Do you just degas the keg and throw in hops and gas it up again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A treat at 8 days in bottle. I have the flu so the hops are helping a ton!! Sad to hear your feeling a bit off colour Pints but pleased to know you’re taking your medicine 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Bitter Lion - 2nd partial mash brew based on a Lion Draught can I picked up on sale a while back. Paired it up with some Gladfield malts and a generous dose of fuggles hops to make this English Bitter. No complaints.

Classic Brewing Co Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 12 hours ago, Tone boy said: Yep agree Phil. Probably why your beer ended up so clear. I have been cold crashing for the last 10 or so brews but I think I won’t bother with pale ales anymore, and not with my pacific ale recipe. I have noticed it takes a bit longer for the bottles to carbonate with a CC but that may be due in part to the cooler weather. I’ll still CC my lagers to get them as clear as I can. But hoppy ales I want them carbonated and ready to go so I can enjoy those hops before they fade away… Cheers Yes TB I don't see the point of CC with a Pale, with this yeast or similar it cleans itself up beautifully & the last few batches have been very clear, also the taste is crisp with a hop bite & a lovely head. I agree with lagers although I am starting to move away from them in favour of Ales as I have a batch now that is very heavy to drink so I will box it for a few months. Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I let the gas out and put some hops in a bag, with a string out of the keg to pull it out? How long in, a week or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickers Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 cooper's mexican cervaza kit and kilo. made during a weekend where i could not be bothered doing anything other than a tip and mix. not one i'll do again but kind of glad i made it, mostly so i have beer but also to prove to myself that the extra tinkering i've been doing is actually worth it. even a dry hop would have boosted this one considerably. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aromas of coffee, black current, chocolate and roasty Flavours to match, with an appropriately robust bitterness. This is a great beer. Bloody love that beer…. Where did you peep the recipe mate? Or you take a stab at it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I let the gas out and put some hops in a bag, with a string out of the keg to pull it out? How long in, a week or so? I have never done it but have read about it. If you are lucky, you might have keg lids with a lug with a hole in it under the lid. Get a stainless hop ball or similar with a chain on it. Long enough so that when you refit the lid, the hop ball will be submerged in the beer. Load up hops. Hang from hook under lid. Refit lid to keg. Hops will be in the keg long enough to add aroma to the beer. Once you have drank enough, the hops will no longer be submerged in the beer. But by then they will have done their job. Some folks just drop the hops in and leave them, but they need to be contained and the container cannot be allowed to block the dip tube. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no way good enough to even attempt to take an educated guess at the recipe. Modus Operandi released some details a while ago either on their webpage or Facebook. My brother-in-law sent it to me. Here's what he sent: Here's a summary of what I brewed: Fermented with Nottingham 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickers Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 lots of flavour in this one, a quick and easy toucan with a can of cooper's lager, a can of amber malt extract and 500g of LDM. supplied kit yeast r007 (2 packs). not much head on it yet but another day or two in the keg should see to that. tasty. malty. easy. happy with this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_G Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Vienna Lager. Brewed in May. Did a double batch of two kegs and the last keg is about to blow any beer now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Two days in the keg, obviously not carbed or conditioned but I had to have a tester. My AG Duvel clone. Well you could push me over with a feather. I've nailed it. It's so close to Duvel even if not better. This is the biggest win I've ever had. I actually feel like a real brewer now. This is a smashing beer for those that appreciate the style. Now............I need to let it age. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
