Are you using 70% for the mash efficiency? Also, what Saaz hops are you using , German or Czech?

The chip was from liberal application of force by the pliers against the rim of the carboy trying to remove "that damn bung". I don't think it's hurt anything beyond the cosmetic blemish though. I'll check out the orange covers instead, thanks for the tip.

I had a can of Coopers real ale sitting past it best buy date so I "brewed" it up one night real quick. I added about an oz of miscellanious cascade I had sitting in the fridge to dry hop. I also cooked up a 1040 starter, pitching a pack of wyeast London ale and the pack of dry yeast from the...

Just got a chance to pull a glass from the keg after 2 days of 30psi. The hop profile is very well done and certainly not in you're face. Mine missed the color mark with some chill haze and soapy flavors due to letting it sit too long on the primary. Even after the problems in my process...
