Ps, now the beers warmed up to 13 deg from 1 deg it's clear as a bell, though it still smells of farts

Is it worth checking with a third party that your farts don't smell of beer?

Don't need a third party to confirm that

Getting to the bottom of the 1st corny of this brew now and it's turning out to be excellent
The sprout like smell has gone and it's clear as a bell.

This is a fantastic beer and I'll be doing another one very soon, and I think the US-05 will get a reprieve, to be used again

Well just tapped the 3rd corny and it would appear that all the old advice about leaving a beer to mature was right

It's polished and there is no hint of the sprout type smell that I encountered with the earlier/less matured versions of the brew.

Lesson learned

From made to drinkable 10 weeks....about right

One of the benefits of a 60ltr brew length is that at least one of the cornys "should" last until it is matured

That sounds like a challenge to me

Nice one Vossy, glad to hear it turned out good in the end. Wish I could make enough to last for ten weeks.

Great result

It's amazing how much beer can change after leaving it for a few weeks. There's nothing more satisfying then drawing off a pint of a beer after forgetting about it for a few weeks and discovering it's in that 'just right' phase. More often than not, for me anyway, it's the last two or three of the batch Cascade, especially, benefits from a little age for the flavours to come into balance. Any SNPA clone i've made tastes crap until a month and a half after i've made it, then it becomes a completely different beer.
