Guilty as charged - I've had to resort to the same thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was just bottling I quite often had a stock of Longnecks usually 10-12 cartons of assorted yumminess but these day I seem to be always waiting for something to ferment/carb etc. I will have to unleash a mammoth brewing extravaganza to catch up !! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I must be drinking more from the kegs than what I was from bottles. I think that combined with letting the brews ferment/cold crash a little longer now means I'm not producing as quickly.

Yeah something's going on I am finding out a 19l Corny Keg doesn't last long, I thought the last couple seemed to empty rather quick, you may be right however re: consumption but comparing that with 2 x cartons of longnecks - it seemed the cartons lasted longer. The facts are 24 x Longnecks 750ml = 18l so when I was drinking bottles I would stop after 3. Now that I have it on tap I try to tread carefully but it's not working.

jennyss Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Coopers Real Ale on the left vs WW Lager on the right! The lager has just reached the 3 week mark, so the the taste test was on last night. My husband prefers the WW lager, and now I have swung around and prefer the Real Ale, which has more substance to it I think. In the FV is a Coopers Pale Ale, so in 3 or 4 weeks we can compare and decide on next flavour directions. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Took a deep dive back into this one last night. This best bitter is shaping up very nicely, and is now on my official "brew regularly" list! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a hard one - my most recent chocolatey AG Stout on Nitro was good young - but maybe a bit smoother old - dunno - but I did like it when it was 8 months or so... kept in Keg Fridge the whole time c. 3 degrees... but I did not keep tasting notes early or late... and then again it really depends on personal taste... and @interceptor as Ceptor notes you might lose some of the taste aspects late that were there early... then there are those who would suggest the Nitro Creaminess also diminishes the taste aspect of the beer rather becoming instead a textural experience and prefer Stout with CO2 -- think Coopers Stout vs Guinness -- both Stouts but very different taste experience I would suggest? .... at the end of the day - each to their own - but I would suggest that any Stout might become drinkable faster in the keg and that bottles should at least have three weeks to carb and then some time - maybe same again - to sit and think. The only maxim I would like to suggest is correct and that is: the last beer out the keg is always the best (well as long as it wasn't blow out) Haha probably because after that there is none left? Brewers do just need to experiment and find the sweet-spot re timing that fits prevailing practicalities plus their taste and their favourite clients' taste for each particular brew I guess?

Maybe consider adding half a kilo of malted wheat @Shamus O'Sean SOS mate... just a thought... I do use quite a bit of wheat across all of my brews in general and I think it helps... just a possible option for consideration mate? BTW this is as well as not instead of the Cara...
