And… kegged. The one I kegged is the one on the right in photo above. A plain traditional.

Damn good! I nailed it. Carbonation was forced by the CO2 cartridge attached. Food grade paint ball cartridge, basically.

This photo shows the 1 gallon keg, next to half gallon of milk. Tiny thing.

Being a gallon, this is about 5 bottles of wine volume. A 2nd CO2 cartridge will be needed to dispense the whole thing out the tap.

I will keg the cider next. I might start a fruit wine in my empty carboys.

Awesome job CGI. It will take you that long to drink 8 pints that you'll need another daisy cartridge?

Also surprised to not see the obligatory Canadian milk bag.

Made a Belgian Pale Ale, and added 4lbs of toasted coconut and 8oz of almond extract in secondary fermentation. Going for a macaroon flavored beer. Will keg tomorrow should net over 4.5 gallons. Fully carbonated in about 10 days.

That looks awesome! Sounds good too.

I am investigating making a port wine. Early stages of planning.

4.5 gallons? How big is that carboy? Definitely sounds like an interesting beer. I've never extracts much. But you aren't going to get that almond flavor without either it or amaretto. I'll be interested to see how it comes out. I'd probably like it better than an actual macaroon.

Carboy is 6.5 gallons I believe. You may be right, I might lose more as a result of trub that I won't transfer into the keg.

About 4.25 gallons. Little more than a growler could have fit in the corny keg (5.13G or 20.52L).

I saw this thread and thought "Oh, someone here likes D&D. Cool." Then I opened it and realized it's about beer.

I wasn't wrong, but that someone is just me.

Cool you like D&D and homebrew. You should start a new thread!
