Okay firstly this is not a topic about how I carb, holes in my fridge or anything like that.
I have recently brewed and bottled the parched as bro pale ale found in the recipe db which is hopped with galaxy only.
I kegged most of it and bottled the rest. I carbed up the keg using CO2 and they've both been bottled for 8 days now. I know thats early but I tried one of the bottles today and it was already carbed. (Hard to keep under 20C in this weather.)
Anyway it was interesting to note the difference between the kegged beer and the bottled beer.
The kegged beer seemed to be weaker, with the galaxy fruityness not as strong. Almost like a watered down version and slightly more bitter (but not as bitter as when I first tried this)
The bottled beer seemed stronger with a very pronounced galaxy fruityness to it. More mouthfeel and certainly not as bitter as the kegged sample. It seemed to be better balanced overall.
So just curious to hear from others who often keg and bottle and so force carb and natural carb the same beers, if you find the same with your beers where the kegged sample tastes different to the bottled sample.
