Couldn't tell you unfortunately...long gone.

Upon reflection it was also the first time I tried using Nottingham yeast, and a temp-controlled water bath for fermentation (68 degrees -- 2 weeks primary). With the porter I messed up the rehydration, and after 2 days of no activity I sprinkled a dry packet on top. Fermentation picked up...

So I just filled my keggerator with two beers that have been aging in secondary for 6 months (cool, dark, brew room). I waited for them to carb and then eagerly pull a pint of rye cream ale and vanilla porter... ...and taste apples. In both. I've been over everything -- long primary and...

I have 16 -- they were free from a scrapper. I just had to clean the bejeezus out of them. Solved my pin vs ball lock dillema...they were pin lock, and the price was right. There were actually 19...but 3 had been used as target practice. I have my first-ever kegged beer right now. :rockin:
