Hey All,
I've got myself into a bit of a bind and need some advice on fixing the situation. Some mates of mine asked me to brew them a keg for a party about 3 weeks ago, and being egar to show off my skills and the craft, I said yes. Problem is the brew isn't right, I think used some Chinook too late in the boil and it's given a bit of a funky flavor. That is the hop flavour is not right and tends towards a slight but signifcant astringency. (The aim was a Rogers clone and I'd never used Chinook before - shoulda stuck to good old POR)
Anyway, the party is on Thursday, is there any way I could possibly salvage the brew? Normally I'd just throw a replacement keg the way of the party and no one would be the wiser, but due to other circumstances I don't think thats gonna be possible.
How could you correct/mask an astringency? Any Ideas would be great.
Thanks
Dave
