hi
my old man told me a while ago about beer turning rooey, basically if beer is cooled then allowed to heat back to room temperature too many times, the taste goes a bit off and the beer gives off a slight smell that is similar to the smell of a kangaroo, i never did ask whether that is the meat of kangaroo or the fur of kangaroo
anyway
not that i want to doubt my old man's beer drinking wisdom but is there any truth to this?
the reason i ask is a while ago i did a JSGA clone, tasted a bit rough but smoothed out a little as time went along but still had a slight after taste that i didnt like so i took it off the tap and made sure it was sealed, put it aside to make room for other brew and planned on hooking it back up when i got around to it to see if time helped smooth it out a bit more, the keg is only half full.
at the moment i have a plale ale and a lager on tap both quite nice. but probably about 3/4 full so was thinking in the interest of wanting to brew more and get my spare kegs filled would like to empty the JSGA keg
if i took off the lager from tap hook up the JSGA if it taste alright knock it off then put the lager back on tap. would the lager suffer from warming up then cooling down again? i didnt care to much about the JSGA warming up again as it tasted abit off anyway but the lager is a nice drop IMHO.
any tips
congratulations to all that actualy bothered reading this entire post, it was a long one.
cheers
