Spuddy Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 I've just opened my first two Jolly Rogers which were the first brew I put through the droid and I suspect the lids weren't on properly - one with very little head, one totally flat. Using PET bottles and I guess I didn't properly screw them all on tight enough. Pretty frustrating but chalk it up to lesson learned. But otherwise - I also didn't love the taste? Just has a real homebrew twang to it. Could that have also been due to them being not sealed properly? They're right on 30 days so should I just shelve them for later in the month and see how they go with a bit more rest? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Yeah that off flavour is probably due oxidisation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, open and put the sugar tabs in again and squeeze out the air when tightening the lid. Give an extra nip with pliers or multi grips.

Dustin Frothman Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Cracked my taster bottle of Jolly Roger yesterday at 25 days. I used 40g each of Centennial and Mosaic. Slightly happier than if dry hopped as per the standard recipe and a little more bitterness. Looking forward to the keg now as that was pretty good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain 3 Droids Posted February 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Still so nice and now I have a confession- for the first time in a droid fermentation I ended up with Pellicle, it had slight white webbing on the surface. As mention before this may not be the end of the brew. Smelt ok, tasted ok so I kegged leaving about 500ml making sure none of the “webb”went into the keg. Results speak for themselves, don’t always take ditching a brew as the ist option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 this one went in the Droid yesterday. Will add 25g Galaxy to the recipe of 25g Cascade and 25g Mosaic. Should be a cracking drop. Aaarrrrgggghhhhh. cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
