Brewnight 30/04/2007 London Pride

[Niall K]

Thanks Daab. Going to order my ingredients tonight for London Pride and HobGlobin....

[Bigster]

For the record dry hopped with 15g goldings.

Slightly dissappointed with this one a week in to the keg- imo opinion this is the peak time for fresh taste but not this one . Achieved the not so bitter taste I was looking for but the shenanagins with the mash temp has meant I finished up at 1016 ( from a 1050 start) even though I used nottingham yeast.

Hoping it will drop a few more points but not so sure - anyway still drinkable just not to my taste. Will reign in my OTT grain bill I think to 10% extra not 20%.

1318 London Ale Yeast III. From traditional London brewery with great malt and hop profile. True top cropping strain, fruity, very light, soft balanced palate, finishes slightly sweet. Flocculation - high; apparent attenuation 71-75%. (64-74° F, 18-23° C)

Ideal for London Pride

Wyeast 1968 is allegedly the Fuller's strain

too true daab

I will leave the London Pride for another week before tasting again.

The remnants of the corni of Bishops Tipple has 'developed' a taste similar to the TTL I brewed and , it may be my imagination, it tastes like the smell of that horrible syrupy stuff stored in cornies ( if this makes sense ) and after all that cleaning ...

Must get that King Keg down for the next brew

Have replaced the o rings that the tubing fits in to and the large O ring on the lid. Couldnt get the poppets out on this keg so have just boiled in oxycleaner avoiding dramatic boilovers.

wondering whether dip tube to blame?

[Bigster]

Bishops Tipple now gone.

Oddly the last pint was very cloudy and thick like engine oil. The beer was clear ( and normal viscosity) the pint before the last.

Now I would understand this on a KK where the tap is above the sediment but on the corni the dip tube goes right to the very bottom of the keg.

This is normal - happens all the time for me.
