    Force Carbonation Corney Keg Temps!! Help pls!

    Right, I served the keg last night at a party and it served perfectly. I kept the keg cold and ran the beer through a chill plate as well. No foam, no fuss. Gassed it at 10psi and no problem. Thanks for the advice guys! Looking forward to the next kegging session!

    Pilsner Water profile questions!

    I brewed 2 all grain Pilsners last year and they failed dismally. My end result was perfect clarity and carbonation, but the flavour was metallic and somewhat chlorinated and unpleasant in both batches. I still have a few bottles left and nothing has changed.

Did yeast starter in warm (not pasteurized) water , but had to leave it to sit overnight (covered) as I was unable to cool wort down rapidly from the boil, had equipment issues...
