BlackSands Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 This is now the fourth kveik-fermented brew where I've tested the idea that with this yeast bottled beers maybe condition much quicker than usually associated with other yeast strains. The first time I tested this idea (AG batch) seemed to suggest this was not the case, though that beer, a Golden ale was certainly good to go at two weeks. The second such 'experiment' suggested otherwise however. That partial mash beer - a porter, after accelerated carbonation induced by putting the entire bottled batch in my fermentation fridge at 30ºC was perfectly drinkable after 7 days. Similarly with a dark ale that followed. And now, this latest partial-mash English bitter: I'm tasting this now at just four days in the bottle! I think carbonation still has a way to go... though this lower carb does actually suit the style, but more importantly, this is ready to drink now! Of course it will change over the coming weeks but there's no hint of that familar "green" that I normally associate with young beer. So, brew day to glass in eight days all up, thanks to Kveik - the perfect yeast for impatient brewers! Actually, the motive behind this was I wanted to allow my stepson to sample this one. He's here from Germany at the moment and flies back in a few days time so the pressure was on! Had the same pressure last month when my daughter visited for a couple of weeks. Where would I (and the kids) be without Kveik? 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 COOPERS REAL ALE I have just finished off a keg of this & the brew also yielded a 2l Growler & 4 Grolsch bottles, I have one to go after this so I will probably save the Growler for a rainy day. This is very easy to drink & I am sorry it is nearly all gone. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to Göttingen and Bebra but never to Eschwege - so this is the first time I have seen the Jacobinus - coooooool! @RDT2 mate how do you prep the dry Gelatine to add - and when do you add it? Your advice please? @BlackSands I think I bothered you Sandy about Gelatine a while ago but never got around to doing it - I think you use it too mate don't you? It would be nice to try making some clear beer one day ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha @interceptor Ceptor you would have loved my Christmas 2020 "Black Death" 8.2% IPA which had - all up - something like 250g of hops mostly Columbus and Chinook I had got cheap and needed using up ; ) It was nearly undrinkable to start with -- but as usual a cuppla months later on the last pour it was just.... pourrrrrfect 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You blokes are waaay too impatient. Stout needs plenty of time. My current Stout was bottled 3/9/2021. I've only had about 12 stubbies so far. Just getting to its peak about now. Will still be good in 12 months by which time I'll be drinking the last of it. I'll put a fresh one in the FMV in 4 or 5 months. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It get's better with age but after 4/6/8/10 weeks it is an excellent drink at this time of the year, I don't know how anyone could save it for that long. In fact there wouldn't be too many blokes on here doing it !! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good plan if you do that as it would be nice when 2 seasons later you have your untouched stout ready for you in Winter but I would like to see that I could drink a Stout anytime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickers Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Panic! Lager. Started off as a Pale Ale kit kio and partial with 2 packs of pale ale yeast, after a week i didn't think it was doing too well (temperatures here are about 14c in my brew area) so i threw in a pack of the cooper's lager yeast that comes with the European Lager can. Left it another week and kegged from there. happy with the results. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Another great brew of the Woodforde's kit range. Bure Gold Golden Ale. ABV 4.7%. Hops are Cascade and Amarillo, fermented for 11 days. Didn't like it much at first, but now after 10 weeks in the bottle it is really nice, I am happy with it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
