Have replaced with a Belgian Larger Blueprint. Nice drop but a bit too sweet for me. It is the style so that’s fine. Enjoyable, malt driven sweet ale with crisp finish.

Paul84 Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 So having the Spoke amber ale that has punched passed 2 weeks. Also in the name of science. This is tasty already , agree with you Mark it is sweet and hopefully the flavors smooth out with a couple more weeks 🙂 . Very very low carbonation though . Have noticed that all my brews are coming this way so far . Could I be doing something wrong , the tiny head on there was from a long pour haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking cause 2 weeks is the bare minimum, it is better left longer unless you force carb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I havent actually had any since lol.. let them age away . I do have a bottle in the fridge saving it for shift change tomorrow . Will update :-D. The 5 litre keg is looking a little sad. It pumped itself up when starting the carbonation on secondary, but now look 2/3rd full lol . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Powell Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I just opened the second keg of the Amber that's been maturing for about 7 weeks. It's definately less sweet than the first keg and has a much better head, but is dissapointingly thin. I'll try adding some maltodextrose next time to give it some body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that and smart move with the maltodextrin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Yeah I am very keen to pour a pint tonight . The day already feels like its been 12 hours 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Quite a tasty drop still . Flavor has smoothed out now . I cant say it is sweet now. Has a sweetness underneath that alcohol bitters i expect in some ales. Still zero head retention but same as Will might still looking at enhancers to help.

Still very carbonated though so drinking wasnt a problem Try washing the glass in very hot water, it’s amazing how a film can build up but not be seen. However if well carbonated it doesn’t really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
