Hi all,
5 weeks ago made the Morland Old Speckled Hen recipe from Graham Wheeler's 'Brew Your Own'.
Fermented for a week which bought it close to F.G then have had it in the cask for the last 4 weeks. Just pulled a 1/4 pint off and the remainder of the pint glass is full of froth - but the beer itself contains no carbonation and is quite flat (whereas the head is uber-lively !!) Tastes & colours are good (quite clear) - altho now (20 mins after tasting) I have a powdery/furry taste in my mouth ? I'm assuming it's 'green' and needs more time to vent down to normal condition ? I did slowly release some pressure from the cask cap before opening the bottom tap and quite a lot of pressure was present/expelled...
Any help appreciated - my first ever batch so I hope it's not kaputten ! :pray:
Cheers all, Neil.
