Right on..... Tank was at 70F much of the time before going to the garage which was only 10-15 degrees cooler, tops. A CO2 o-ring shredding jet caused the icing.

So.... AWARD WINNING BEER! Won both the Best of Show and the People's Choice awards at the Bacon & Brew HaHa on Sunday. There were 7 brewers there, and about 12-14 beers that were judged. Thanks to passedpawn for starting this thread and inventing this recipe!!!

2 full cornies so far...

The guy at Dick's put a paintball one on. So I rolled win that. I do have some Home Depot 10 packs of #9 and #10 to use as backups. I took the tank in wit me and tried them both on. Both fit, but wasn't sure which was best so I bougt both.

Worked without a hitch last night. O-ring was the culprit. And I think I have enough gas to serve another keg today. Thanks for the help guys!

That sounds like a solid plan... I may very well try that!

Strass the regulator is brand new but I checked it anyway just now. I have everything assembled and it seems good. I keg lubed the o-ring. I used vice grips and pliers to really tighten the adapter to the regulator. Then I used the grips to hold the bolt and screw in the tank. Seems awesome now...

Keg lube? So there is a dearth of paintball-only places here... Really the only choices are Dick's and Gander Mt. Dick's has o-rings for themselves, but do not sell them any longer. Don't sell rupture discs either. Gander Mt. didn't have ****. Dick's guy said that the disc was fine, and...

Great advice, all! Last night after things started thawing out, I was playing with the relief valve on the cylinder. I can open it and close it with pliers. So... I don't think the disc is ruptured since I can close it and it holds pressure/stops the gas. Does that make sense? Thing is...

Two more things... I did not have it hooked up with a hose to the keg... need to buy tubing tomorrow. Also, when returning keg to garage, the cylinder may have tilted up to 45 degrees from vertical.... There's no beer in that keg, and holding by one handle, it tilted.

Rigging up a portable serving keg for Saturday night. Have a 12 oz paintball cylinder with an adapter, into a single gauge regulator. Regulator is brand new, just got it today. Cylinder was used. I hooked everything up and had the gas shutoff closed on the regulator. I put it away in the...

It's a hefe, drink it is soon as you can

If that's how the calculations work out, sure.

So this turned out wonderfully!!! It's smokey, but not overpowering. Has the sweetness mentioned by the OP. My hope is that this weekend, it complements all the bacon dishes that are to be served at the Bacon & Brew HaHa. Some pics:

What other thoughts? I feel it's the best way to extract the oils from the zest. Don't automatically dump it all in - add it to taste when you're bottling/kegging. I am getting those right now too... Especially the sulfur a few days ago. On the bright side, the sulfur is on the outside now...

My efficiency is around 68%... If yours was lower, you'd have to up the amounts a bit. Any recipe I find online, I always plug into Beertools and check that first when I adjust for my own efficiency.

Original grav and starting grav... same thing. The difference between that and your FG final grav would tell me if somethings off. But we can't say for sure now... I'd say keep it fermenting though... 1.010 is sligtly high I think...

What was OG?

The one on my site is the latest incarnation... one that is still fermenting, so the jury is out. I'll try to report later in the week when I sample some. So what would I change? I'd change to the recipe on my site, as I just did. As far as yours goes, that should be good too. No reason why it...

In a wheat beer.... I might try Sorachi Ace for a lemony finish... Or some Citra. Something on the citrusy side of things. (Didn't mean to be a dick, guys!)
