So, I changed my Orings in a root beer keg. Looks like they're okay, but now I have a gas leak when I take the co2 Quick disconnect off. Bubbles are around the circle in the middle (poppet?), I've tried replacing orings again, adjusting it with a screwdriver, unscrewing/reseating, keg lubing...

So I brewed a Saison about a week and a half ago, and have kept the fermentation bucket in a water bath at 55-60 for about 5 days, and have let it slowly come up since that. The water is now at 65 degrees. Krausen has dropped quite a bit since Saturday. Am I probably okay to let it come up to...

So I just got done boiling my wort for a lovely saison, hooked up my immersion chiller, turned it on, glanced away for 2 seconds....without realizing that the output hose was directly over my hand.....OUCH! So, thankfully, I didn't hurt myself too badly, but have a nice mild throbbing to my...

So, little humble brag tonight. Found a 3 corny keg ball lock system, 3 faucets (with 2 perlicks), 5lb co2 tank, glass carboy, picnic taps, assorted odds and ends for about 235. Pics tomorrow. Also, If i didn't get a good deal, please tell me so I can feel bad. LOL.

So, I brewed a Nut Brown ale, and it seems to be hitting FG. Hydrometer sample today was 1.006 and it was the same Monday. Can't bottle until Sunday. My problem is that there is an off taste to it. It tastes harsh, and kind of like a acetone taste (like nail polish removal). Smells like...

So, not sure if this is infected, but it looks suspicious. The bubbles are from a spritz of starsan when I sprayed the lid before replacing. about 2 days shy of 2 weeks. some grains noted throughout. opinions? http://imgur.com/a/ZVcOK#6is12df

What a great day. Sundays are meant for homebrewing. I have never enjoyed a hobby this much. I wonder if my inner chemistry geek was coming out. So, I was worried because I bought an all-grain recipe kit and I had the store mill the grain. When it came in the mail, it was all mixed...

So, I'm worried now. I got my extract kit together and had them mill grains before shipping. I got it yesterday, opened up the box, and EVERYTHING is mixed all together, nothing is seperated. So, can I still scale this down to 2.5 gallons, for example, or are all my ratios going to be off?

So, as the title implies, I'm getting ready to brew my first batch! WHOO! I got a English brown ale all grain kit from Brooklyn Homebrew and the yeast. Got my equipment. What did you do to get fully ready for your first brew? Also, since it's an all-grain kit, I should be able to cut the...
