• Posted in thread: Kegerator produces all foam on 06-06-2013 at 11:15 PM
  The temperature is in the high 20's / low 30's so I don't think thats the problem. Perhaps the
  colder temperature is actually helping the CO2 absorb better causing excess foam.Now this is a
  dumb quest...

  sourness this...

• Posted in thread: Tipping cooler = zero dead space? on 05-12-2013 at 02:38 PM
  So I shouldn't be tipping the cooler just add more Sparge water or water to the mash.Go ahead
  and tip it at the end: that way you lower the dead space but don't have any channeling
  problems.

  I brewed my first sour on Big Brew: pale malt and white wheat malt (~40%) with Roeselare and

  worth?I hea...
