If I was ever gonna use it, I'd probably use it in the mash. At least then it will be denatured in the boil and not cause potential problems later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it depends on what you want to do with it, I say usually in the mash as to help with conversion in macro beers. If you want character of malt then yeah Definitely in the FV 7 hours ago, Ben 10 said: A few days into fermentation.

Otto Von Blotto Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Tried a porter last night after one day in the keg on serving pressure. Hardly any head but there was enough of a hint of carbonation that it didn't taste flat. Typical outcome for this recipe, nice chocolate in the background and a pretty smooth beer overall. I'll try it again next week when it's had more time to carbonate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) I have this brew I call 'Dark Old Ale' because it's kinda like an English Old Ale but darker with caramalt and rye choc malt grain as well as some light crystal. It tastes like a teenage stout - a little like my coffee stout but without the coffee and milder on the stout back-of-the-tongue tastes. Rather nice actually. Only 6.5% so I can have an extra one. I do have 4 bottles of it on the shelf for ageing. It's quite young - my first use of the carb lid and had only 24 hours of that at 12 psi before I swapped back tot eh corny lid and put it back on serving - been there about 2 days now. The next time I use the carb lid I will have my 2-way manifold in place so I can turn off the main 4-way manifold and carb a keg at 30 psi. I know I could have done it this time but one must use what one has paid for... right? I will say, schooner #3 is going down very nicely and I have a 450g T-bone to cook... I will add... I gave SWMBO a taste and. although she is not a fan of the coffee stout, she tried to keep my glass of this...

I brewed it twice and such a solid brew. Then i went and tweeked a little with some smoked malt and eventually to baltic porters, but i should get this one down again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzza Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Lovely Winter Friday Arvo for a brew or two: The last of the CO2 Stout keg and a bit earlier in the delivery of the tasty Mountain Ale keg... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo2450 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Well this has been well worth the wait. Since late last year this brew has been keg conditioning up until yesterday when it was put in the fridge and then today it was put under nitrogen. Tzars tar. Maybe another day on the nitro to get that lasting cascade effect. Wasn’t quick enough with the camera. a delicious beer. Hard to tell it’s 9%...so a bit dangerous. Might just be my winter night cap... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 KB lager. No idea if it tastes like the original as I was too young to drink it in its heyday but its very very nice. Crisp with a hint of sweetness and a nice subtle hop taste with the EKG prominent. Have a keg of this lagering. I think it will be better out of the tap. The old man will be the judge if its close to the original. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
