i do like the big hop flavor, It just needs to mellow a bit...reminds me of my last ipa after 2 weeks in bottles...after another 3-5 weeks it was amazing...
Ive decided not to transfer to second keg unless absolutley neccesary. My question now is..after being under serving pressure for a week in the fridge. is it best to age this a couple weeks in the fridge or in the closet, co2 hooked up or not hooked up??
do not have a can filter....ill just try and push out the extra debris in the first few pours...Also, The IPA is a bit green. I dry hopped in secondary for a week as suggested per recipe. Then straight to keg in my kegerator under serving pressure. It has been under pressure for almost a week...
Ok, sorry for the multiple posts, but i took the out diptube out and the popit was clogged with hops. Cleaned and runs great now....Still am curious if carbing a keg and then transfering to another keg is ok? I would never do this unless there is an issue as in too much debris. Just curious now...
can i ruin the beer by racking from this keg to another?? I want to clear it up more from debris..but dont want to wreck the brew...It tastes pretty good now...but still very green
hmm...that was my thought as i did dry hop...****...so i gotta pull it out, depressure, take tube out...clean replace hook back up? anything else i should check or can I rack it into another keg?? because i think there is a bit of debris on the bottom and i have a feeling if it happened once...
this is prolly a noob ? but I have 1 corny hooked up as we speak and running about 12psi and it is all good. I recently kegged an IPA and purchased a 4 way co2 manifold to run more kegs. The IPA has been sittin at serving pressure for almost a week now. I just hooked up the out side and tried to...
So I did this last night with a few changes, I added 8 oz. cocoa powder at 15 min remaining in boil then added 3 lbs of raspberries at flameout and let them steep for 15 min. I decided to do a choc. raspberry instead of the blackberry. I hope it turns out well, I am really excited for this one...
so your saying the seeds would only effect the beer if the seeds were "broken". Do you think having whole blackberrys slightly smashed would impart an off flavor??
thanks, should i puree or just add whole blackberrys? if using frozen should i thaw them first? I was thinkin of thawing them and puttin them in a mesh bag if i put them in the end of the boil then dumping them in the primary after they steep for about 20 min
