I was thinking now that I'm kegging I could hopefully "park" a few and let them mature - but who am I kidding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never forget about 18 months ago at the old house I found a box of Pale Ale that must have got other stuff put on top of it & it was forgotten about, when I discovered it it was 8 months old ( I label all boxes ) it was one of the best home brews I have had. But I know what you mean it is very hard to try & store it for longer, squirrels seem to manage though - nut's for may ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is I find it hard to throw any beer glasses out with beer emblems no matter how horrid they must be, I am the Glass Man !! My neighbors wife said to me the other night having a drink in the bar room "what are you going to do with all of these beer glasses" WTF how do you answer that, I collect the bloody things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Side be side taste test: Commercial Stone & Wood Pacific Ale versus the Morgans clone Mine on the left. Aroma Theirs: Sweet honey-like aroma plus a barely noticeable citrus dry hop aroma Mine: Similar sweetness, but less so. Good level of melon and citrus. Flavour Theirs: Light tropical with a subtle bitterness Mine: Pear dominated tropical flavour Summary: Mine was better, to my tastes. The commercial version was sweeter tasting. In their defence, theirs was canned on 18 July 2021 whereas mine was kegged on 31 March 2022. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy recipe really and ends up tasing great. My recipe is 66% American 2 row and 34% Wheat malt. A 30 minute boil with a 15 minute addition for 14IBU. A 5 minute for 7 IBU. Then another addition at flame out. Then whirlpooled for 20minutes at under 80c. If you want a 50g dry hop can be done. All additions are galaxy. I made the schedule so the hot side additions were the same size @ 20g. I have done both a dry hoped and non dry hop version and both great. I prefer the non dry hopped as it is more taste and aroma stable for my drinking habits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
