Is there any benefit to priming kegged beer w/ dme versus force carbonating? What are people's preferences? I have only always force carb'd my beer with good results, but am curious if I am missing something...

DeRoux's Broux said:????? why do you say you need active yeast to force carbonate??????
ajf said:Too much homebrew while brewing current batch. Sorry, mistake corrected.
-a.

But off of that soapbox, and on to another...I'm beginning to suspect that the Pacific Northwest is on the verge of outnumbering us Tejans on this forum. I'm not sure what that means, but I have to say I'm troubled.
I lived in Tacoma for 4 years...my only hope is that I get to move back there someday...right now I'm aiming for Houston, BC.Ed_Savage said:Stop by and visit sometime El Pistolero! You might like the NW.
