First glass out of the keg was bright clear. Not sure if the pressure plays a role with that

NEIPA from the Electric Brewery website. 5.2% and low bitterness at 25ibu. Pungent Citra and Galaxy.
 
My Bo Pils has been in the keg for 3 weeks. Since its the only beer i have on tap atm it will have to lager while i drink it.
I had read that a little bit of melanoidan goes a long way. I thought 250g was a little bit. Ill try 100g next time. The brew day was a complete cock up. I ended up with 6.2kg of pils instead of 5ish. Even so the melanoidin is very noticeable. Ill try maybe 250g of munich and 100-50g of melanoidin next time. Maybe i should just brew a helles with saaz [emoji1]

The lack of lacing is a bit disappointing too

#45 I'm sure nobody will judge me but this is made from homebrand homebrew draught. It was something that I never thought of. Simply the can + 1kg ldme + 120g maltodextrin +180g dextrose + 150g crushed Vienna malt + 20g of crystal malt. Its been in the keg for 12 days and is so cloudy (not that I mind a bit of haze) at a total cost of around $20 it actually turned out better than expected. Its not a fantastic beer but its a good beer. Seriously if this beer was next to a New or a VB ect I think I would choose this beer for the flavour.

#46 Citra extra pale ale brewed from AllInn fwk. I transferred some into the bottle to experiment with the carbonation cap (could have done with a bit more) and fit the remaining into 19l keg with a hop ball containing 25g of Citra pellets to dry hop. Will remove the hop ball in a couple of days then I will probably ramp up the psi to complete carbonation.
I'm pretty pleased with this beer even without the dry hop. This beer is a bit thin in body but AllInn did intend for it to be a showcase for Citra hops
 
^ my mate made that same beer and a few others from the same brand. All tasted thin. Obviously from the dilution. We changed the last batch to 18lts only adding 3 to the fwk, turned out much better
 
From memory the recent cubes contraband IPA (white IPA) and bearded dragon (APA) had decent body. Contraband was on the thinner side but I found bearded dragon to be quite soupy. Body and mouth feel are what I really love in a beer. The impression that I have and as described on the cube was that this beer is intentionally light bodied to focus on Citra and I gotta say I like Citra. I have the keg carbing up at serving pressure right now but in a couple of days when I pull the hop bomb out of the keg I will speed things up so I can get a better impression :)

Again with the Citra extra pale ale, tasting pretty good with the dry hop addition in the keg for 4 days. Tho I'm thinking about natural carbonation next time.

Becuase munich malt sux. Replace the lot with Vienna, keep the munich for english bitters or darker beers.
 
It's not because Munich sucks, it just reduces the drinkability. I notice that malt in the background instead of blending in with the Vienna.
 
Mangrove jacks Bavarian wheat beer kit yeast subbed with Safbrew WB06. 14 days cold conditioned and tasting pretty good.
