I agree that it would be in the water, I bypass my softener when filling my kettles and have a ward labs report of my well water and adjust from there. I've never had a salty taste in my beers, and I am sensitive to salt.

Hb Czech through the ole LUKR tap.

Final product. Made sandwiches not pictured. I cut the end down to fit in my steam pot, plus it made for perfect size slices for the sandwiches.

Another Czech, proper glassware and proper tap for this pour.

Smoke today, fridge tonight, steam tomorrow.

Switching to a beer that is ready for enjoyment. Hb neipa, featuring wisteria in the background, didn't bloom last year but is taking off nicely this year.

Recently kegged Czech pils, not clear or fully carbed, but tasty. This one falls into the Czech premium lager category at 4.9% needs about a week.

True, but transferring via gravity using the diptube with the lid on and the prv open will take forrrreeevvverrr... resulting in longer time exposed to oxygen. Transfer fast as possible and purge asap, best bet. I would completely agree had the op said he could push a little co2 during the...

You're better off using a hose to the bottom of the keg rather then the diptube.

Agree ^^ And if you are going the gravity way, purge with co2 several times and pressurize right away. Depending on thr beer it's not the end of the world, if it's a hoppy ipa, you'll notice loss of flavor and aroma after a couple weeks, as well as darkening in color. This is what oxidation...

Right there with ya thirsty paws, no lightning here though.
