Thanks all. The popit valve was clogged with hop residue. Flow 100% improved. Still have a bit of foam but it's manageable. Really appreciate the tip. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

All foam in the line. I did dry hop so I guess I have to open it up and take a look. Thx for the quick reply! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

The more I read hear the more confused I get. After kegging I set my reg to 30psi overnight at 36deg. Next day knocked it down to 20psi. Day 3 I purged to sample and got nothing but a slow drip of foam at 10psi. Cranked up to 20 and got better flow but all foam. Let it go for another day with no...

Not sure what to do next. I let keg cool to 45deg and cranked psi to 30 for 24 hrs. Next day dropped it to 20 psi for another 24 hrs. Day 3 I purged to sample at 12 psi, got mostly foam. Let sit in fridge another day and now beer line only drips foam. I turned up the serving pressure to 20 psi...

Checked line for leaks....all good. It's causing a slow pour even at 12 PSI. Bad pop valve? Connector? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Worked first try. THANKS! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Cleaning a reconditioned keg and removed In and Outs as seen on YouTube. The videos show these little pop up values just falling out. Mine are both stuck. Any suggestions. I have them soaking in one step for now. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

The pumpkin kit was from my LHBS. Volumes are spot on. I calibrated a while ago. I'm guessing the mix is off Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Readings are always low. For instance today's pumpkin ale read 1.045 when kit said it should be 1.068 Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks NY Brew. I'm always concerned that my cook time is off. I tend to go a few minutes longer than directed because I don't know if cook duration is time boiling or just cooking Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

How come I never achieve the OG reading listed with my extract kits? What am I doing wrong? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I'm thinking the beer got oxidized when I opened the keg. Not sure if I purged after closing as I was stunned it was frozen and was focused on thawing it out. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Bottles were on the door. Fridge does not have a freezer compartment. Must have been too close to wall. Most disappointing is that the beer lost all flavor after it thawed. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Just a follow up.....left keg to thaw for a week and what was a nice IPA is now tasteless. Rats! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Noob question.....I'm considering adding a LB of orange blossom honey to a cream ale extract kit from NB in order to up the ABV. Does it matter at what stage of the boil it is added? I've read some do it at flame out? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

New to legging and left an IPA in the fridge for 2 days while away on a business trip. Came home looking forward to a HB and tap was dry. Checked lines and gas and all looked good. Finally opened the corny and found the beer frozen solid??? I had a couple of Heineken bottles in fridge too but...

Thanks Boydster. Time will tell. Appreciate the response. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks Freisste. When you say mixing do you mean in the Primary? I poured 1 gallon of wort into 4 gallons of water per the recipe. Should I have stirred more? Could it be the heavier wort sank to the bottom skewing the OG? Will this effect the alcohol content. Sorry if these are dumb questions...

New to home brewing and have a question around Specific Gravity. Brewing an IPA from an extract kit that lists 1.070 as the OG. I followed instructions to the letter but wound up at 1.045 OG. The only thing I did different from the recipe was strain the wort as I transferred to the primary. I...

Thanks Queequeg. Beer was 1 week in primary and is still fermenting after 11 days in secondary. I'm thinking the lid on the primary leaked because bubble activity was dead when I racked it. Anyway yeast is still active at 70 deg F. I guess I'll wait it out as a little "grass" won't hurt you...
