Keg blew, tasty beer though and the keg lasted over 5months. I need to get brewing as i only have one keg thats half full and another ready to blow. I have been moving house so been a bit disorganised. That’s a magnificent pour there What PSI is it set at? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colour and haze are amazing. I am struggling with making hazy beers. All of mine are turning out oxidised. The aroma and flavour is pretty good, but they are mostly muddy and dirty looking. If I could make something like yours, I would be stoked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could make something like yours, I would be stoked. the brew was just brewed normally like you or i would do as an all grain brewer. the only other thing i did is fermented this brew a certain way at certain temp ranges 1. 1st 6 days ferment at 18°c 2. day 7 increase to 19°c for 24 hours 3. day 8 increase to 20°c for 24 hours 4. day 9 increase to 21°c for 24 hours 5. day 10 increase to 22°c for 24 hours 6. day 11 increase temp 24°c for 24 hours 7. day 12 decrease to 23°c for 24 hours 8. day13 cold crash to 2°c for 3 days total fermentation time 16 days before kegging/bottling Sounds like alot of work and remembering , however i can set a profile in my temp controller to automaticly go through the steps with out me manually remembering to do it. Wether this made a difference in keeping this haze and colour i am not sure well as for the colour it was about 8.5 ebc thankyou for your kind words mate it means alot to hear that. hazy beers are hard to make in my thoughts in trying to get them to stay hazy. i am susspecting this beer to settle more over the next week or the next depending if i can stay away from the kegerator 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a pic and tasting notes of a Juicy Hazy IPA I brewed back in July. And here is the recipe. Plenty of Wheat and Quick Oats. I am actually drinking a glass from the keg right now. Still smells and tastes amazing. It just looks below average. I did a similar one in September. A bottled version was murky like the Juicy Hazy IPA. I am hoping that might be due to oxygen exposure in the bottling process. I have a keg of it waiting for a spot in my kegerator once the next keg blows. Hopefully it is more golden coloured. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted Sunday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:19 PM A Tim Taylor Landlord AG (in a Sam Smith’s glass, as a nod to the fact that I lived in Tadcaster once upon a time). After that an Old Perc. I must make up another batch of that for winter, but not chill it so much. Maybe put it on the beer engine too. These brews suit a Northern Europe winter temperature, the hops in the Landlord come out shining, a bit dulled at 3 degrees . A Spitfire last night too, I must have a bash at that one sometime 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fires we light will be the charcoal ones for cooking BBQ's. Those beers look good, but I am not a fan of Spitfire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz II Posted Monday at 05:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:32 PM My latest two creations. First an AG Copa which turned out nicely, just doesn't have much flavor. Might have been my too hot hop stand, extracting just bitterness and not too much flavor and aroma. The second one is an ESB can American Amber Ale with some extra LDM. Nice toffee aroma and body and mouthfeel after only one week in the bottle. The flavor is ok, but I think I know now what the "can twang" is 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted Wednesday at 05:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:25 PM (edited) A perfect pour on the Theakston’s Old Perc. If that doesn’t mean that the keg’s about to blow then I’m a Dutchman. T’was ever thus A Cruel Mistress, homebrewing… haven’t I already said that ? Edited Wednesday at 05:30 PM by stquinto Typo 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @DavidM, do you add hops to your pale ales? If so, what kind and when please! (asking for a friend). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I add hops, a small amount of Bittering with Pride of Ringwood at the end of my grain steep. And a dry hop Late in the brew, with whatever I have that month. My new favorite is Hallertau. I am not a fan of "Citrus" hop flavors. Works for Me, we are all different and like different flavors. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago The first pint from a second keg of Goose Island IPA, I did a double batch. I carbed it at 35/40 PSI for 24 hours. This method really works for me. The hops are still quite dominant, I’m happy with this recipe (although I’m rarely unhappy with one if I’m honest) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
