75-78 is pretty high to pitch. You're likely to get some major off flavors. Of course it depends on your type of yeast too. I usually pitch my yeast at about 64-67 and leave it there if you can. Happy brewing!

If a code is available, I would love one too.

This stuff is truly amazing... probably my favorite beer. Has anyone found a clone or worked up one?

That's really nice looking! Great job!

Please keep us updated on your progress!

This is nice. I'm about to build mine and wanted some more ideas. Could you tell me what size wood you used for your collar?

It's not my favorite thing to do, but yeah, it can be relaxing and gratifying to get to crack open that bottle when it's ice cold and ready to pour. I've also recently switched to kegging and am glad I did though

I'm glad I searched for this. I just kegged my first batch today and had the same questions about the psi drop! Thank you!

Crisis averted! So all I had to do was put it facing down and as soon as I heard this, I could hear a very loud hissing (since it was at 30 psi). I then checked the pressure relief valve at it was hissing loud! I did that about 8-9 times as what i've seen so hopefully my beer wasn't ruined...

Yeah, I turned it to the left. Is that right? God I'm so new at this stuff.

I tried again, turned the co2 valve to the left from down, and cranked it up to 30 psi. After about 30 seconds, the pressure relief valve hissed a little bit but not much. It's been running for about 3 mins at 30 psi and I've tried to pull up the pressure relief valve and now I'm not getting a...
