I thought it may have hung around longer and fallen in line behind a few other lighter coloured brews I’ve got but it’s surpassed those by a fair way. I did this batch pre temp control so would like to see the diff with that and a cold crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 So tried my latest pale tonight that’s vic secret, galaxy, mosaic in copious amounts. I then knee jerked and keg hopped the bajesus out of it, not knowing how a keg hop can effect the beer. This hop presence is WAY too much. I can smell fruit from a meter away. And the perceived bitterness is way too much for the beer. If I dry hopped as normal it would be a better beer. Nice experiment though. Glad I did it, upset it’s kinda ruined a batch of beer.

ben 10 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Nelsons Saison. One of the better beers I have made. @porschemad911 I think you recommended the 3726 yeast? Beautifully compliments the winey flavour from the Nelson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Well, I drained out a bit more of the keg of my latest pale and it’s now effing delicious. Vic Secret, Mosaic and Galaxy kicking ass. Pleasently suprised how this turned out from being pretty awful at the start of the keg. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Yeah gotta go easy on the keg hops captain. You get way more bang than a dry hop for the same quantity of hops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll only do like 90g next time ha ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewzabit Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Enjoying an Irish red ale, only 12 days conditioning but tastes good. The mug is from my daughter's cruise Sydney - Seattle, good to christen with a brew. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get way more bang than a dry hop for the same quantity of hops. I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of your emptied kegs before you clean them Greeny. Is there much in the way of hop debris? I still feel you can get the hop factors you want without having to resort to keg hopping. Not that I'm against that process. In fact I'd like to install a Randall type setup to see how it goes particularly with very hoppy Pale Ales & more so IPA's. I'd rather clean a Randall of hop debris than a keg. Just easier. Making a Randall is easy too. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually wanting the keg emptied now as it's not the greatest pale ale I've brewed. It's nice but the mouthfeel is a bit thick. Not as refreshing as I could be for this weather. Next one I'll probably mash a little lower. The other reason I want it empty is to move the kegerator into the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogdog Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I got to try a beer from another home brewer. I dont think he controls ferment temps but he does have kegs + kegorator. He pours me one, I drink it down, I say that tastes like coopers pale ale, sure enough it was a coopers pale extract can brew, brewed with brew enhancer apparently. By gosh it tastes and looks very similar to the real thing. So if you like CPA and have never brewed the tin I recommend you do. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have done larger with a hop sock tied up with fishing line. Works a treat too. Ill take a pic when i get home for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Drinking a lager from @Ben 10 very clean and refreshing. Nicely carbonated, I’d say that’s a nice “lawnmower beer”. Simple, fresh, clean and none of that cats piss aftertaste I get with lager. Slight carbonic acid maybe but that’s making it refreshing. Its a nice beer Ben. Is it swaying me over to the dark side???? Admittedly, that’s the nicest freshest lager I’ve had. Period. I’m not going to say I’m on the fence, just close enough to pee on it. Thank you for the beer Ben. Much appreciated. Your beer has never been short of tasty and very respectable. I tip my hat to you mate. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 @Beerlust These are great. Beats the hell out of dry hopping if you have kegs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
