And the last of the extract brews is in the keg… It’s for the Super Bow…. BIG GAME in February… Any whoo it’s a Kolsch style ale so by far the lightest I’ve ever done. And by light I mean I can’t hide any screw ups in the brewing process.
With the restart of the brewing hobby (3 batches in the last two months) I’ve moved to a bucket for a primary fermenter (heck of a lot easier to clean) and have moved the carboy to secondary fermenter status. Previously I was using the keg as the secondary fermenter and ager which led to some funkiness (and not in a good way) to the beer. The last two batches have employed the carboy for secondary fermentation and the keg for aging with distinctly better results.
And because I’m always looking for a excuse to use my iPhone… here is a time lapse of transfering the Yellow King Kolsch from the carboy to the keg.
The sediment on the bottom of the carboy? That’s after a 24 cold crash…. and I wonder why the other beers tasted kind of funky.
Well other then the lines.
