    tobacco in beer

    Hi All, Anyone ever put tobacco in beer? If so, how? Add tobacco leaves to secondary? Had an awesome stout a few weeks back that had tobacco. Paired really well with the chocolaty notes.

    Metallic taste since adding manifold

    Since adding this manifold (https://www.morebeer.com/products/gas-manifold-4.html?site_id=5), the 2 kegs I have on tap have a metallic taste. The longer they're in the keg, the more prominent that taste is. When I received the manifold I soaked in star san for about an hour. Any ideas?
