Salty bandaids.

Brilliant!

Chlorophenols will give you a band aid flavor... any untreated tap water go into that brew?

Salty... I have no idea.

Since you used RO, I'm thinking there's a possible infection.

Lol... now I need to PKU myself because I didn't even see that.

 

[finsfan]

Hang onto your butts, this is gonna be long

Yeah... And how much coffee dip****?

This is like the rate my recipe thread where they ask what they should brew in the first post. Expected more from a pro.

Morning!

Half pound coarse ground coffee in five gallons. Now do you have answer?

Whole bean, cracked or ground? Is this a 10 gal batch?

See above.

Well actually....



Good on TG for doing another big beer... I like their beers a lot, but have always wondered why they went so small on the BS and it's variants.



If it's even half as good as Big RICC, I'll be buying it quite a bit. The salted caramel that I've tasted in most of these beers (NB's especially) has always been really subdued. Like... barely there. If it's complimentary to the malt, I could see this one being a winner with spice from the Belgian yeast.



@finsfan , have you tried that yet?

I havent had the version with caramel and salt but the regular bdsa was damn good. Really excited for that one. Sending a whole case to cad when we trade too

Guess they trust that the cans are sanitary coming from the canner. Just remove the dust. I'm surprised that they are not more paranoid that there are some bugs in cans. Though the cans should be fairly sanitary from the canner

Not sure what you mean here. The process starts by the cans going through a water rinse upside down, being tipped eight side up under a cover and pushed into the filling unit. No sanitizer goes in them on our end. They may be cleaned before they arrive here but idk.

Fins is going to infect every last one of those.



Also, @finsfan ... is there a way we can tell what ones you canned?



Like, I know that one dude who packed up my honey bunches of oats from that little code on there.

Anything that is "best by" dated on or after 7/8/2016 will be me.

Wife (of all people) making me regret not applying at our local brewery now, despite it likely being a huge pay cut. Damn you for talking me out of it @finsfan !

Woah never, i jokingly said you weren't qualified before you're not responsible (which was a listed qualification). It was a joke!

I just did 7 days on mine and I'm happy with the results.

Awesome, thanks! Ill give it a try here tomorrow and see where its at.

About to drink some free beer on the porch. Funkin beautiful out today.

Taste it at 3 days.

Hilarious. Really.

Also, I'm excited to see it too.

Are you the sole canner???

 

[TobyG]

Any one here a brew expert? 😀 What causes salty flavor in ipa? I use RO, looked at mineral content and sodium is at 30ppm. Also, there's a slight plastic (bandaid?) flavor. This is a pilsner mosaic smash ipa. Tasted this in retails also..

There are polyphenols created from grains and hops that can become chlorophenolic depending on the overall water content. Did you treat your water all as one or only treat the mash? What was your water treatment? What temperature did you add the salts at? Without having tasted it yet, my first thought would be high sulfate and hopping levels. High sulfate can have a salty/minerally taste. Hopping levels (especially massive late/dry hopping) can add significant chlorophyl that may come off as medicinal/green/grassy.

Can I let go of my butt now?

Just got reamed because I didn't drive a truck that doesn't run back to the office to sell it. Told him 2 months ago we needed to scrap the thing. Acted like it was his idea.

Fantastic boss. Seriously top notch dude.

@finsfan - not going to quote your longass post. Pretty surprised they don't do any sanitizing of cans as they go through the line. The cans are delivered open on the pallets right? Sounds similar to not sanitizing your bottles since you bought them new from the LHBS, but instead just rinsing them with water and calling it a day.

They have a layer of paper/plastic to separate the layers and on top. They should be coming from the manufacturer fairly clean and just have some dust in there. I'm sure they are not the only ones that do that. Guess its common. I can ask around to breweries here.

 

[iijakii]

Well it's good to know your beers don't have extra chemicals in them.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

*blocked* .

Wat?

 

[Qhrumphf]

Getting so tired of dumb.

Drinking one of these beauties, guess I'll watch Peterborough and West Brom go to penalties.

Edit: Now, with pic!

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Hilarious. Really.

Are you the sole canner???

I'd say taste after 24 hours and again every 12 after to fine tune it, otherwise it'll go sump on you

You butt is safe.

No not the sole canner, I pack most if not all the beers though. There are four other people that overlap on two shifts. The others will fill kegs, take beers off during the run to analyze, keep cans upright on the line when they tip, add another pallet when cans run out, make sure the fill heads are working probably, etc. yesterday i stayed late since they were running so many kegs and packed every single can. If i keep doing first shift (7-3) i will do probably 75% of the cans. It prints the time so you could theoretically tell if i packed it or not based on the date.

I was too. The pallets come in with a plastic sheet type cover on every row, so essentially every can is covered in theory. Every beer is pasteurized so infection wouldn't be an issue, just off flavor probably.


Having this dankness. I think its old. Ethos was good but this is a great replacement. Smelled great when cans crushed today. Crystal and amarillo for hops.

Unbelievable how fast this little animal can make the worst day, just fine. Warming up before getting taxes done.

Pasteurized after the can is filled?

Nice. Can't wait to tell people that I know the guy who canned this (as condescendingly as possible, of course).

 

[finsfan]

Technically you only know the guy who packs four packs in boxes and boxes on pallets haha. I do the occasional tipped over beer saving when necessary.

 

[BGBC]

Before.

Soooo, you tryna tell me that a pasteurized beer can't be infected if it enters an unsanitized container?

Dammit fins.

 

[finsfan]

I wouldn't tell you that, just my thought since yeast are dead. I assume its still possible?

 

[finsfan]

Dammit fins.

As far as I'm concerned just tell them i brewed it with you!

 

[iijakii]

Not the beer yeasties they're worried about, but wild yeasties and lacto etc in the cans. But seems the cans are mfgd a bit sanitarily. words.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Another busy day at work done. Picked up some more hopslam after work. Debating about saving the '12 bcbs growler for tomorrow night and drinking it while brewing. Can't make up my mind.
