Experiment with my new tap a draft system
« on: March 17, 2016, 06:35:04 am »
Well I purchased a tap a draft system a month or so ago.  I'm doing an experiment with it.  I brewed 2 beers in one weekend. Both My Honey Wheat and a English dark mild.  I'm splitting the batches in half and using table sugar to carb one half of each batch, and dme to carb the other half. 
I used the calculator with brewers friend to calculate the amount of each I will need for each half of each beer

I would expect the only difference to be some sediment from the DME.

I have heard that dme produces finer bubbles.  But we will see

I have an older one and two of the newer model T-A-Ds and like them.
I had a hellesbock in one of the new ones for nearly seven months. It had lost most of it's carbonation, but the beer itself was still good.
I love to go swimmin'
