Day 35 (Tuesday 28/09/21) and all is good in the good! No problems here..except from the Autumnal weather has smashed in very quickly! So this one was a 450ml Green Grolsch Overfilled 5 days carb and 30 days fridge. The hop smell remains fresh and the beer remains as good as day 5 when the...

Day 32 (Saturday 25/09/21) - 450ml Grolsch bottle with a normal fill 5 days carbing 27 days fridge. Carbonation good but the standard now. Smell surprisingly still present of hops. Flavour may be on the slide for the non overfilled bottles as I'd say it's all a little mellower than the overfill...

Day number 30 (23/09/21) - 450ml overfilled 5 days carbing, 22 days fridge 2 days car 1 fridge. This was because I took this on a trip to Devon, UK. Carbonation great. Still hoppy and fruity in both flavour and smell. Hasn't changed one bit the overfilled version. P.s. look at theses cakes

Day 24 (18/09/21). 5 days carbing before being fridged at 2-6C for 19 days. 500ml Brown Overfilled Fliptop Variable. The carbonation on this one and it's only been a problem on this bottle so far was lackluster during the pour. However was carbed inside. The seal I believe wasn't great on this...

Completely irrelevant but I am currently enjoying a Westmalle Tripel 👌. So on to my Session Hazy. Well what more is there to say. After my Triple NE IPA went surprisingly well. I wanted to try something which I could get more out of and drink more of rather than a 10% which was a struggle to...

Sorry guys to reboot an old thread (of mine) but I brewed a Session Hazy IPA using the same process (no method of O2 avoidance other than being careful), bottled filling normal Vs filling high both with no SMB in 450ml and 500ml bottles (4 variables) and I've just crack the first bottle (albeit...

On to the last one! I know you're all bored because nothing has happened. I'm sorry to inform you nothing has changed there. Last bottle no SMB just filled high day 76 (9 days in fridge). More carbonation. More Hop and stone fruit smell. More alcoholic taste but more fruity flavours. The two no...

Day 69 (2 days in fridge). Not much else to say but the 3ml SMB solution was still great. Again not completely carbed as I've had issue all along. But flavours great and smell is great. It's such a shame I only have one left (no SMB so the real test). I don't know what I have done right but this...

61 days in total! Double whammy today! First two picture are the 0.01g SMB (3 days in fridge) and the second two are the 3ml solution (2 days in fridge). No oxidation at all. If anything both take and smell better than ever. This may be the placebo effect as I haven't had one in a while and I'm...

52days and 1 day in the fridge. This was the 1ml SMB solution. So 1) it's dark and grey outside and I found it hard to take picture of to truly reflect the colour 2) the beer has changed in flavour slightly due to longer conditioning. So I think this has got a little darker but it was...

I was wondering how it looks like literal orange juice! So opaque!!

Just a quick update today. 1ml/SMB solution Bottle 28days Carb time and 18days in the fridge. There was no difference IMO apart from what I believe to be a running theme the SMB solution bottles have struggled to carb (as quickly..maybe it's a time thing) as the powdered SMB and no SMB bottles...

Day 27 8day fridge and these carb levels are hit and miss. No colour change no sulfur smell or taste and this being the second highest SMB dosage that's great news (3ml solution bottle). However if the the no SMB bottle that is currently sitting at room temp with the 4 other variables isn't...

Day 31 and England can't even beat Scotland! So this beer is on which was fridged on day 27 has been in the fridge for 4 days. So first things first, I went into this quasi-experiment expecting the higher SMB quantities to cause less carbonation (especially with a high percentage ABV). So this...

On day 27 I popped them all in the fridge at 1.5C to pressseeeerveeeee these boys, except 5 of which I kept out at room temp for research purposes (1 of each experimental variable). So today's is a day 27 1 day fridge and the first no SMB bottle since the first one I tried at day 5. The smell...

Hello French Open, Euros, Test Cricket Fans, So we're onto day 24 and 1 day in the fridge and we're looking good. The carb was near perfect I think I'm going to fridge them tomorrow or Monday! So the beer didn't have much smell because I poured into an English hybrid/Guinness pint glass so I'm...

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my thread 👍 That is really interesting. In the 0.01g SMB bottles (500ml) this equates to 0.36g/18 Litre, in the 1ml solution it's at quantity of 0.27g/18 Litre so both at a higher rate than yours producing no eggy sulphurous smell. I wonder again...

Sorry I thought you were speaking in third person 🤦🏻‍♂️. Okay I'm now even more curious to know the amount 🤣 as I'm detecting no sulfur smells at all coming from the ones I've opened however I am yet to open a 0.03g or 3ml solution SMB bottle. So that may change things.
