Count me in!

I’m not going to lose any sleep over it, but it is a little irritating that at post #14 my request was skipped. Love your products - I’ve purchased multiple “meat” thermometers for home, friends and family after getting the discount on my original here for brewing.

Thanks Inkbird!

I’m in. Good luck all!

Looks great!

After I filled and sealed the kegs, I connected the gas in and set PSI to about 20. Let the keg fill and then purged from the keg pressure valve probably 10 times. Fermentation was in a glass carboy in a temp controlled mini-fridge with airlock filled with sanitizer. It sat for about 4 weeks...

I measured my gravity and its sitting at 1.010 so it looks like it's done. I'll give it another day or so before I cold crash. I started at 1.040 so ABV sitting close to 4% and it tastes good. Not bad for the first successful brew!

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice!
