Me too. I have three empty kegs so hopefully this weekend I'll get the 940 back into action.

My first low-O2, fully spunded batch brewed on January 20. A sort of American Ale.

Here's the first of my new lower-O2® beers.  Bordertown Mexican Dark Lager...

 

 

I put this beer on tap earlier this week.  My son has been home with his girlfriend and two of my sisters were here last night for a few hours.  I may have had two glasses of this beer.  At about 10pm last night my son was tapping a beer and the keg blew.  I was shocked, appalled, sad, disappointed and pissed all at the same time.  I can't believe a keg went that quickly and I had so little of it... especially when it's one of my favorites.  I still have 940 active so I'm clearly making it again.  Easy come, easy go.

Earlier this week? Son, GF, 2 Sisters and Kenx2... ~40 minus 2 = 38 pints. Well done by the fam

Yeah, my college-sophomore, 20-yo son can't help himself when free beer comes out of the wall.  I honestly can't believe it's gone already.  I need to go downstairs and replace it with my Hacienda Lager keg that's waiting.  I also have a grad party this weekend and it's Memorial Day weekend so I really need to get my inventory back up.  Cheers Brother.

Wow Ken, that beers looks great and it is a shame you missed out on it. I have some 940 I need to get going.

[Poptop]

Perhaps it's time to get some 940. Still digging on the Bayern though. Will likely retire it by 6th use.

In terms of the true low-O2 and my slightly-adjusted "lower-O2", this beer was really fantastic.  It was clear, smooth, fresh, balanced, etc. and it may be one reason it went so fast... super drinkable.  I realize the low-O2 guys would wince because of the changes that I made but they were changes that worked for me and made me proud to say that I brewed this beer... and subsequent beers. 

 

940 is fantastic and I really don't brew with it enough.  Coincidentally I have Bayern waiting patiently and it will be the next lager yeast I brew with when the 940 is retired.  I'm brewing tomorrow evening (the summer pale ale with 1056) and there will be a string of those beers as well.  Cheers peeps.
