Too early for beer but enjoying a kombucha, it's kind of like a sour.

A few questions.
How long do you DH for? And what temps?
Do you do closed transfers and other techniques to minimize oxygen?
What hops did you use for this one?
What carb levels are you bottling at?
Dry hop normally for 3 days at room temperature so 19 degrees. Hops for this one is 120g of citra, 100g Idaho 7 and 60g of Chinook split between hop stand and dry hop.
Try my best for closed transfer as much as possible. Fermentation capped after dry hop to build pressure then connected to the keg with a quick connect. Keg well purged plus purged again when filled with beer. Carbonation level is low, this beer is only 4 days in the keg. So maybe aroma will improve. It tastes alot better than the aroma👍👍
 
Enjoying a pint of 'Bonus Points' after an evening surf! It's my first attempt at AG brewing and it's lush! Small batch (sadly!), stove top biab, following @clib 'have a go' thread, and Greg Hughes pale ale recipe. Thank you both! (Unfortunately, my second attempt at exactly the same thing has not been as successful! Boo!)
Cheers all!

Bonus Points because it was supposed to be 3.8% and it turned out 5.5%! 😄
 
bought this to dry hop, then I realized they are twist offs. Hopefully the new caps hold the carbonation in. This is almost as good as I remember and will make a good hop trial base.

Two pints from as local brew pub - The Wayfarer (Problem Child brewery). Beers were Covid themed: Vaccine and Isolation. Good quality beers with decent body and yeast character. Almost Belgian in nature (some isoamyl acetate in there, but it worked well). I would love to get the recipe for vaccine, some peppery orangey spiciness on top of a good malty base.

I am not sure about this, you should be getting some good aroma with those kind of hops and that timing. Maybe it will help once it's fully carbed and has had more time to settle.
 
Well someone has to be first I guess. 😉
Starting today with a Summer Breeze 3. It has quite a strong hoppy aroma and has a hoppy flavour but I’m just not sure - the flavour profile is too far removed from the real Summer Breeze. I’ll enjoy this keg all the same, then put it to rest and move on.
