Drinking a amber ale I kegged but tasted awesome before I kegged Wtf. Then again I waited to put in fridge for five days after I kegged. Taste like a hint of cider?

The beer was not fully carbonated yet but cold? What could this be.

Ok I kegged a saision amber ale after in the primary for three weeks. I tried it before I kegged it and it was great. The starsan the hell out of the keg then kegged it. I then let the keg sit at about room temp 72 degrees for three days. Put it in fridge for 1 day and taste a little apple?

Forgot I am using safe ale

Well I got a new Johnson thermostat . I am going to try to ferment an dogfish 60 min at 65 degrees in lager fridge any suggestions?

Yea I added in total during boil 5 oz of hops

I got the fly a few seconds later

A fly flew in my cooled wort . Is it ruined ? What should I do. I did add two packets of yeast.

Your addicted to home brew when you start kegging your hombrew just so your wife can't count all the bottle of beers you drank.

I am drinking a AG Rye IPA... YuM>>

well I run three burners and I dump in sparge water and mix it in the grains and wait ten mins.. thats about how long it takes me .. Only ten mins extra.. so your right it does take longer.. my bad

if your going to do no sparge you might as well batch sparge. Just a suggestion.. it realy does not take any longer. Happy brewing.

If you want you should add about another gallon of water.. but If you like High gravity beers leave it alone... That is all up to you.. If you want it more in the 1060 range add a gallon.. that should do.. but do it in 1/2 gallon incriments then mix and take another reading.

thats why I don't brew cider or wine... too damn impatient... I do respect you for all the work you do..... I will stick to brewing beer... P.S you seem to have pleanty experience to know that you sure do need to age cider for at least a year.

I had that happen to me when I tried out my barley crusher for the first time... cheers...
