Oxidised Notes

[itry]

Can some one describe to me what "oxidised notes" in a beer is please?

It's soft of sherry-ish, weird sweetness. You could easily make it happen by opening a bottle of beer, blow into the top of the bottle then seal it up again and leave it for a while. Taste it next to a bottle from the same batch. You get to know the flavour. I thought some kits I had weren't that good but looking back it was oxidation.

Using my auto-siphon "successfully" for the first time I managed to suck a LOT of air through it and oxidized about 4 bottles. I segregated these to consume first. Auto-siphon went in the trash.

They are gone now but had one of the unoxidized bottles last night, Quite the difference in flavor.

All the Best,

If you go on the LOB site there are lots of interesting methods of keeping oxygen out of the beer, I am nearly tempted to try the sugar and bakers yeast in the strike water, that is where oxidation starts, I doubt I will ever do that as my beer doesn't last long enough to be overly concerned with HSA but I do make sure I am careful doughing in and not splashing the paddle around.

They have a good library on there too.

It's often described as wet cardboard in pale styles and sherry notes in darker styles but I've never perceived it in those extreme terms.

As others above have said, I find it presents like a hard candy sweetness that catches the back of the throat.
