Is that one of yours? What creates the amount of head? Is it the amount of co2 you use?
Third MW hot sauce just about done. Expect a package in about a month for taste testing. One Siracha style, one with plums and one with mango.
Sounds great - love that pod ...
I really need to try a HS ... I have to freeze more peppers this weekend, again, because I'm not going to have time after work, exercise, and brewing ...
As for the beer, I had just poured it, and the CO2 level is a little above serving pressure because it's still force carb'ing ...
You can sit the keg in there at 8-12 psi and wait a week or two, or you can put it at 30-35 for a night, and then do a couple of days at 15-20, and then get it down there and be drinking sooner etc etc ...
That beer is the one that I lowered the pressure on the regulator, but forgot the purge the extra pressure from the keg, and it overpowered the picnic tap and leaked like a gallon of beer into the keezer floor ...
Enough that it soaked two regular bath towels to sop it up =/ ...
That's the thing about powering ahead at something, though, IMHO ...
Your still going to experience all of the bumps and potholes ... and they're going to come one right after another, too ...
It's all good.
Just means that keg will be done sooner, and that means another can be brewed, and they are getting better and better, all of the time ...
Assuming both the Darkness Everybody and Charliewine (my two most recent) turn out, I'll be 7 for 9.
I share all of the problems in more detail than the success - a picture of beer all over the floor seems more valuable in sharing than a picture of beer in a glass ...
Wheebz is probably the only person who knows how much I'm enjoying it, because we've talked a on the phone a couple of times ...
Make no mistake, despite the anxious moments after each batch waiting to see whether the fermentation's
taken right, I'm absolutely
loving brewing - it's a great hobby.
I think I've crammed a year of brewing into 6 months - but, it's such that I crammed 1 month into the 1st three months, and 11 months into the last 3 months, if you will ...
