As i'm not very flush right now and my Taipan Grand Reserve still tastes like a drain cleaner i need advice. I'm going to Latvia on Tuesday for one week and only have 2 cornies one to be filled with Taipan 5 on Monday and the other already filled with a poor tasting chimay grand reserve. To the point should i brew a Hobgoblin clone considering i can leave it as my brewing area so far hasn't reached over 19 degrees and leave it til i come back and then dump my Chimay leaving two full, one almost ready to drink cornies

or should i continue to hope the chimay will come good? A = dump the chimay B = keep the chimay come on help me guys cause as you all know it's hard to dump a beer

great thanks, i don't understand why would it be necessary to mash for 3-3.5 hours for any brew can you explain that to an eejit?

Hector must be a very fit pup 3 - 3.5 hrs
Or are various watering holes taken in along the way

Why not bottle some of the Chimay anyway to see if it's any good in a couple of months?

Poor dog either has the legs walked off him or he's tied to a pole for 3 hours

Maybe but right now i already have 2 750ml bottles from the fermenter and the kegged stuff just seems more like whiskey port or something sick like that. It really tastes wrong, maybe cause i ended up using safale s04 instead of the intended yeast

He usually sits on a bar stool next to me

I hope you are not giving the dog the cheap stuff when you're munching away on the finer beers

Does Hector become protective over his area when sat for any period
Our 2 will be nice as pie for the first 30 mins in a pub but then....oh yes but then..... if any stranger comes within 6' of the table all hell lets lose
