Cosmo2450 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 We have fermentation! What a relief. Don’t know if video worked. But seems all good 618A43BE-B092-43B0-8DC1-5425FD98D61E.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo2450 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Well here we are folks. I kegged this yesterday and I tasted a sample and OMG. I had to sneak a PET bottle and nitro it up. I will admit, I didn’t cold crash but it was fermented at control temp, at 15psi and it was in the fermenter for 3 weeks. It is being conditioned in the keg and won’t be touched until late May/June. So with all that in mind what I had sampled tonight OBVIOUSLY wasn’t perfect. But my word it has potential. It was chocolate on the nose, full creamy in the mouth and slightly fruity for my liking but not undrinkable. There was NO alcohol feeling or taste. Now my improvised pouring device proved challenging with 35psi of nitro but I managed. I can’t wait for it to be the colder months. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusterCluck Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Guys, Serious question; where do you get your Coopers cans? is it best to get them through Coopers Club to ensure maximum freshness? I ask because my experience with cans is a bit hit and miss. Some have the dreaded twang and others don't. Yet all the cans have been brewed within the 'best-by' date, so I figure freshness must be a factor. My cleanliless certainly isn't, as Star/Stellar San, sodium percarb and nitrile gloves (yes, really) are de rigeur during my process. My last three brews were DME based with a rich and varied hop schedule and all were excellent brews with no twang whatsover (and all temp controlled). So, for once, I'm not blaming myself. I'd hate to put down a 'Troiscan' such as this then find myself ditching it 6 months later.
