Just don't expect great carbonation. Very green and no carbonation to speak of.... not really that enjoyable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I'm having first world HB problems - got a keg to go in the fridge (a Real ale + LDME, sugar primed to test against a gas primed version of the same) and all my lines are in use. Including 1 new keg (English IPA) I just kegged yesterday. So the Old Dark English is lowest in amount so I have to drink it out. But it's a nice drop, kinda choc flavoured (caramalt and rye choc malt) with a nice creamy head. Be a bit sad to see it go, but eshperimentsh musht be a'happenin' thang... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I am drinking a hazy pale I made that is pretty much a NEIPA but I didn't double dry hop it due to using Kveik yeast, called Berserker Juice, it is really juicy and surprisingly clean after only 8 days grain to glass. It isnt astringent, certainly not over bittered (all flameout and cubed hopped with a transfer at 82c), pretty murky but the aroma is jumping out the glass and the flavour is just tropical pineapple juiciness. Slight alcohol aroma at the end of the beer but not hot on the tastes buds at 6%, you have to be searching for it to pick it up. I will post a picture of it when I have another glass but at this point, green as it is so take it with a grain of salt, this is a nice juicy beer. It would be hard to tell the difference between this and a glass of fresh juice with the silky fullness of the body coming in. For my tastes, at this point, I would either add a 60 min addition to firm up the bitterness backbone or transfer at 90c or higher...probably easier just to drop in a few grams as a FWH to 10IBUs or so. It is a really good beer. 3.5/5 for my tastes and green as it is, might adjust in a week or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Rye of the Tiger, black IPA. Its actually darker than the photo shows. Lots if spicy flavour that im not sure where it comes from. Need to check my notes to find if this is hop or rye driven. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 This is another brew that after only a few days CC and gelatin has really struggled to carbonate. This is not my usual experience! But It's been 4 weeks now and its still not fully there - almost seems like there's virtually no yeast at all remaining in solution. However, being an English bitter the current carbonation level actually seems quite well-suited, stylistically speaking. The beer itself also turned out a lot darker than Beersmith had suggested it would, though it is a striking color regardless. As for the flavor... I have to say, this is one of the nicest beers I've not only brewed but maybe even one of the best I've ever tasted as well. I took a radical departure from the typical hops associated with the style and instead made use of some leftover NZ hops - Nelson and Kohatu. I just keep going back for more of this beer, I just can't get enough! ... which, depending on your perspective, could be a good thing, or a bad thing! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Ekuanot is said to have spicy, green peppery notes. Galaxy can be real bitey if boiled for more than about 20mins too. Interesting mix with the rye that's for sure.

Shamus O'Sean Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Coopers Schooner Nice fruity aroma – Columbus, Cascade Chinook dry hop Similar fruitiness in the flavour Quite bitter 37 IBU Very low pH (around 4.8) Adjusted water profile for a Hoppy Style Lucky I took the photo on Sunday, keg blew yesterday 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Fruity Golden Ale Coopers yeast banana aroma plus subtle fruity Wheat beer flavour and mouthfeel Really nice beer Fermented at 24°C.

Shamus O'Sean Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Spilled Golden Ale Same Coopers yeast, banana aroma as the Fruity Golden Ale Could be exactly the same beer, but, there is something in the flavour. Just a tiny bit wrong. Has an almost watery taste. Maybe a bit metallic. Fermented at 18°C. About three days later, the metallic note has gone. Maybe it just needed a little time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Berserker Juice. It is like drinking pineapple juice. Good beer. I mashed a little high at 67 for more body, which it has. Very silky feel from the oats and wheat. Good retention and lacing. The flavour follows the nose with just enough bitterness to know it is a beer. The better half was very impressed and so I am. 4/5 as I would maybe mash lower, 65c, to make it crisper for my tastes. Good brewing and happy Friday.
