Knowing your taste in beer, that’s quite the compliment. Thank you! And yes, there’s been a learning curve, but I have always said that the biggest thing that has changed homebrewing from when I started in the 90’s is the availability of cleaning and sterilizing products. We’ve come a long way from a “capful or two of bleach.” Also the availability of quality products especially yeast makes a huge difference.
I’ll have the Black and Cran Sour available in a couple days, so I’ll let you and @Baltimorewx know how it turned out. When this is Covid deal is all over, I’d be happy to host a get-together or just bring a couple of kegs to somewhere else. And a cooler of Pabst for @losetoa6
