WTH?!?! Sorry to hear that. I'll send you a new set. Anyone else have this happen?

Yep, we got TBC's, as well. Shipped out everything today. Learned that UPS will not ship a wine box, even though the one I was attempting to ship did not contain any wine or any other type of alcohol. Nope, definitely not. Luckily only one of the boxes was of that type.

Belgian Quad Label

Bottled the Caramel Quad last night. Talked to calandryll; he's on track for the Gruit.

Racked the Quad to secondary for a few months at 58F (unless someone has another suggested temp).

Brewed the Caramel Quad today. Forgot to get a photo of the caramel, but...

Works for me. Thanks.

...and this will save on shipping, as you can send two sets to one of us.

Dang. Thanks!

Kieselsol and Chitosan

Instructions on my wine kit (Italian Nebbiolo, Grand Cru, if that matters) say to keep wine in secondary (after degassing, adding clearing agents etc) at 59-66F. Mine has been sitting at probably an average of 55-57. Does that affect the length of time it should take to clear?

Interesting. Sorry to go back to this same thing again, but 15 PSI seems pretty high for tapping right into the keg. Have you tried like 5? There's not a whole lot on nitro around here, either. I'm not a HUGE fan, but enough of one to do Nitro on one of my (6) taps. It's really cool, but I...

I'm not quite getting why the beergas allows you to hook tap right up to keg with no foaming issues but CO2 does not. Have you tried turning the CO2 down to levels you'd intuitiviely think are way too low? Actually, I be others can help you with that more. I'll just say this: Getting the...

...and I'd think, even if it wasn't already carbed, using beergas would result in no carbonation. But even if you first carbed with CO2, then switched to beergas just to push it, it would still start to give up some of the CO2. Regardles, yes, unless for some reason you have access to cheap...

You mentioned you're using the beergas to push the beer. Is this after carbing with CO2? No idea about the elevation, but my understanding is that the PSI read by your gauge would be relative to atmospheric/ambient pressure. So I'd think your 15 PSI is not as much pressure as MY PSI (at close...

Yeah I think with a batch size that large I'd want to be as careful as possible. ...spare no expense, so to speak.

You could also brew a regular 5 gallon batch of beer that you'll drink and use the whole yeast cake for your large batch. Looks like a fresh 200B yeast would get you at least most of the way there for a 1bbl batch...of course it depends on its OG, etc. On the other hand for such a large...

Thanks TBC...please put me down for the Caramel Quad, East!

I say yes to all those things, and if at any point you need a hand just let me know!
