OK thanks guys. I was just worried about c02 escaping and some nasties finding a way in there.

Hi Guys, Just a quick one. I kegged a beer the other day but I haven't had room in the fridge for it yet, so I burped the keg with some co2 and put it aside at room temp. I just checked the relief valve today to make sure there was still a layer of gas in there and there doesn't seem to be very...

http://beerjuggs.com/ Very educational :) Check out the clips section. I found the "Wonders of fermentation" clip quite amusing.

I guess it could be some sort of infection. I've tried all sorts of stuff but the latest was a good soak in a hydrogen peroxide mixture for 24hrs. Anyway, I've decided to go back to basics. Tomorrow I'm going to buy myself a new home brew kit and see how I go with that. Obviouslty I don't...

Hey mate, OK, so I'm not alone :) Atleast I didn't put in as mucn effort as an AG brew, but still, waiting 2 weeks+ to find out its no good is still pretty frustrating. Maybe I worded that earlier post wrong. I mean't that my friend brewed "his" beer at 28 degrees and they turned out better...

Hi Guys, Darren: Yeah I don't think its the kegs now after having a tasting from the hydrometer tube that was poured from the keg, it tasted the the same as it did when I took a sample from the fermenter which I thought tasted good. Yet when I pour a full glassful it is totally different and...

Hey Razz, I've already done that :) I got a seal kit from Ross and replaced them all in both kegs i own. I did a test and poured some beer in the hydrometer tube from the keg just to see if what I said about tasting good from the fermenter was correct and to me it tasted the same as before...

Hey mate, I've done variety of different brews. The latest is a fresh wort pils. I think your right in saying its the beer, but buggered if I know what I'm doing wrong. This latest one I brewed using a saflager yeast in the fridge. I kept the temp at about 12 degrees for 7 days and then racked...

Hi Guys, I've had heaps of trouble making a beer that tastes good since I bought my keg system and I've gone through all sorts of troubleshooting to figure out why. But it's got me thinking that maybe I'm not waiting long enough before I start drinking it, and then when I do and it doesn't...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has brewed one of the new Brewers Selection fresh wort pilseners? I'm wondering what sort of FG reading you got. I'm using a pack of W34/70 that came with it and I forgot to take an SG reading so not really sure where to expect this one to finish. Cheers

Hi Guys, thanks for all the suggestions. I can confidently say that I've cleaned everything that can be taken apart in the kegs and the tap. Anything that come into contact with the beer I cleaned as thoroughly as possible using some of that neo pink stuff and I make sure it is very well rinsed...

Hi guys, Yeah I'm really thinking its the gas at the moment. I was thinking of doing a test just using water. I'll fill a keg with only water and leave it for a few days and taste it. If all is well then I'll carbonate the water with the gas and give it another day or so and see if it has this...

No offence taken mate, I fill the kegs slowly using a tube obviously to avoid oxidising the beer. Before I even start filling the keg I put some c02 in there first so that there are still some vapours in there during the filling process. I just do this so as to have as little chance of oxidising...

Well its been a while since I started this thread, thought I'd post an update. I've been really busy with work and other commitments for the last few months so I had to put the brewing on hold, but now I'm back into the swing of things and I still have this same problem as I did when I started...

Thanks, I'll have another go at getting it apart and clean it out. I'll also check all the kegs parts as others have suggested and see how it goes. Fingers crossed. Cheers Peter

You know what, you may have nailed it. My first attempt at force carbonating using "the ross method" I had a brain failure and turned the dial down on the regulator while it was still connected to the beerout post on the keg. This caused beer to come back through the gas line and some got into...

OK mate, I'll do some investigation tonight. Cheers

Hmmm to be honest I have no idea who makes the beer line. It doesn't look like anything fancy though. Hold on, here's a pic. Cheers

Hehe it's one of those mykegonlegs light green coloured bottles. I bought it when I bought the keg system from the HB shop.

Thanks Ross, just updated my Profile. As you can see I'm in NSW so thanks for the offer but I'll have to try and make it in to my local HB shop on the weekend. Really annoying as both kegs have the same problem too. The only time I've had a decent beer from the tap was when I first bought the...
