152, iirc and OG 1.047 or so. I didn’t mean that the beer turned out less malty than expected, just that other flavors are dominant in these recipes—hops in one and sour, tequila, salty lime in the other. I did just remember that I forgot to add my acid addition to this mash, and I think that...

So I've used these malts a few times now. First was a double batch of 50/50 pils/wheat. Efficiency was low for me at 70% (usually 75ish). Half got soured and became a Margarita Gose, which I'm really happy with. The other half got an addition of cold-steeped chocolate wheat and lots of Medusa...

Mine's almost done carbing now, but I've been having some anyway. I forgot salt and coriander in the boil, so boiled a cup or two of water for 5 minutes with those in it. This was added while racking to keg, right before the tequila tinctures were added. My first impression was that it was too...

Thanks. Also, I have some dark toast oak chips. I’m guessing that’s not the character we’re going for here, though. Medium toast is the one?

Man, I'm absent minded sometimes. I just boiled after souring for 2 days and forgot to add the salt and coriander! I'll add at kegging. Next step is buying some tequila and oak for tinctures. Any recommendations on a good cheap tequila I could use for this and margaritas (I just bought a house...

I've stocked up a bit on these malts when they had some coupon running (at MoreBeer I think...) and plan on using some pils and wheat in a Gose and session Wheat IPA. I'll see how they turn out, but neither are particularly malt-forward. I'm planning to estimate my efficiency a bit low due to...

I've used this yeast in a hoppy amber, but didn't underpitch or use really high temperature, and it came out well. I'm planning on brewing what I'm going to call a Session Black & White IPA--about 1.045 OG, half pils, half wheat, and a bit of cold steeped roasted wheat for color. I'll be using...

I had this beer on a work trip to Grand Rapids and loved it! Here's what the website says: ABV: 10% IBUs: 20 Availability: May-Sep We love cocktails. Like, really love them. If you ask us, few are more refreshing than the tart and tangy margarita and our latest barrel-aged beer pays tribute to...

Update: Swapped post and dip tube with a tube cut a few mm shorter and cut polished. No dice. Then I moved across town. Beer got warm and this keg got a bit flat (I think CO2 poppet was leaky, but new universals have arrived). I also placed this beer toward the back right and moved the Belgian...

I think so, but I will give it another look when I get some time.

1 No. Stout is more accessible 2 Since the balance is similar to the stout, why isn't it pouring as foamy if that's the issue? That's what I don't get, and why I've been swapping that line for trials. I've never heard of low pressure causing more foam, but I am new at this. Anyone else ever have...

It’s not over carbed. I shut the gas off completely and forgot for a few pours and it wouldn’t even pour. As soon as I turned it back on, it was foaming. I don’t want it lower carbonation than it is. It was at 8 and I lowered it to get it to pour better, but no dice.

I gave the liquid post an extra crank to make sure it's snug on there and not leaking CO2 into the line. Still poured about 50/50. I used higher level of CO2 for a few days, but early in my troubleshooting I shut off gas until it was undercarbed, so I KNOW it's not overcarbed. I'm drinking...

I think there are check valves in the manifold. I’m force carbing, and it’s not over carbed.

So the pour I did this afternoon was about half and half foam and beer. Back to the drawing board. I may swap poppets again to make sure there isn't an issue there (I'm not really sure how far the 3-legged things are supposed to go up into the post, and if that will make a difference. Maybe the...

I was naughty and pulled 6 oz or so for breakfast. after initial foam (expected with tower) it seemed to pour better. Maybe swapping poppet o-rings just took a while to have and effect after everything settled from moving the keg around to do the swap. Thanks for all the replies. I'll report...

I have not tried this. What doesn’t make sense is the stout off the manifold pours fine and isn’t flat. It’s lightly carbed, just how I want it. This discrepancy between two kegs on the same pressure and same regulator used on the same taps is what gets me.

Thanks for the tip. I'll double check, but I replaced the o-rings on all these kegs 2-3 beers ago. I also didn't notice it when changing posts. Is there a general rule about how tight to screw the post down? Would too loose or too tight have a similar effect to failed o-ring?

Dual pressure feeding 12 to the Belgian and 7 to a two way manifold for stout and red.

I'm still new at this, but I'm flummoxed. I ahve one beer pouring 3/4 foam and 1/4 flat beer. I've got a 3 tap setup with a tower. First pour is always a bit more foamy, but fine. Two lines are pouring very well. One is a belgian golden strong at 12 psi and the other is a stout at 7 psi. The...
