Fwiw

Drinking a uk/ us type ale imho it will taste poor with the yeast so leave the yeast in the bottle
Drinking a Belgian, saison or hefe it will taste poor without the yeast in the glass

Just my 5c

Enjoy your brews

How did the 15 grams of cascade dry hop go?

 

[Curly79]

I'm trying to be patient. It's only been around 18 degrees where my bottles are stored so havnt tried yet. Might try one this weekend.

Great to hear that it turned out Curly! Hopefully that is the start of a lifetime of experimenting and improving your beers.

 

[Curly79]

Awesome mate! What's on for the next brew??

 

[Curly79]

I got a mangrove jacks pale ale pack. The improver looks to be 3/4 malt 1/4 dex. And a small bag of cascade pellets. Gunna try boiling the hop bag and adding the kit and kilo to the pot this time.

Sounds tasty mate. Cascade is a great hop!!

Just remember to add about 100g of DME per L of water for your hop boil (you want to do the boil at a gravity of about 1.040 for best hop extraction). Maybe a 4L boil with half of your brew improver.

If you just use water you can get some harsh flavors from your hops.

 

[Curly79]

So 400g of DME with the hop boil then add the 1 kg improver or use half the improver for the hop boil

Nah mate. Use your improver or DME . So 4 ltr of water to 400 odd g of improver will do the job. Don't boil the kit or the rest of the improver at all, It will ruin the beers head retention.

 

[Curly79]

Ok. Cheers mate.
