Ive just changed the tap name to Unintentional Porter Its still delicious, and maybe an accidental find. But its not a stout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Day 5 of Covid but it’s time for a beer again. A Coopers XPA clone that’s been in the kegerator for a while. I can’t taste much at the moment other than the bitterness but at least it’s wet and cold. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 26 minutes ago, Itinerant Peasant said: it is pretty decent in-keg clarifications - but did not cold crash post-ferment nor do any clarifying fish guts poly pipe or cows's hooves and all my beers have wheat or rye or both... maybe a bit of chill haze - they been in the keg for a while - but are deffo not crystal clear... so I guess if I wanna get perfect crystal clear I either hafta do the cold-crash super-flocc or do hyper-SS-filter-filtration thing or just cop it that my beer is very fkkkn delisch but marginally cloudy? Maybe that is the cost of AG excellence? or just poor disgraceful lack of attention in modern brewing ? Your beers always look perfect to me, and i'd imagine taste that way. Dont change anything you do my man. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that CC, that's OK but I couldn't do it now anyway. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I cold crash the majority of my beers. Mainly because I dry hop most beers and have temperature controlled fermenters so it’s simple to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 8 minutes ago, Pale Man said: I cold crash but only for my own reasons. Not for clear beer. Its so easier for kegging. Beer really does absorb C02 faster. And doesn't foam when you transfer. When i bottled i didnt know what cold crashing meant. Its nice to have a clear beer, but only matters if its to the style like a Pilsner or a Lager, and the malts you use lend to being clear anyway with the final product. If you really want a clear beer to impress the Queen when she visits, there are steps you can take, but in my opinion introduces oxygen. I understand but I suppose I didn't make it clear, ( pardon the pun ) as I have given up my old brew fridge for a keg fridge I have to see if one of my others will accommodate a temp control/belt set up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) German Kolsch pretty happy with it, been in the keg about 5 days. Hopped with Hallertau Mittlefruh and Koln yeast. Not real clear yet fined with gelatin but only gave it a day or so cold crash in the fermenter couldn’t wait! Tastes really fresh!

I also use Chocolate Malt and Carafa III... but it does depend on what you are chasing... it will be a lovely beer come what may... exhibits a really lovely fine bubble structure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Second glass of my Fruit Bomb Triple IPA. The first glass was after fast carbing at 40psi for 24 hours in the keg. My tasting notes on that glass: Pineapple and grapefruit aromas plus tropical notes Quite bitter on first sip, that subsides as you get used to it Alcohol warming, with a bit of burn, but some "sherry" type of boozy flavour Fruity flavours in the background. May develop with time This second glass is after a week in the keg and is much better Kaleidoscope of tropical fruit aromas High bitterness in keeping with IIIPA Multifaceted flavours, very rich. More danky hop flavours than fruity flavours, but there is certainly fruitiness there. The alcohol boozy flavour has dissipated. But the 11% gives you a warming sensation in the belly. Definitely not a session beer, unless you are after a short session. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks absolutely great Shamus IMO there is nothing better than the solid creamy head that CO2 produces, even my Real Ale in the keg has similar lines albeit a k & K version. I look forward to future AG beers in the keg(s). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Tasted the Code Breaker IPA this morning, after 12 hours at 40psi. Slightly over-carbonated. I used a Keg King Quickie and a small length of tube to serve this beer. The Quickie is such a handy piece of kit. I also use it to get SG samples out of pressure fermenters. So easy to use and clean - just a rinse under hot water. Previously, I used a picnic tap on some beer line with a disconnect. Much more fiddly to clean. Now the beer: Beer-y and stewed fruit (plum and apricot) aromas. Nice IPA level of bitterness Strong flavour that lingers for ages Good example of an IPA, the Mr Beer Long Play IPA is a really good base for this brew. 7/10 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy81 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Few new beers for me tonight. All pretty much the run of the mill beers, nice but very generic. The River city pils dry hopped with citra is very clean but tastes like 2 styles mixed, needs more bitterness....not a huge fan unfortunately, still, what a good night trying some new beers to me. Just about to the Daintons cherrywood. will report back soon. Cheers all Edited June 4, 2022 by Hoppy81 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As u say 2 styles, sounds conflicting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the main the OCPs are more so on the "Today's Tastings" thread... Just for a bit of clarification from time to time but whatever...
