    What is the correct response to "Thank You"?

    The right answer is "You're Welcome", "My Pleasure", "Anytime", etc. but NOT "No Problem." I never said there was a problem in the first place!!! /Rant! :drunk: EDIT - I added a poll. It seems that I may be in the minority on this one which I find interesting.

    Leaving the Gas On = Playing with Fire?

    I have always left my kegs on gas at either 30 psi for carbing or at serving pressure at all times (CO2 tank open full with regulator controlling the pressure).

    What's the quickest you've gone from grain to glass?

    Just curious what the quickest you've gone from grain to glass with a low ABV session beer and had good results. It seems to me that the minimum is probably about 10 days which would work for a mild or something like BM's centennial blond (albeit, they will still be pretty green) Anyone ever...
