I think you just solved my BeerSmith problems. I have a feeling this is why I could never get everything dialed in the way I wanted. Thank you, kind sir.

I have my 4-tap keezer filled with beer that I really have no interest in drinking. It's not that they're bad, it's just that I'm never in the mood for any of them. Instead, I've been spending 30-40 bucks a week on commercial micro's. This has been going on for over 3 months now. I don't have...

You had 7 hour brew days for a single 5 gallon batch? Damn that's a long day! My average 5 gal all-grain batch is about 4 hours start to finish and that is long enough. I couldn't imagine tacking on another 3 hours unless I was doing 2 batches back to back. Welcome back!

With current used ball lock prices being insane, a new keg has been a no brainer for me. I just ordered a new keg for a $104 from keg connection which may seem steep but not if you need to throw parts at a used keg you just bought for $60-70 not including shipping. All of my used kegs that I...
