AG10 - Cascadian dark Ale

[Jon474]

Put AG10 into a cask this afternoon. Usual frustrations with home brewing equipment - top tap kegs (I hate them but I can't afford £45 on a new bottom tap version); leaking taps; black lids that don't fit properly...wash with bleach then rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse. Just added some CO2 to the cask...and of course now the seal around the S30 looks weak and the tap begins to drip. Quickly unscrewed the lid, tightened with a spanner, and stuck some more gas in.

Anyway, even after all that faffing about it still looks like a reasonable pint to me...





Loving it.

Cheers
Jon

that looks fantastic. I love the idea of this. I'm just rejigging my planned brews to fit one in

Having tasted the final version, I will scale back the roast flavours another 1% - to 5% from 6% - as I think those flavours could be a little too strong. There's not much in it but it's worth experimenting with slightly less.

Another point...the yeast needs to be a dry clean finisher. There is a White Labs yeast from the Pacific North west...might give that a go.

I will make this again.
