Pliney is a fantastic DIPA. But in the end it's still just a beer. And sure there are other equally good beers out there but then again I would say they aren't all that common either.

Sweet!

After it slows done you can increase the temp slowly to help the yeast fully attenuate. I like to bump mine up about a degree a day after the first day or two until I reach a set point, usually 68/69 for me, depending on the beer of course.

I would definitely drop the temp a bit, just not so much you shock the yeast or something.

Welcome!!!

Oh, I was just rooting for my name is all. No intense feelings felt or implied. :)

Your beer will ferment higher than the ambient temperature, so it would likely create cleaner better tasting beer. However your need for it may be less pressing than people who live in warmer climes.

Blast from the Past, that movie kills me.

Whole Hog also hosts the local homebrew club Big Brew Theory if you're interested in meeting up with other local homebrewers.

Oh and do not know about any other specialty gases, you would have to ask, but I kind of doubt it.

My tank fill today was $21 for a 10lb tank at Brandco. There is a $15 minimum charge so a 5 lb tank would probably be similar. Cheers!
