Luke Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hey Omar, Did a preliminary (drunk [roll] ) taste last weekend after a wedding where I wrecked the tastebuds on nasty megaswill. Foggy memories but the open fermented version had a nice character that the closed didn't. I got a faint bubblegum aftertaste in the open version. The closed version is on tap now and almost all gone!!! It's nice! I've got a dozen stubbies left over (6 open version and 6 closed for side-by-side tastings) My uncle preferred the open version & my dad preferred the closed!

OmarL Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Interested to hear about the final side by side tasting [lol] Are you still going to do another batch with harvested yeast from the open ferment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hi Omar, Very soon, mate! If it tastes ok then I'll be keeping the yeast I saved. If it's no good, then 20 litres down the drain!!![crying] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarL Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 i am pretty sure there will not be 20 liters down the drain. but please keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Results are in! The open fermented batch is.........................a success![roll] It's a bit more mellow than the closed version, no bubblegum aftertaste, no infection![biggrin] I did a side-by side and the colour was exactly the same, aroma was more noticable in the closed version. Carbonation was exactly the same. You can tell they are the same beer, but the difference is really slight, they are both really nice! Open fermented on the left, closed fermented on the right.

Muddy Waters Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 [rightful] I think they are noticeably different the one on the left has Coopers written on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 [rightful] That's cause the one on the right has Hahn Premium Light on the other side![rightful] "Why do you have to drink 2 beers at once?" asks Mrs Luke....[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
