Taste Notes

Tasted great and very clear...one of the first of 2 batches I kegged in my new kegerator system. People at the neighborhood party really liked it (and almost drained the batch). This batch blew the top off too, but it didn't hurt the beer.

Notes

Force carbonated it a bit higher little by little, starting with 12 psi and moving to 16 psi after tasting along the way. 16 just tasted right. I did eventually lower it back to 12 to dispense the beer.

I'm liking what I'm reading....

But what exactly did you mean by blowing the top off. What do you think you did to make that happen and what would correct it?
