Just curious if mouthfeel (dependent on style) will develop over time while the beer is conditioning?
Thanks
Thanks
For me it seems that mouth feel and taste improve with age. The last two brews I did were a little thin tasting at 3 weeks but great after 4-5 weeks
I'm not providing a scientifically backed answer here so hopefully I won't have my home ransacked for answering your question...
Once carbonation levels have stabilized, I don't feel that mouthfeel will be effected by aging - with one caveat - oxidation can add mouthfell (IMO).
My experience is this:
Increasing residual sugar - increasing mouthfeel
Increasing malt residuals (non sugar) - increasing mouthfeel
Increasing non-fermentable adjuncts (non-aromatics) - increasing mouthfeel
Increasing aromatics (hops) - no effect on mounthfeel
Increasing CO2 levels - decreasing mouthfeel/body, increasing bite and increasing fillingness
Increasing Oxidation - increase mouthfeel, increase fillingness. Decrease bite.
I'd like to know what others experience is around these parameter and others, this was just my quick first pass.
