It took me a few batches to really nail my bottle conditioning. Apart from my first stout, that took another 2 weeks before it started tasting any good ha ha Amber looks great mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The Saison keg blew so I hooked up the pale ale. I had previously carbonated it so it was pretty much ready to go. I would call this beer ‘servicable’. It is a Cascade and Galaxy Pale Ale but I think the hops were a getting a little old (much like myself). I will still finish the keg but it doesn’t excite me.

I had a handful of beers like this back a few years ago & put it down to the same thing as you Hairy, being oldish hops that I had used. I didn't change anything drastically with amounts I was buying etc. but once I had opened a pack I just made the effort to use them up over a few brews (even now with the addition of a vac-sealer that I didn't have then). Fresh is best. Maybe take a bit of the advice you gave me once & add in a fresh hop tea to liven the beer up? Just de-gas the headspace in the keg & add? Cheers & good brewing, Lusty.

Rowbrew Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This is a blend of two beers. An English Mild that turned out too watery and lacked in bitterness, and a good old Coopers English Bitter kit brew. Im drinking this beer for a good mate of mine who passed away yesterday. RIP Brady, ill miss ya mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Sorry to hear about your mate Rowan Blended beer can be a great way to get a less than great batch tasting better. I do it regularly in my small keg, not for that reason but just so I'm not wasting beer and I get an extra different batch from two existing ones. They usually turn out well.

bennysbrew Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 First go at my Kolsch attempt, just 2 weeks in the bottle.

porschemad911 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Tried a few over the last week or so. Imperial Milk Stout Coopers BES (AG) Kumquat Rye Saison Imperial American Brown Coopers BES (kits and bits) Aramis Pils Nelson Amber lager Doppelbock Mosaic Rye lager Centennial DIPL Aramis Pils (toned down version) Enjoyed them all a lot. I also took a trip out to Capital Brewing Co for the first time. Some nice beers, but have to say I much prefer the home selection.
