That is what I was thinking. There shouldn't have been enough "residue" to shift the pH of that sheer amount of water. EDIT: I have been doing a lot of research into this now and everything I have been reading says you shouldn't need to neutralize the acid and a rinse should work fine. Why the...

That's what I was thinking. But at this point the sanitized all the kegs as is. So the question that remains is, will it affect the flavor or cause health issues? I kind of doubt it besides maybe just making the beer ever so slightly more tart. But, since many places have water at 6 ph I really...

I am just interested in whether the pH indicates there is enough acid mix left to alter flavor or ,however unlikely, pose a health risk.

True, but ours is 7.5-8 and we tested the water out of the tap. Out of our first water pipe and into the keg. They all came out at 7.5ish

Hey, so we were passivating some kegs but we ran into some problems during the rinse. Our passivated kegs would not go above 5.5-6 ph no matter how much we rinsed. The first set we tried we did cold water first around 7 1 minute, 10 30 second, and 10 10 second rinses. We then tried hot water and...

Are there a hop database online that you can search for with tags. Rather that just a list of hops sorted by aa/ba, name, use. I am trying to find low aa, high (ish) ba hops with a decent orange aroma/flavor for late addition or dry hopping. Have been having trouble finding anything. But maybe...

Always need more kegs.

Is the barrel still available for local pickup? If so how much?

Count me in

Well that would look sexy in my garage, count me in!
