Several updates today.  The whirlpool IPA is ontap and I am very happy with the result.  It has that juicy hop character while not being very bitter.

I also picked up my share of the bourbon barrel stout and it is awesome.  Far better than I was even expecting.  It has a nice nose on it but the flavor is not overpowering and complements the beer very well.  Now I need to determine what I am going to do with it.  I think I will bottle one keg and serve the other on nitro.

That brings me to my nitro upgrade. In a prior post I discussed a faux nitro setup using CO2.  This works but I found it was very easy to forget to bleed the pressure back down to the correct level each night.  This resulted in over carbonation several times. Rather they attempt to fix the user… I purchased a 20 cu-ft nitro tank and regulator. It seems there is a lot of confusion around what pressure to run beer gas at so I will write a follow up post discussing that.
