I don't know how to describe the flavor - I have no idea what to say about it. Ok, I'll give it a shot: disgusting. That's about the best I can do...
I described it before, here. But I don't know if that's accurate or not.
Please, for the love of god, let me know. I have been thinking how great it would be if I could watch and learn or have someone critique my technique. I'd really appreciate that, Germey! I just wish I had some from my last batch (that actually turned out good) to say thanks.

Can I hit them with 50 psi and let that absorb for a week?
Easy solution, guys:
I have a 15lb nitrous tank in my trunk 24/7. It's been in there for 8 years. In the middle of summer in South Carolina in months of 100 degree days, I kept a beach towel and a small container of water in the trunk. A soaked towel draped over the top is all that is needed...
