Brauhaus Fritz Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I am bottling my brews and I always believe that certain types of beer taste better in certain size bottles. Had one of my Copa’s in a Stubby first and now in a Pint bottle. This is so much nicer, much softer carbonation. Happy with this one. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get you on the kegging, but if you want to make something from the Vintage series you might want to bottle. I also need to knock up a slab of COPA for my neighbour, he keeps doing odd jobs around my garden I mention I need to do (he’s retired and I’m not) so I reckon it’s only fair. He’s more of a tradie than me (although I’m not hopeless) and he likes being busy. Or he’s fishing for a free slab, that’s ok by me 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 First try of the Battleship Bitter. I got a cornie and a 5l overflow keg off the brew. It could do with ageing a bit (kegged 11/05), probably an extra fortnight. Pretty decent already though 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Closely followed by a Duvel clone. I’m looking forward to knocking up a new batch of this, with proper temperature control, in a stainless steel FV. I reckon it’ll help. Then probably have to knock up another one straight away as they take a month to ferment and at least 3 months in the keg. It’s a Sisyphian task we’ve given ourselves, fellow brewers, (although I wouldn’t call it pointless) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be just irrational and in my mind, but after three years bottling and using different sizes for the same brew I just developed preferences for the various styles. As my Stubbys are all 330ml bottles and out of laziness I use one carbonation drop in them they are always quiet strong carbonated. I like to fill them with Lagers and 'light ales'. Strong Ipa's and Weizen in a pint bottles and Stouts in pints or long necks. Sometimes I think as bigger the bottle the smoother the final product. Even so there shouldn't be a difference but maybe the quantity of yeast and sugars varies for the bottle conditioning?. For example I love Coopers Pale Ale and Sparkling Ale but never enjoyed them in Stubbies, always Long necks or even cans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of getting a small keg to take the few litres left over from a batch rather than bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Back to my Brit roots with this English Bitter, using my "go to" best bitter grain bill. On this occasion I've brewed it with English Harlequin hops. This one never seems to disappoint: 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back Brewing Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Nothing fancy just reminding myself how thin these beers are compared to my own brews that have more mouth feel. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Always the way. This is an AG brew now a few weeks in the keg & the bitterness, hop aroma & flavours are developing nicely, I still can't believe how clear it is for an XPA. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
