Sorry for the late response. Yeah, I force carbonate. I slow CO2 carbonate though. I usually just set it at around 12psi and then drink about 2 weeks later.

I have a couple of wort chillers I don't use much anymore in the corner of the brewery. About 7 weeks ago a Mom cat took up residence in my backyard and had a litter of kittens. 2 of them have decided that the inside of the coils of the wort chillers is where they will hang out now. :D

I understand and I use Beersmith. I also look at Mr. Malty and refer to a lot of Jamil's intel. Long story short, it's reallllllly hard to overpitch yeast. It can be done, but not likely. I knew I needed at least 2 vials per carboy so I figured 3 would rock! And it has.... :mug: :D So...

We did the Southern Star tour today. The people are super nice and accomodating. The beer is great and it's nice to see a local business succeeding and growing. It's definitely cool packaging craft beer in cans.

This is an Abita Amber Clone I made. The video was made about 20 hours after pitching the yeast. It is going nuts!
