Hi guys just a quick few questions. I have recently put down my first lager and the recipe is below.
4.000 Kg Aust Pils
0.500 Kg White Rice (boiled and added to mash)
0.500 Kg Carapils
Mashed at 65 - 68 degrees
Hop Schedule
20g Pride Of Ringwood 60min
10g Cluster 5min
I fermented for two week with two packets of Saflager S-23 at 12 degrees. Kegged it and has been sitting on gas in the fridge for two weeks. When I first tasted this beer when it was kegged and gassed it was very similar in taste and smell to Coopers Green, which was pretty good. But now two weeks later the Pride hops have really gone altogether. There is no real Aussie Aroma to the beer anymore and would almost say it has gone to fruity sweet taste. Not undrinkable but definelty not what i was hoping for and not as good as what it was before.
If I add some POR hops to the keg after steeping in some boiling water for 20 mins should this help it out?
Cheers in advance Sean
