Had a kolsch on tap with an English Bitter & an APA taped the temp probe for stc on the beer out line of the kolsch
The kolsch keg was in the corner of my keezer where ice had built up a bit as I do serve cold, old school Aussie
I know too cold you loose the flavour old habits die hard
Well the Bitter & APA were fine but the Kolsch I thought was a bit astringent so went down the water adjustment mash ph path, bought an R/O unit & also opened up mill rollers
As the keg went on put the flavour as more alchohol as the temp probe fell off while fermenting & it got up to 22 for a day
was spewing
Noticed I was getting quite pissed quick on it & right off the fusels, solvent (high alc flavour) so wrote the keg off as my wife was calling it divorse beer :unsure:
Had a couple of botts from the same batch, tried them & they were fine so boiled up some DME to put in keg trying to fix it
when I lifted the keg out fu*#en huge ice or beer block knocking around inside it
Big lesson learnt here I can tell you ,feel like a bloody idiot, oh well at least it got me into the water adjustments ,yet to try the results from this
Just thought I'de share my blunder in case it helps anyone else (nobody silly as me though)
Should have realise as it was pouring quite slowly from tap but have only just got into keging
