You find that to be quite a bit better? Thanks Kelly I like the technique alot actually, it makes the press much easier (when you do it right), some of the presses I struggled because I needed the keg more upright and I rushed and it still had some tilt to it. I could press anything I can clean this way. 6 hours ago, EricMilfeld said: Great performance , Matt! All that smart and hard training certainly paid off.
