I'm a newb to making beer. Only made two "beer kits" a few years ago, but now want to get back into it. Eventually I want to make my own beer from scratch, but first I want to experiment with the easy kits. I made a new batch today with a kit. The yeast was 2 years past its expiry date...

I brewed a few beers and have them in soda keys, plus I also had one wine in the same soda keg. They have been connected to my co2 and bar taps for about 2 months with no use. I assume the beer and wine lasts in the kegs for a very long time, but being that I left the co2 on would that have...

I'm a newb to the homebrewing including my newly setup 4 tap beer tower with 4 cornies. When I was first setting it all up, I made sure to connect all the hoss to the quick connect adapters very well using hose clamps - also made sure hose clamps were used on the connection to the co2 bottle...

I'm new to the homebrew thing. Recently got my 4 tap beer tower all plumbed to my four cornies - now I need to fill them with some good stuff. I've now made a total of two beer batches - one was done about 3 weeks ago and is not bad at all - the other is still in the primary and will be...

I've got 4 cornelius 19L kegs - three are the standard tall/thin ones and one is a Coke corny which is slightly shorter and a little fatter (22" x 9" to be exact versus the 25" x 8.5"). I'm looking for a small bar fridge that will fit all of them. I'm limited to about 35" height and about...

Total newb here (but hooked). I recently bought a 4-tap beer tower for my bar and now have 4 kegs. I plan to have one beer, one wine (sparkling of course due to the co2), one cooler, and now one Coke for mixed drinks. I got a bud that works for Coke, and I was able to buy a new and full Coke...

I just started my 2nd batch. I took the OG at 1034 and the kit says it will be done when FG is at approx 1010. Based on my OG, I estimate that the beer will be about 3%. For my first beer that I made a few weeks ago, its OG was 1032 and also ended at about the same FG and thus was 3%. So...

I just bought all my home beer equipment including home-making kits, various 19L kegs, co2, taps, etc. Currently I'm making beer, but I want to make some wine too. Can I put a batch of wine into a keg and carb it at 10psi so it pours nice out of my taps? Will the wine last in the keg? Will...

My first batrch was done last week. I went with the full keg and co2 setup. Was told that I could either carb it by introducing 50-60psi then disconnect co2 and leave for a few days or introduce 30psi and leave it connected for 2 to 3 days OR add 65pis and disconnect from co2 and shake for 30...

I just bought all my brew equipment including 20 pound co2 bottle, various kegs and taps. I'm about to keg my first batch and read that I should leave the co2 on at 25-30psi for 2-3 days for proper carbonation. I was at the local ubrew earlier this week, and they said NOT to ever leave the...

Just started my first batch last Sunday, which had a OG of 1032. It had a lot of krausen for the first 4 days - I tested the FG at that time at 1016. Now after seven it has very little krausen so I decided to transfer to my secondary carboy and airlock and test FG again - this time it was...

I just got into homebrewing and kegging over the holidays. Was at one of my in-laws and he had the whole keg and tap setup which got me excited to do the same. He however makes his brew at the local u-brew (actually the u-brew makes it, he just fills up his keg). I though want to make my own...

I'm just getting started with brewing my own beer from home. Just started my first batch this Sunday - hopefully it will taste good. My question is that a bud gave me three old beer kits that he never used. These are the standard kits in a sealed can with the pouch of yeast. Two of the...
