One add on question about storing. Lets say I force carbonate this at 15 psi over a coupe days and have a small sample and its all good. Do I leave it at 15psi while its stored or lower it, or maybe turn it off since its now carbonated?

Aceluby, one more dumb dumb question for you please regarding the natural carb route. When its done carbonating in a couple weeks with the hex cap, I assume swaping out that cap with the regulator/tap cap does not cause any issues with loss of carbonation or something like that? Do you still...

Hello! I am a relatively new home brewer making small 1 gallon BIAB batches. I just recently started trying out liquid yeast instead of dry yeast in my brews. My question is this. Wyeast says the following on their website regarding their smackpacks: " The Wyeast Activator Smack Pack is...
