    Keg don't pour

    I've had this problem before also: The issue is you need liquid in the dip tube to get it to sink. To fill the dip tube with liquid, invert the keg or put it on its side whilst dispensing - this is to get the end of the dip tube below the liquid level and then draw liquid into the dip tube. It...

    What's your least favourite thing about brewing?

    With the the yellow flame you also want to be super careful if brewing anywhere confined as it'll be kicking out a lot of carbon monoxide - which I'm sure you know Is deadly...! My least favourite bit is cleaning - either brew pot (inside) or fermenters.

    Gas Disconnect

    Hi homebrew123. I don't think the connector that the other poster suggested will work. It is for a 3/8 beer line and he thing you have there is a 3/8 stem to 3/16 reducer. To use what you have you need 3/16 gas line and then a connector that converts 3/16 to 3/8 and then the connector that was...

    Leak testing corny

    I often over carb when I force carb my beer - I get frustrated with myself when I that.... I use a combo of pulling up on the Los when filling, using lube when needed, and using new o rings for the lids. Every-so-often I can't get a post to seal - often needs a new poppet valve or a little ptfe...

    Something wrong!?

    Silly idea.... But give it a taste??! (And do a gravity reading). If it tastes okay, it's okay. 2 packets of us05 is over doing it a bit - and quite expensive. 1 is usually enough for a normal strength brew.

    First time cider

    I'd sAy it's the cooker apples that have made it so sour. If you hadn't added a camp den tablet you might of got some malolactic fermentation going (a bacterial infection) which converts malic acid to lactic acid which is less sour. Takes months though - I'm just drinking the last batch of...

    Forgot to add Campden

    Lots of cider makers don't add Camden's and either just use wild yeast or add yeast to the wild yeast already present. I made cider last year and didnt add a Camden. It was fine. You might want to leave it longer and see if you develop something called malolactic fermentation (look it up)

    Help identifying white floating bits please...

    ****! You were lucky! Always amazes me that the glass goes before the cap coming off (that I think most people presume happens). Glad your skin and eyes are intact!
