about 1 year ago 		First keg leaked at the in port. I tried a new washer and that did not work. The leak is between the top of the keg and the bottom of the post. Taste is good. Sour, and a very light touch of smoke.

about 1 year ago 		Carbonation is light so I bumped it to 30 PSI and will check tomorrow. Still a bit cloudy. Good sour taste, almost a hint of lemon. Smoke is very subtle.

Notes

Original recipe I found called for 1.1 KG Avangard - Pilsner Malt and I am using a little more, 2.5 pounds of Weyermann Blanke Pilsner Malt. Original recipe for hops was 28 grams of Hallertau Mittelfruh with an AA of 3.75%.
