I would imagine that yes, kegs are shipped pressurized and therefore if you connect the keg with no pressure or specifically anything with less pressure than the keg that something will come out of the keg to equalize the pressure. A full keg could totally spew out of the gas in port with...

I'm no cider expert, but 7 days seems a little short to me. To be sure that fermentation is done you'll need to make two separate measurements a few days apart and not see any change in the reading.

There are hop extract oils, though I cant speak to their usage... http://www.hoptech.com/collections/hop-oils-extracts/bitter

Last night I ended up going to New Belgium for a flight and then one more, the anniversary beer thats pretty much only at the brewhouse. The property was beautiful and they had plenty of smaller batches available so I wasnt bored with the selection, though it seemed the majority were sours. I...

haha, yup. I misspoke, 1.5 gallons of starsan (concentrate) would be dumb... 1.5 gallons of starsan solution is hopefully clearly what I meant.

Luckily Im not too into swag so thats not a deal breaker for me per-se. I think I may hold off SN until I can enjoy it during the day sometime (likely would not get there until around sunset... which would be pretty sweet if I could ensure I had a beer and a view for sunset

I normally pour ~1.5 gallons of starsan into a carboy before swirling/shaking to coat the interior surface before dumping it out and leaving the carboy upside down draining until Im ready for it. It will be pretty costly to make 5 gallons for each batch! Before I digress more, dont fear the...

Thats very sad to see, I followed the construction of the new SN plant and have long admired photos of the property. Sad to hear I may have put it on a pedestal. Thanks for the review about ABC, did you make it to hi-wire next door at all?

New Belgium, French Broad and Highland for starters, lol. I like Greenman (open till 9pm), not terribly crazy about Catawba.. Burial (open till 10) very well may be the night cap after wherever I end up earlier.

Ive been able to get over a dozen varieties between the two breweries at home for years now, Im more looking for the small batch brews that dont get distributed. Between the two breweries Id have to say that I prefer Sierra Nevada, but I also havent been terribly disappointed by either.

You skipped the part where I was at Asheville pizza & brewing Monday and Wicked Weed yesterday ;p Parking in downtown sucks so much that tonight I limited my search to places with parking lots (and preferably a kitchen)

LOL, nope! I love my job and the fact that I am more or less getting paid to enjoy my evenings this week hitting up breweries. Besides its not like they are the only two breweries in Asheville. I have spent the last two nights and enjoyed some great beers at two other breweries, tonight is...

Well i think I answered myself, New Belgium is only open till 8pm, so I think Sierra Nevada it is (open till 9 which means that I can enjoy ~30 more min there)

I hit up WW last night and was thrilled to discover the tasting room downstairs before I left so I stayed for a few more!

Im not too crazy about Highland beers, they also close at 8 so I could only guarantee 90 min there

Ive spent the last two nights checking out some local spots and tonight I have a tough decision to make New Belgium brewery is 5 min from my hotel Sierra Nevada brewery is 20 min from my hotel... Im having a really tough time choosing between the two (and I probably shouldnt do both...

Im interested as well!

Count me in!

I cant wait to see some more pictures. Good luck and keep us posted!

I ran into something similar yesterday. "White House" fresh pressed cider. No sugar, no artificial, not from concentrate. I was initially concerned by how much cheaper it was but I kinda dig all the dregs swishing around at the bottom of the bottle. If I remember I'll post back in many months...
