Feck Test!

[Vossy1]

So, pass or fail ???

are you kidding, it don't get much better, well done that man :clap:
IME, Beer ages more rapidly in bulk, bottles remain fresher for longer both in terms of aroma, taste, and for me type of bitterness. That can be a good thing, especially if you don't drink in bulk and want it to remain fresher for longer.
Think of lower gravity beers as having a life expectancy, they're constantly deteriorating/conditioning and will go past an optimum for you eventually, it's just a case of finding when that is, it's different from one person to the next :thumb:

[brewtim]

Two weeks from grain to glass and a fecking tasty pint it is :

 

[Vossy1]

That's great going Tim :clap: and a pass :hat:
Did you use finings, I'm assuming so given time frame, but you never know?

I used a small dose of isinglass just to get it as clear as poss in the corny, but the Ringwood yeast had cleared pretty well before that.

[Vossy1]

Not used that one before, looks like a very kind yeast

 

[leedsbrew]

I know it's not strictly a feck test but was quite happy with the result from Nottingham and gelatine with an AIPA

Room temp straight from the FV at kegging

Today at about 1oC from the keg after cold conditioning!

 

[PD]

very nice

 

[Vossy1]

I know it's not strictly a feck test

:nah: :lol:

 

[phettebs]

It has only been about 4 weeks since I brewed this IPA and I used US05 so I'm quite pleased with the relative clarity so far.

 

[Vossy1]

One of the best Barry :hat: a sure pass.....how the hell did you bully the US05 down in that time :lol:

 

[phettebs]

Nothing fancy really. Two weeks in the primary followed by one week with the FV in the fridge. It doesn't usually clear that well that quickly!
