When I brew larger batches I often keg 5 gal and bottle the rest
Only curious if anyone bottle conditions beer at a certain temp and why?
For wheat beers I understand the need to condition at certain temps - fruity esters vs banana vs clove..etc...
What about for other beers?
I'm noticing that beers from the keg are tasting much better than those in the bottle - in a noticeable way. They're not off flavors per se - perhaps the ones from the bottle are less well well rounded - not sure how I would go about describing the difference; only noticeable
When I bottle I tend to leave them in the back room where its room temperature and let them chill till i want to drink one.
The force carbed ones are in my kegerator at serving temp.
One I try one of each - its super clear which is better; the keg
Any thoughts?
