jennyss Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 @Classic Brewing Co, Not sure whether to say thank you for that descriptive list of off flavours in beer. Reading it made me feel sick! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminal2k Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 you can get off flavour kits to taint beer so you can experience the different kinds of things that can happen to beer to help you to identify what went wrong with your beers. my local homebrew group does a batch of these every year or so. i haven't had the band aid one though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) @Classic Brewing Cowhen you say beer in the FV for 2 weeks does that include a cold crash? Edited December 13, 2022 by Uhtred Of Beddanburg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I really don't bother with cold crashing very often; I am not fussed about clear beers. Having said that I make a lot of Pale Ales/IPA's etc. so I can't see the need, I don't do many Lagers as I simply can take them or leave them. It really depends on what I am brewing & the time frame in which it is brewed but that doesn't mean I won't cold crash again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on more concerned about the taste than look. I do like my lagers to be cold crashed especially. If I get too much yeast in suspension let the farts begin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 COPA (Coopers Original Pale Ale) side by side taste test. On the left we have a commercial version of the COPA, bottle was best before 16/09/2022 and stored upright in my beer fridge since purchase several weeks back. My version was kegged back on 27/10/2022 and normally these COPA beers don’t last that long around here but I have been away bush helping my elderly dad out. Commercial COPA – had more PoR aroma and a bit more PoR flavour and aftertaste. My version COPA – a little less PoR aroma but still there and less PoR flavour with just a slightly more of a malt / grain aftertaste. This is probably due to the hop fade due to being in the keg for two months. A fresh kegged batch may be better to compare next time or maybe I up the late PoR additions a tad to make it last longer. Commercial COPA – just slightly more bitter but not a lot when compared with my version after a few sips of both Commercial COPA – slightly less carbonation than my version as I like my beers carbed up just a tad more that the commercial ones. Commercial COPA – a tad on the dry side / thinner side when compared with mine as mine has a bit more body to it. Probably due the mash schedule I used. Commercial COPA – head retention was ordinary to say the least and was gone by half a glass, like as if you had been eating fish and chips and drinking out of that glass with greasy lips. Mine lasted down to the last sip so hence my version had a better mouth feel all the way through to the bottom of the glass. Gotta be happy with that. Commercial COPA – had more of a background yeast taste even though I did not roll the bottle but admittedly I accidentally let a tiny bit yeast trub from the bottle into the glass so hence the more cloudy colour of the commercial. Some drinkers like to roll and stir up the yeast trub before drinking but I wanted to compare a settled keg version with a settled bottled commercial beer. Missed it by that much Overall the colour and ABV was the same so very happy with my COPA. All you AG brewers, do yourselves a favour if you like COPA and buy a bag of CPPM and brew my recipe using CCA yeast as after 4 batches it is a brewery regular now for me. I smash kegs of these too fast. 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone boy Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Pale ale with mosaic. First time using mosaic. Added 40g at flameout and 60g dry hop. It’s nice - pretty mellow not overpowering at all. Probably pair with another hop next time. Cheers all 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
