Yea, the beer is that dark in person. When holding a light behind it, very little to no light shines through the beer itself. The after taste could just be that I notice could be just me not knowing this style of beer. I'd be willing to send a bottle so you can see for yourself.

Weird. Shouldn't end up that dark. If you'd like to send a bottle off, that's fine; I'm pleased to offer what feedback I can. I'll PM you my address.

Hi Bob
Why do use Hallertauer instead of a traditional English variety?
Bob

Bob · 02-20-2010, 10:33 PM

Because I had a pound of it in my fridge.

You can use any variety, really; the full boil will get rid of the vast majority of flavor/aroma constituents. Just use a low-alpha variety.

Cheers!

Good reason. I like your style.
Cheers,

I have an extra ounce of Hallertauer in the fridge, any thoughts on using it? I don't want to mess with the recipe much, and seeing as you had a pound on hand, I thought you may have dabbled.

Bob · 03-03-2010, 04:14 PM

That's what I used in the original recipe. Didn't seem to impact the beer adversely.

Go for it!

I made this partial mash, and its so f-in good. BS told me it came to 2.7, so i'm going all grain and gonna boost it up a bit. think it'd be good with coffee in it? breakfast beer yknow? )

another question..

its been in bottle for a month now. it seems to be getting sourish? kinda bright tasting. is this normal?

Bob · 05-13-2010, 02:22 PM

I really couldn't say. I've never had that problem. Though I must say I've never had it last much more than a month, and I usually keep it on draught these days.

Cheers,

Bob
