Does anyone ever ferment at really high pressures? I did a recent faktoberfest batch at about 40 psi, and it turned out ok.. I think my hopping and recipe needed some tweaks, but the kveik yeast turned out lagerish with some drastic temperature fluctuations.
I know there is no real reason to go above 40 psi, since that works out to pretty good natural carb rate when brought down to serving temperature. But I’m going on a trip for a few weeks and though I would let my 15 gallon torpedo keg ramp up the pressure some while I was gone, to see what happens. Steam beer, right?
