I suspect the main problem with supply is the government has prioritized co2/dry ice for keeping the "vaccines" cold. Add in labor shortages with a guess that the temperature achieved when you get to dry ice plays merry hob with the seals for the machines used and the difficulties getting those seals with the supply chain problems.

You can do the same to kegs, (or you can force carbonate with higher than fermentation pressures) but you won't push it all out without external CO2. You can use air, but you'd better have it empty in a day or it starts tasting like Coors or Bud. millerizedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995088279331568405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-81645568336550254882021-09-01T13:45:38.656-04:002021-09-01T13:45:38.656-04:00Real beer doesn't.

I know quite a few gas wells in Texas produce it as an impurity, but it is stripped out of the production stream and sent to miscible flood projects, where it is pumped downhole for enhanced oil recovery in old fields.Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089648434324058300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-55357337693059031302021-09-01T08:47:37.356-04:002021-09-01T08:47:37.356-04:00And here I thought brewers didn't need to intr...And here I thought brewers didn't need to introduce artificial carbonation, because the fermentation process created it's own.ruralcounselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193188081686431709noreply@blogger.com
