    NEIPA transfer plan

    If the keg is well purged with co2, I would just drain directly I through the open top of the keg (have done it many times when I had fermenters with spigots). When I did that I would place a hose with co2 trickling into the top of the fermenter (probably over kill) so that co2 would come out...

    From the weekend, first trip to the trailer for the season! Refined Fool in Sarnia (border town to Port Huron Michigan) makes some pretty amazing beer! I have posted about their "Van full of weirdos" before, found this one and had to try it too! Did not taste boozy ata ll for 8.2% I love the...

    Recirculation Uncertainty

    I run my pump to circulate through counter flow chiller towards the end of the boil (also have a Brewzilla). Just prior to circulating I run HOT tap water through the chilling side of the CFC to minimize the temperature drop in the wort returning to the kettle. Losing the boil for a few minutes...

    I agree with Don, as it has been under pressure for 5 days, maybe try 25PSI for a day and try a sample, then another day at 25SI if it isn't there yet.

    looks good! after it settles for a another day or two you will likely a bit more "gunk" on the first pour

    If you are getting good pours, don't change a thing. If you find your pours to be very foamy you could just make longer lines. I find a 10 foot length of 3/16"ID beer line works for me at approximately 12 PSI serving pressure. What the extra line length does is reduce the pressure at the tap...

    Faxe Festbock

    I remember a beer called Faxe, it was 10%, I had it once many years ago. No recollection of what style it might have been.

    Star San

    I will +1 on starsan not causing your "flavor". Good call by @Megary on the chlorine. If you are using municipal water it will have chlorine, or chloromine. Copied for the Canadian Homebrewers Association Site: Chlorophenols specifically make plastic, Band-Aid, and medicinal flavours...

    If there is any hop debris in the keg it is possible that it could block your out post on the keg. I've been there... If this happens, you may just need to remove, rinse and replace it a few times to clear it out. If that is the case, just make sure to sanitize each time. Try not to move the keg...

    Keg it! Better not to leave the beer sitting on the hops too long anyways. Put pressure on it right away, no reason to wait to do that

    Fermentation stop to fast (2nd time 2nd bach)

    Hops expand pretty significantly when they absorb liquid, those bags may be too small.

    I brewed today!

    I used VOSS Kveik in a Porter once. I didn't like it, it had a zingy citrussy flavor. It did fade over time and was enjoyable, but it took quite a while.

    Pressure Fermentation and Carbonation

    I pressure ferment at roughly serving pressure, have found the the carbonation level comes out as expected that way

    It should be fine, as mentioned I only reduce to serving temperature for a day before kegging. A day after kegging and being in your keg fridge anything that is going to drop out of the beer should have dropped. When you first put it in the keg fridge hit it with 30 or 35 PSI for 24 to 30 hours...

    You can definitely just go ahead and keg it. I have the ability to pressurize my fermenter, so that is how I deal keeping o2 out when the beer contracts with cooling.
