I've been consistently having low efficiency in beersmith prior to any of this. Checked with three hydrometers and tested in water prior. Taste not so much, doesn't linger but fell, yes fairly thin to my taste

Visible no weirdness, and taste wise no as well. Other than an obvious lack of body I'm assuming due to lower gravity

Yes, but from all research I've done the lallemand sour pitch is extremely hop intolerant, and there's really little fear of it affecting hoppy brews. And i had the same issue with the prior brew before the sour.

No worries. 1. 148 mash, notty pitched. 1.052 -1.004. 92% attenuation 2. 154 mash. Us05 Co pitched with lallemand sour pitch. Raspberries added later in fermentation which maybe accounts for some peculiarities.1.044 - 1.004. 89.7% fermentation 3. 152 mash. Us05. 1.050 - 1.004 91.7 %...

Not sure this is the correct space for this but last 3 brews I made have been heavily over attenuated ( all around 89-92 percent). One a galaxy pale ale with nottingham mashed at around 148 -149 ... missed my temp but I dont think that would account for it getting that high. One a mixed...

This turned out great! Used raspberries and it's very prominent

Brewed this one up last Sunday. Everything went great, looking forward to kegging this.

So I brewed this to recipe exact minus gelatin and got this hazy beast. I dont quite know what happened to produce this outcome, tastes great though.

Gonna be brewing this up on Saturday, first time making a sour. Following the original recipe exactly. Looking forward to it.

I may start doing just that once I correct my problem. I'll see how it goes. At least my issue was glaringly obvious

I thought the same. Planning to replace with nylon washer as the groove there really isn't deep at all and still going to run over the system in case there were any other silly mistakes made

Well I know there's supposed to be a washer here, didn't notice that.

btw thanks for the tips

just frustrating its on my first shot. live and learn.

I'll definitely give that a go. I have a 2 way gas manifold so I'm assuming I could slowly pressurize it over the course of a couple days bit by bit (first reg, then manifold, then keg) to isolate where any potential leaks are ...

I guess that's part of my concern, not planning on opening things up and checking seals unless that becomes a last resort. Was just more concerned about the lag time between now and when I'm able to reup on gas. I know it's only 2 days, but want to be careful.

if this continues to be an issue, I may reach that level lol

As far as I know how, prior to filling my first keg I pressurized the system and ran star san through it. Checked the posts with a spray bottle, checked the lid as well and didn't notice any bubbling or issues on either side.

So this has been my first time kegging, first keg. I set it and forget it two weeks ago at 12 psi, prior to doing so soap tested the entire system for leaks (found none) and everything has been fine, it held and carbonated the beer. At one point I checked the gauges and it had raised to 15, I...
