Whats In The Glass

[mofox1]

I diluted my 16L down to 19L, MJ. Half a cake of a Scottish ale yeast for a quick ferment at 16.5. Been kegged almost a month now, just haven't really got into it.

The quick review above, while accurate, mat not give it the due consideration it deserves. So here's more for you (I've had to pour an extra couple of glasses now, but since I've been at the arcade games with the young ones for a party, I bloody deserve it now).

There's not much aroma-wise, slight caramel is about all. Flavour goes a touch fruity but also something "catty" (melb bitter reference). It's not light, in fact quite a decent malty mouthfeel, but does finish very dry. I suspect the IBU's are fairly high, because it only finished at 1.011 (diluted OG assuming in the 50's but couldn't be arsed checking).

I was getting some weird vegetal flavours initially, which is why I let I sit out for a month. Coming good now though.

What yeast did you mean MJ? WLP020 doesn't come up with anything. WLP002? If so may finish a touch high for this. WLP053 sounds the tits tho.

thoughts are in that glass

some brand new 2nd hand 44g's

 

[Stouter]

I've got my 'Basic Stout' recipe batches down pat now. This pic is after 2 weeks in the bottle, it's very drinkable, but ideal at one month and over.
On another note, I'm coming up to one year all-grain brewing with the trusty Crown Urn. I'd like to put out a big thanks to all on the site. In the last year I've had a huge learning curve with the info and advice on here, and that's aside from all the crack I've talked in between.
Cheers guys, here's to another year of learning, refining, and great beer!

Stuck doing uni work all day despite the public holiday but better reward myself with a lunch beer.

Mix kegged of APA (1/3) and Stout (2/3) as had a bit of both left over after kegging.

Pretty tasty mix. Mixing kegs can be fun [emoji16]

Now that does look like a refreshing drop. Are those glasses good to drink from? and do they give any advantage over the norm?

 

[Bribie G]

There's nothing wrong with recycling jam jars.

To preserve hop presence after kegging, fill keg with water (with a bit of Starsan in it).
Serve the whole keg out of tap.

You then have a keg of CO2

Just crack the lid of the keg enough to get your transfer hose past the lip and start tranferring immediately.
Any little bit of oxygen that sneaked in is blown back out as the beer level rises.

Close off immediately and CO2 flush the headspace immediately. No need to do tricky transfers under pressure through beer posts etc unless you are a nazi. Works great.

 

[Mardoo]

Better yet, do the Starsan as mentioned, and pressure transfer straight from the pressurised fermenter Its made an incalculable difference to my IPA's and DIPA's. Fully recommend it, and as you can see, it doesn't have to be expensive to get into.

more of a novelty for me Grott, it doesn't hold the head as well as an IPA glass would, but I busted mine so this one gets the gong every now and then

[Grott]

Is that shovel or probably fork placed there to try and fool us into thinking you have been working? More likely to hold you up after your session with the lager. Looks a nice drop.

 

[Curly79]

Remember this one Droid?
Just cracked it tonight after over 2 years in waiting!
So nice mate! Savored every drop. Chocolate and raisins and everything I hoped for and more. Cheers mate

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Think that's Black & Tans isn't it? Had it recently it was exceptional!

 

[Curly79]

It was from the winter swap at Martin's. Thought it was Johnny's?
