So does that beet sugar add a beet kind of flavor?

You didn't list the yeast. Did you use a Wlp570 maybe? Just want to know so i can make it soon, I love that beer.

So the only reason why you can taste the alcohol in the beer is because it fermented at too high of a temperature?

Anyone have any tips or techniques on how to blend in the alcohol so that it isn't the most noticeable thing in the beer. Or is it really all in how the recipe is made?

Wouldn't leaving your co2 tank flow in the keg for 2-3 days, reduce the co2 in your tank by a lot?

What would you think about using vanilla beans instead of the extract? It might give a real rich vanilla flavor to it. The only worry I have, if I did use it is using too much and over powering the beer with vanilla.

Why have the 2-row at 11.10 lbs, is that extra .10 lbs very tasty or something?
