I just do the set and forget at 10psi. Works perfect and I have carbed beer in a week.

I have a feeling I already know my issue but figured I'd post here just to get some clarification. The last two pale ales I've done have come out a bit darker than I'd expect, one almost to the point of looking like a brown ale. I think the problem stems from using a turkey fryer...

Kegging is so much easier.

Finally started kegging a little over a week ago. Left keg is AHS Lawnmower Lager and right is AHS Low Carb Ale AHS Low Carb Ale in a classic Stardust mug that my brother got me. This is a pretty tasty beer for it being low carb. Great light drinking beer for this hot Houston weather...

Might want to put on a blowoff tube.

I really liked Austin Home Brews Texas Blonde. It was excellent.

Why rush it? In the end you'll be disappointed with the end result.

Yes, it will clear if left in the primary.

Bottle Irish Summer Ale and Honey Blond Ale Friday. Brewing AHS Low Carb Ale Saturday and then Karankawa Pale Ale Sunday. Going to be a busy weekend.

I am going to do my first ale in my fridge with johnson controller this weekend and I was wondering what temperature to set the controller at. I was thinking 65* degrees since it has a +/- range of 4*. Any thoughts/suggestions?

AHS Texas Blond Ale with Kolsch yeast.

Excuse my ignorance but won't this possibly introduce oxidation since you will be pulling through the cheesecloth/hop bag holes?

Just keep the siphon a little above the trub. You should be able to see the trub in the siphon tubing if you are too close, just pull up a little and it should start to flow clear. That's how I do it. I get a little sediment in the bottling bucket but nothing major.

Only thing I'm upset about is that I was stupid and didn't buy any of the anniversary kits.
