So I brewed this oatmeal stout and then added a little vodka which I had my vanilla beans soaking in. Just gave a little taste and I can really pick up on the alcohol from the vodka.

So I got a kegerator setup now out of my sanyo 4912 with perlick 575s. I kegged it last Tuesday and decided to give it a try. When I did the beer came out foamy and really fast. I poured Another glass just to make sure it wasn't just the first glass. I only set the regulator to 10 and that was...
