I made a pseudo porter thing from 2kg pale malt, 2kg extra dark DME, oats and target for bittering and a fuggle hop tea at keg/bottling. It finished on keg the other day and was pretty nice. Chocolatey, smooth, pretty alright.
Just tried some that I'd bottled and it was far more bitter and the chocolate just buried. I wondered if the bottle wasn't clean enough or something. It was batch primed so no sugar differences.
After a bit of umming I put my hand over the glass and shook the bejesus out of it - let it settle and boom - lovely again. Almost like it had come out of a handpull.
I'm a bit wowed by this, so is there anything else I should be thinking about on future brews?
Thanks.
