    Bayou Classic KAB6 banjo burner windscreen mod.

    I have added a heavy duty windscreen heat focus band to my KAB6 burner that I brew with. I now use less gas and have faster heating times. Brewed four batches with a keggle boil pot and this modification is working great. https://goo.gl/photos/13c2yJAchFS9G1yn7

    Bard's Carbonation

    I am perplexed by pouring a Bard's into a glass. This beer seems to have little ability to retain the CO 2 . Is this a problem with Bard's or sorghum malt beers. While I am looking for a dark Gf beer similar to a stout, is Bard's behavior "typical "?
