Now Muzzy you know that is sneaky but I know you don't care, I trust the Mutt had a bowl of water while you were imbibing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest could be 10 degree and raining and still be ideal conditions for a Sparkling Ale! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point, champion. Hey @Hilltop hops, while I have your attention. Was it you that gave some of us the "inside word" on cold steeps for hops? I was exchanging views with others on another thread this morning about it and I couldn't remember who suggested it initially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if you would get the same results out of cold steeping in say 500ml to 1000ml of cold water as you would out of adding the same amount of hops to the fermenter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd know better than me, Guru Shamus. I have mentioned somewhere throughout the forums that I'm not sure if cold steeps are the most effective use of hops but they do seem to add the hoppy flavour I was after. The benefit I find from doing them is it's all done on brew day. There's no Chux to retrieve later and there's no lifting of the lid once the yeast is pitched.

Pezzza Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Upon a visit a mate was slurping one of these Norwegian Lagers he'd got on mark-down - seemed happy with it - but noted it was a pretty quiet inoffensive sorta style... but he thought the tinnies also popped a bit when opening as we were at 920m or so ASL and this was brewed at Sea Level... he does work in the alc game so I respect what he had to say... and he had to get it into the glass quick.... it did have very nice tiny bubble structure and head retention was good... there yer go : ) Edited February 20, 2022 by Itinerant Peasant 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or failing that @MUZZY Muzzler next time just do the same brew, but add in AS WELL to the other ingredients: a Tin of Coopers Liquid Malt of your choice of Dark, Amber or Light ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may or may not remember but I am an avid fan of liquid malt extract and use it often. However, too much malt with certain styles of beer just isn't the go for me. Particularly in summer when I'm looking for crisper, lagery type beers. I don't mind dark lagers but I quite like pale lagers too. I reckon a kg of BE2 might be a good compromise to get that paler appearance but also the head retention we all seek.
