It was a great beer, sorry to see the keg run out. I tried out fermenting in my 35 quart brew pot. Fermenting in my brew pot saves me from having to clean out a fermenter. I drilled a 1/2" hole with a spade drill through the stainless lid for the air lock. After no activity, I guessed my lid was not air tight and got out my wife's stethoscope. Sure enough, the yeast was audibly fermenting away. I'll work on the seal for next time, but I suspect it doesn't really matter all that much. The beer was very close but not the same as the Sierra Nevada Torpedo IIPA. Not better or worse, just a bit different. Here are my notes. Good luck reading them:
