I am in the UP(Michigan)

Glad they made it safe! I enjoy darker beers, sours and anything belgian. Ill try an IPA but usually not a go to beer for me. Thanks!

All good here, besides not having any left ;)

Tracking sent, package should be picked up within the hour!

I dont see why not. If its not fully carbed though that pressure may go down so keep an eye on it. However, if you do add a new cartridge I wouldn't crank it up to 15. I would set it at your desired pressure and leave it otherwise you may overcarb it slightly.

Chances are you are nearly out of CO2. If you want more carbonation youll have to depressurize and change out the canister. 12 psi @ 38° is spot on carb for most ales if it is equalized. You will still need to change it out once you start serving though or the pressure will drop with each pour.

Has anyone converted one of these to a kegerator? I know I saw a couple full size coolers on here but have not seen any examples of this type. I can fit five pinlocks on the floor and have room for a shelf of bottles on top. Just want to see some examples of them dressed up and where people have...

@j1laskey I'm on my second brew of this one. The first time around I did 2 oz roughly crushed(food processor with a plastic blade) @ 15' and I feel the juniper was there but I found myself wanting a little more of it. I am actually brewing it again this weekend and am changing up my spices a...

In my recent research the average startup brewery produces 5 gallons of wastewater to every gallon brewed. So your high for HB but pretty much inline with "commercial" standards ;) How are you chilling? Are you not factoring that into your totals?

Im in the Upper Peninsula of MI. Breweries are few and far between, at least by me. But there are some good ones with some unique brews.

@HopsAreGood , Ill jump on this and get to collecting this weekend. Im not working next week so I should be able to venture out to some breweries. Ill shoot for shipping either the 13th or the 20th depending on how quickly I can collect. I saw your preferences but are there any styles that you...

@HopsAreGood , I want to get in on this but will need a few weeks to make sure I can get around and get some beers. Ill let you know for sure after this weekend.

Glad you liked them! As you can see the Red turned out a little darker than I had hoped(adjusted this time around) but I was really surprised with the complexity from the 1st Gen 3278.

They've gone up in price a bit since I bought them but these are the ones I got. Recommended from threads I was following at the time and they do not disappoint. Swanson Probiotics

They are 10 billion CFU caps, so roughly 2.6 million/ml @ 1 cap/gallon

I use just L. Plantarum(1 cap/gallon) and co-pitch. It sours nicely, is very predictable and is extremely hop-intolerant. I have not had any sour "infections" of my normal ales and lagers using the same two carboys. Just a normal pbw wash after fermentation and a starsan soak prior to filling.

With a kettle sour it is hard to determine how sour it is by taste. There is alot of sugar in your wort at this point and will mask the sourness. It is probably as sour as it is going to get so I would probably move on with what you were planning on doing at this point! In the future if you are...

Cracked open Ygritte tonight @fourfarthing. Definitely an awesome mistake! I would definitely be remaking this one.

cam is right. I’m sorry my math was backwards(in my head). You should have carbed around 2.5 psi.

Thats what I was thinking too. 10 psi is slightly overcarbed for your blend but I wouldn't think that would change the flow rate at the spout. For reference, whatever you set you beergas at you divide by four(25% CO2 Beergas) if you want to pre carb with straight CO2.
