Well I'm a huge yeast nerd so if you ever take another swing at homebrewing I'd love to talk yeast strains! Kveik is a personal favorite. Something to be said about brewing on a Saturday to be ready on a Friday.

Don't apologize!
That's awesome. Do you remember what kind of yeast was in the kit?

Kegging is a real game changer. I'm nostalgic for bottle conditioned beers sometimes but just being able to serve from a keg is the best.
I use a fermzilla fermenter and just serve directly out of it, using it like a keg.

Sort of. Depends on the size of your tanks. Some yeasts actually has desirable qualities with a little weight on them so we'll ferment those under a little pressure.
The main risk with a secondary is it's an extra contact point for microbes and it's a pretty big oxidation risk.

Looks great!
You might be getting a funny mouth feel from the minerality in your local water, or just some left over yeasties in suspension. Lager yeast takes a long time to fully flocc out.

You clearly haven't been in a brewery since 2012 so why not like...talk to a brewer? Or even just...do a quick minute or research?
It's okay to not like beer, but you don't have to lie to justify your dislike.

You know what really hurts the modern IPA? GenX and millennial theater kids with low self esteem, rich parents and a platform. Making the same fucking boring joke about something they havent had in over a decade.

"why do they keep making so many IPAs???" Is so fucking disingenuous too. Newsflash, asshole, they make up more than HALF of all craft beer sales. We're actively living in a Lager Renaissance, and every brewer will tell you it's a nightmare to get the average consumer to buy said lagers!
