Yeah, I did a Saaz/Hersbrucker combo once, bit disappointing. It's fine to wait a couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just threw it together, think it was about 22gms of hops, I only had 4 gms of Perle, split the rest. Who knows, may be a disappointment, may be a great success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Gave this one a go at 3 weeks... Not the best, not the worst, it may improve, hopefully. Interesting mixture of hops I put in to be fair, I overthought it so much I just went on impulse and my impulses ( excluding women) usually bank in at 95+% In saying this though, it isn't a miss, maybe should have gone some Saaz and Hallertau and taken it to 50 gms but...may improve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saaz and Hallertau would be a good close match (as you thought) however spalt is fairly weak in flavour and 4gms of perle wouldn’t do much. May need to sit for a while as you suggest.

The Lemonhops has added a really nice layer to it, there was just something not quite there, or was there that'd rather wasn't. Be interesting though, if the lemo hops takes the whole flavour, it'll be lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 So nearly six weeks in...and it's a beer. Could use a slice of lemon Nah, it's OK but nothing more, the hops have balanced out but they don't add that much to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feared I'd have to drink 10 longnecks of not so nice beer but no problems drinking it. Would I do the same hops profile again? No but at least this has been an OK experiment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both stubbies, te ones I pour and cap last so now I am worried I didn't carbonate 7 stubbies...we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a while the procedure becomes part of the process and it's automatic. Edited August 11, 2021 by Eltham Brewing House 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 So I did get the final two stubies, open them carefully and was right, no carb drops in them, so have chucked in a couple as quicklu as I could and resealed. Hopefully that sorts it out and if it doesn't, so be it. As I have aRdo tomorrow, treating myself to some Sunday Mayhem and grabbed a longneck of Birra, nicely carbonated, which is nice for a change.About 6 weeks in, will be even better with a couple more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
