RYPA, eeww…
So the RYPA keg just kicked the other day, and eeww…
OK, it’s official, my racking technique sucks (especially after dry-hopping) and it took kegging to bring that to my attention. Now, don’t get me wrong, the beer tasted good, I actually want to re-brew it with closer to 40-50% rye. But, when I opened the keg, this is what I got to see, lots of debris that shouldn’t be there. The one sort of good thing about this is that I was having some troubles with excessive foaming and a slow pour for the second keg in a row (and only my first two kegs). I was actually quite worried that I was going to have some major kegerator issues and was starting to get a little down about it, but now seeing that my issues could be more because of the kegs/my technique I am feeling a bit more confident about the kegerator. I originally had 8 kegs of beer waiting for the kegerator to arrive, so now that it is here, we’ll have to drink our way through those 8 (especially any that were dry-hopped, about 5 or 6) and see what happens. Here’s another gross shot of my shitty racking techniques for your viewing pleasure.
