First beer (Resilience IPA) is in the keg and carbing. Definitely did not hit my numbers, but hopefully it'll be a sessionable variant. SG was 1.046 and FG 1.012, so right around 4.6% ABV, whereas it's supposed to be 6.8%.
Pressure transfer from the SSB BrewBucket worked awesome, definitely glad I went with that setup. Still a pretty good hop/trub cake in the bottom despite using a spider in the kettle, but I didn't draw any in even with the tube turned all the way down.
So not where I want it to be, but so far I'd say it's "good enough" for my first ever brew. Hopefully the results are drinkable.
That will probably be my first beer on my Brew-Boss setup. Will also be my first kegging experience. I plan to do a pressurized transfer from my anvil bucket as well. So we shall see how mine turns out.
