Last time I posted I was brewing a Belgian Gold. I was having issues with clarity, however, after only a few weeks we appear to have a sociably acceptable beer, clarity wise that is. The problem for me is this is a reasonable high ABV beer at 7%. I taste many of my brews as early as a few weeks and definitely get a good feel for the final result.
This brew I found lacking mouth and I don't know how to explain it - but missing the spot. Never having tasted a Belgium beer before who knows how good this is.
Something that MHD sent me about mashing temperature (between his minor melt-down with me) has made me realise that "in lay man's terms" if you like the style of beers that I do, then mash around the 66/7 mark depending on what you are brewing ( I'm an English Bitter/Pale Ale sort of guy.) Now I have a beer that's full, mouthy and around the ABV 5.2+%.
The info from MHD is invaluable...
