    Regulator pressure creeping up

    Thanks, looks like I was misreading the maximum on the gauge. It was creeping to 60psi from 40psi. In a minute it would creep 5 psi. It is brand new. I ended up disassembling the regulator (as per the rebuild kit instructions) and found a tiny sliver of metal from machining on the valve...

    elderberries

    I just made an ale with 8 oz of dried elderberries (added in the primary). It came out very tarty and red. I'd be careful about the amount.
