My Lager Taste Like Bread

[matti]

I have bought my self a couple of bottles of Dunkel from Dan Murphys.

Yet to taste them but I will have a comparison test.
I think it will be quite a difference as the yeast was S-23 in comparison to using something like
Weihenstephan 206 or
WLP830 German Lager Yeast/ 2124 Bohemian Lager Yeast/ 34/70.

Maybe even a Bock yeast. WLP833.

The possibilities are endless.

Another thing could be that my Stick on thermometer is in accurate and it was fermented warmer then it said.
I'll have to put the probe on the actual fermenter side next time just to see if this make a difference.

Absolutely. Ignore the stick on. In my experience they are up to 4C out. I blu-tac my fridgemate probe to the side. There are more exact ways, which involve dip tubes, more holes in your lid etc, but on the side is good enough, and far more acurate than any stick on.

My screen setting make it look a lot darker then it is.
It has an orange brown tint to it.
Amazing how it has changed character since 1st drop.
Hopefully i've got some left for another two week lol

So has it stopped tasting like bread? When I spoke to you a week ago you were not pleased at all... looks the goods though. I'll have to come over and try some.

Well I tried a glass last night and I think I know what may have happened regarding the clarity.
Some how I must have got yeast through when I transferred it to the keg even though I attempted not to.
This has now dropped some what and hopefully it will clear up if I can leave it alone.
It still taste a little grainy and a note of bitterness in the finish I am not fully happy with but still very drinkable.
As to comparison to a dunkel it is far from it.
It is still a crud lager LOL

You are more then welcome to drop in Bongchitis if you are in the neighbour hood.
Migh c u sooner then that though.
