Completely closed fermentation, start to finish. OG and FG hit perfectly.
10 lbs 2 row
1 lb chocolate
1 lb crystal 80L
1 lb roasted
12 oz black patent
1 oz fuggles 60 minutes
Safale yeast
After 3 weeks, impossible to gas off. super carbed beer foamed out of gas post.
Decanted into ale pail. STRAIGHT foam start to finish.
Beer gassed off for 3 days, slow bubble in air lock.*impossible to say, but I doubt much fermentation happened, if any at this point. Very little gas for super carbed beer to flat*
After 3 days of no activity, FG stable and where it should be (yes I dusted off the hydrometer for this one
) racked into keg and fast carbed.
Plenty of Head, head retention about wht would be expected. Flavor seems right on to me.
Taste tested:
BMC drinker: Yummy! Tastes like guinness........
Beer geek(not me): tastes good, no off flavors, a little dryer than expected but good
Me: Spot on as if I had fermented with an airlock. (I assumed that I might be biased)
I think in the future, maybe a slightly early closed secondary might be good. carb up the beer slightly, hook up gas and toss in keezer after 2 weeks.
