Evening everyone
just came in from a night at the local ale house and checked on the brews i have going at the moment.
one is a Becks clone and the other is Edworts Apfelwein.
they were both brewed yesterday, but the airlock bubbles are the stuff of nightmares !
Apfelwein seems ok... very sweet.... just as it went into the carboy.
but Becks smells something similar to what you might expect from rotting cabbage ... or that of a corpse
ingredients
made to 23 L
3L extract lager
12g Hallertau
Saflager S23 yeast
OG 1.041
the extract can did have some funky lumpy stuff at the top under the lid but seemed normal under that... do extract cans have a use by date???? didnt check it before discarding.... and have not used this brand before.....
sorry for the noobie questions
cheers
