if you like wheat beer, check out widmer hefe, if you havent already. one of my favorites. cant get it here in MO
Lunchtime pour of herms wheat with a classic sunfire 2 part pour oh yeah baby!
Lookin good!
Weihenstephaner is one of my faves. Good drop that. Good luck with your move. Always some things you'll miss about where you've lived a long time, but always some new things you'll enjoy in the new place too.
Good beer, I think I had it on draft in Seattle back in 2012. I’ll keep my eyes open for that in Eugene.

Looks great Ben.
A very good beer indeed!
Thanks for wishing me well.
Celebrating a safe return home with a tropical IPA. Definitely lost some hop nose in the keg after a week. And there's a more tannic bitterness to the finish than when I tasted it last.
Just remembered that I had to open the keg during transfer because of a tangled dip tube, so loss of hoppiness and off flavor is most likely due to oxidation. Mystery solved
Amen I'm amazed how quick the hop aroma has fadded back on the herms wheat sunfire.
You all saw how hazy it went well with the haze has gone the up front aroma. Yeah if i swirl it I'll release some of that aroma but it's not bursting forth out of the glass.
Next time I do this I'm thinking of putting the hops in that cylinder into the keg I'll be purging.
I'll do this once fermentation has been underway a day to avoid oxidising the hops then when I transfer into the keg the hops will already be in there
.Sound like a good plan?
That's what I do. I leave 2 quarts of sanitizer in the bottom, suspend the hop tube above the liquid, then fill with CO2, purge out the air a few times, and push out the small bit of sanitizer with CO2. Then closed transfer from fermenting keg to serving keg that has hops ready to go and is purged with CO2.Amen I'm amazed how quick the hop aroma has fadded back on the herms wheat sunfire.

It didn't work last time because I dry hopped at high krausen and the floating dip tube got stuck on the hop tube. Won't be doing that again...
Sweet will give this a crack next time.
Yeah I use fermentation gas to purge recieving keg.
I used to do the fill with SMB thing but just send the gas through these days.
Nice. Capturing and recycling CO2 is a neat idea
