    Post broke off of keg.

    As the title states the part my keg post screws to popped off. Is there anything I can do or is it trash now

    Hello, my beer tastes like rubber. (Answered)

    Thank you, Just ordered some, in the past ive been concerned about additives, but I now use whirflock(irish moss) on top of my previously used gelatin for fining, so this can't be so bad.

    Hello, my beer tastes like rubber. (Answered)

    Thank you everyone, I will attempt Purging as I have nothing to lose by leaving the beer in the keg(I have extra kegs that are empty for new beers). I don't know if purging will do it, but it is not something I had thought of and is a great idea. Chlorine could very well be a culprit, I recently...

    Hello, my beer tastes like rubber. (Answered)

    Hello I brewed a beer in december and kegged it about 7 weeks later. The beer now has a rubber taste, when I look up flavors this is stated as autolysis, but could this be residue from pbw or something other? I have about 400 gallons I have brewed in 5 gallon batches, and this is the first time...

    Chronic CO2 tank problems(with different tanks). What am I doing wrong.

    Yes thats totally the piece, but somehow my larger komos regulator peels off the brass ring when i take off the regulator, even if i support the far end so there is no downward or twisting torque. But that is the identical piece, see how it says 3-piece, the rubber oring is one, the brass ring...

    Chronic CO2 tank problems(with different tanks). What am I doing wrong.

    I am not sure what a "leak stopper is" I use an adjustable crescent and generally tighten it down... Too tight could cause this?

    Chronic CO2 tank problems(with different tanks). What am I doing wrong.

    Hello all, I've been using CO2 tanks for sometime(5-6 months), but the last two tanks I've gotten my hands on(our Airgas store doesn't refill only swaps out) the o-ring fitting at the end has come off when I remove my regulator. I remove my regulator whenever I move my tank from home to...

    Wyeast 2124

    I think I may have found the culprit, I put NaCl, CaCO3, and MgSO4 to balance my waters and I realized that I somehow switched my standard Morton NaCl with the iodine NaCl in the kitchen. Im wondering if the iodine didn't cause some cloudiness due to damaging yeast or something, I may also have...

    Wyeast 2124

    Thank you everyone, I will follow up once I brew this again this weekend and have updates on clearing etc. Worst case scenario I'll mash out at a lower temp and buy a new bag of the wyeast 2124, maybe I got a finicky colony. Any tips and tricks of mashing low but still geting a rich malty base...

    Wyeast 2124

    Thank you, Im going to brew it again hopefully this weekend and be extra mindful. Yea I generally gelating fine in the bucket and then use my larger size bouncer(smallest filter, white screen) filter to grab onto the gelating cleared beer and it usually works surprisingly well, but this time for...

    Wyeast 2124

    One other ale had north star pils and it cleared, but this had 23% the other had around 5%

    Wyeast 2124

    Ive had some issues with using decoctions to raise temp(winter outside etc), my decoctions take about 30 minutes each, and it is enough to maintain the temp of the mash, with the mash sometimes with 3 decoctions I run to about 80-90 minutes, but it hasnt caused an issue with clarity before. I...

    Wyeast 2124

    That would also make sense, as lager yeast sits on bottom, I just thought it would have cleared out as ive pulled about 2 gallons out of it for friends.

    Wyeast 2124

    I will try the recipe again and pay extra close attention to temps, but to my knowledge I didnt have any errors. Im pretty consistent with my brewing, going on around 40 brews(not a ton but quite a few, started last year)

    Wyeast 2124

    It was brew in a bag so I put the grains in at 160 and kept it around 155 for 1 hour, I also did a triple decoction, but essentially the three beers I brewed followed almost identical protocols, two ales one lager yeast. Both ales cleared(wyeast scottish and wyeast british ale 2). Beer spent 10...
