That will still be a bloody lovely beer I bet.

I’m just too impatient and not experienced enough. Will be definitely leaving my brews longer before drinking them.

Well yea. I was aware of that. But my first keg was just Mosaic all the way. I have learned to be respectful of Galaxy. (My last 5 or so brews have had Galaxy in them) I genuinely don’t think it’s time. I reduced the Galaxy to avoid it’s harshness. I think it’s temperature. From cold crash to...

So. Kicked my first 12l keg. Gave around a third of it away. It was possibly a bit over-carbed. Just tried the second keg, this one has been sitting at room temp for about 10 days at 20psi, with no cannister attached. Wow. Far more like Putty. It’s spicy, more Galaxy comes to the fore...

So my final thoughts on my Putty clone. Needs more Galaxy and less Mosaic. I think it also needs more hops in general, just not in your face enough. It’s a nice beer. But it’s not Putty. The merest hint in the taste and smell. But mosaic dominates.

Hop flavour will last a good while in a Keg. It’s important not to purge it too much, just set your carbonation PSI and leave it for a week. Then purge to serving pressure. I’ve had NEIPAs in a keg for over a month and they have still been great up until the keg is done. Obviously the first...

Keruso. I don’t think 50g of Galaxy in the whirlpool will cause too much of an issue. Might even improve the flavour. May mean you need to condition a little longer as Galaxy is a bitter old beast. If you are bottling, try and avoid as much oxygen getting in as humanly possible. Purge each...

First pour. Kegged 22 litres. It came out at 7.3% in the end or thereabouts. fg was 1.011. Which is very dry actually. Too dry. Needs the sweetness. But I wanted a lot of beer. So I compromised there. There is that kind of Dextrose cideriness about it. Unavoidable, as I wanted 25 or so litres...

Usually just purge the headspace with CO2 and put a cork in the hole. Never had an issue doing it this way.

After raising the temp to 22 for a couple of days I have got the OG down to 1.011. Dry hops went in 3 days ago and it’s aroma is really close to Putty now Flavour wise it’s not quite there, but it’s really not a million miles away. Mouthfeel is good. Could be a little softer. Colour is very...

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

At first it was a bit shaky. But I actually took a real gravity reading and gave it a little nudge and it’s back on point. It’s a couple of points out perhaps. Good enough to give me an idea of how things are going generally. It’s a bit of a toy. It's not as accurate as it could be. But it's...

It’s now at around 1.020 so am ramping the temp up over the next few days. Hoping to get it to between 1.011 - 1.014 or so by Friday morning to then add the big dry hop over the weekend. Then will cold crash it down.

First time using a Tilt for this brew. It’s gone back up to 1.032. After going down to 1.020 after chucking in some biotransform hops. Possibly didnt help that I added the tilt after 3 days into fermentation as I got it for my birthday and you are supposed to add it at the start. . Seems to have...

It's fermenting pretty fast. Already at 1.020 - Dry hopped yesterday. Looking pretty murky.. Should complete fermentation in a day or so... Then the big dry hop charge
