A couple of weeks ago I posted a thread here ref- 'Hot break question' asking weather it was an advantage to skim the foam that formes at the start of the boil :wha: . What prompted the question was a discussion with my mate while we were brewing my Sam Adams style Boston larger which we did in fact skim :pray: . Well I thought I would post the result of our expriment. :ugeek: ........... The brew is now in the bottle after largering & it is absolutly crystal cleer & I mean crystal cleer, :thumb: I have cracked open a bottle & it has carbonated perfectly & tastes fantastic with a nice malty crispness with slight sweetness :drink: I am still not sure whether the clarity was down to the skimming or whatever but Im certainly going to do this again in the future :thumb: . any further thoughts on this?
