Please take it easy on me for this total newb question that is likely quite dumb... asking for a friend. We’ve gotten a keg of a nitro vanilla bourbon barrel stout (Jameson/Revolution collab) and need help. Do we have any cheap options to pour this beer? I have a CO2 kegerator setup and...

Hello, I brewed over the weekend and as soon as I added my grain and strike water I realized I never added my false bottom to mash tun. I quickly dumped the grains and water into my brew kettle, added the false bottom, and added the grains/water back to mash tun. Anyone else have a similar...
