbed more CO2 faster? In not sure, perhaps there was more beer in one vessel than the other.... Thanks!

I considered that also, but it would not explain why the beer from keg #1 diffuses at significantly slower rate than keg #2 - the beer is from the same batch.

I have a 10 gallon batch that I put into 2 (new to me) used kegs. Prior to putting beer into the kegs, cleaned, replaced and lubed every o-ring. Did a pressure test for 48 hours. Both held that pressure and did not have any soap bubbles during the test. Since I had a keg in the fridge, I...

I bought it from Adventures in home brewing. Link: http://www.homebrewing.org/5-Gallon-Low-Profile-Keg-Used-_p_3545.html Im just worried about lower quality metals being used...

Was looking for some used kegs that were the dimensions of the coke (pin) style corny keg that were converted over to ball lock style. Found something similar, so I ordered it online. What I received was a corny keg that had a company called "Doosan" on the rubber ends but what looks like a...

I am going to brew up some centennial blonde ale tomorrow, the instructions call for adding .25 oz cascade hop pellets at 50 min into boil and .25 oz at 55minutes . Could I substitute the fresh hops that I picked? If so how much and when should I add the fresh hops considering the...

So would there be a problem in waiting for this mystery fermentation to stop? Its been one more week (total of 3 weeks in secondary) so far and it doest seem to be letting up.

So I brewed the centennial blonde beer for the first time. Followed the extract version of the instructions and started with a 1.044 gravity. The original time for fermentation calls for 4days primary/ 5 days secondary / bottling. I thought that was a bit fast so I planned on 10d primary /...

Responses make sense. Thanks However, what would the fall out if one would transfer to the secondary and the fermentation is near completing and the bubbling has slowed to (almost nothing) and the SP is close to the FG (but not quite there) Could all these not complete in the secondary ?

to those who do rack to a secondary, Is there a general rule to guide you? All my experience (so far) has come from the prepackaged 'beer in box' which explicitly tells you time and the FG to aim for. However, I tried out the 'centennial blonde' recipe and although the author give you an...

I putting together a crate and I was wondering if anyone could take a tape measure and tell me the circumference of a 6 or 6.5 glass carboy? I have a 5 gallon carboy which fits, and Im hoping the the 6.5 and 6 gallons carboys are the same circumference as the 5's but just taller. Maybe...

Thanks for all the fast suggestions, I guess I got concerned prematurely, because I just got back - looked in the fridge and it started bubbling. Seems it was off by a day (as per the instructions) Whew.... However, I do have to ask, if the OG was 1.040, and suppose I hadn't seen any...

Tried my first pilsner (lager) so I bought Brewers best Continental Pilsner. Followed the instructions on making the wort cooling it, pitching their supplied yeast. I placed the primary into my fridge which cooled it to around 53-51 degrees. (directions indicate 53 to 59 during primary...
