Thanks for the video!

Thanks for watching!

Maybe I would have put the powder in a mini muslin bag and magnetized it to the keg. So I pressure ferment in the keg and then pull the magnet so it could drop and then cold crash it. Or maybe I would have just used a fancy syrup instead of powder.

Thanks for the suggestions! Since this is part of a group experiment where we're all trying different flavoring media and comparing the strawberry flavoring method was fixed, but interesting idea to treat it like dry hopping. I was a bit concerned how it might behave if I added it before packaging but in the unlikely event I use this stuff again I'll try adding it a different way at a different time. I'll do a tasting video before long to share my thoughts on the powder. :)

Wonder if you could have added before the cold crash, when you had a few gravity points to go, to the fermenter to scrub any O2. Then again, I think there is still some yeast in there, and hope it scrubs the keg anyways.

Yep good point -- I was really on the fence about when best to add it. The powder is supposedly zero sugar but I was concerned about any of it getting fermented and potentially turning into weird flavors, but maybe that wouldn't happen with this stuff. Definitely would have been a more opportune time from the standpoint of introducing oxygen -- something to try next time!

Well, considering CO2 is heavier than O2. I believe you made the right call.
