Rob Courtney Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Coming close to 5 weeks, maybe 4.5 weeks. Anyways has improved a bit again, wasn't a bad stubbie of beer to be honest. Not quite where I want it to be but it does have time and that was much better than the first one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 8 ish weeks in. As in getting the exact flavour combo I was looking for, a strike but not a bad effort. As a fail, it's pretty effin good, there is a lot to like about this but it could be better. I was going for a Pirate Life South Coast and am happy that I am at that stage where I can taste a beer and think "I reckon if I do this with this and this as hops, I might get there". Seriously though, happy I was able to make a flavoured beer that came close 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Gyldenvand Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Bottling this one today. After the recent problems I've experienced with excessive carbonation (with a few different brews, not Lawnmower), I approached this one just a bit differently. Among the potential culprits I uncovered are, 1.) a false EOF reading, which could lead to the beer continuing to ferment after bottling, and 2.) hop creep, which can be mitigated by reducing dry-hop time. So, to address both possibilities, I decided to go to the "Courtney process", whereby I waited to add the dry-hops until I received my kegging notification, then giving it two more days before bottling. Time will tell, but I suspect this may be my go-to process going forward. It just makes sense. Thanks @Rob Courtney. Slainte! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Just having a couple of these tonight, getting into Autumn so not quite as refreshing as say on a 30 degree day, still far better than what I can buy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
