I think the clever money is on Liberty Bell being a blend of something estery and something clean that floculates well.
If that's true, then surely the estery-but-not flocculating yeast still wouldn't floculate. So liberty bell (in its entirety) wouldn't be a well-flocculating yeast?
 
I kegged the DIPA version of my Butterfly Effect a short while ago, the FG was 1017 giving me a tad over 8%.

The colour is not quite where I wanted, it’s a little too orange, but the beer does have quite a lot of sediment in suspension. Hopefully as it settles out it will become a bit less orange!

On my return from Cyprus I’ve reinstated my brewshed and I have beers back on-line. 🥳

As always a little taste test is required…

Pilsner - nice, Schwarzbier - nice

Best Bitter - very nice, Dark Mild - nice and actually more fruity as it’s aged.

We have a word here for you it’s “slabber” 😂😂😜😜
 
I know of “slabber” as someone who dribbles and as someone who rants on and needs a slap. Just curious if there might be another meaning or if I should just sit quietly 😉
Slabber means: Someone who is mouthy, and can be arrogant or annoying. A cheeky Slabber is someone who has usually said something offensive and this phrase is used to describe them.

It can be said several ways depending on the situation. Even a term of endearment “your a slabber”
Or “he’s nothing but a slabber” meaning he is full of sheite

In this case it is used as- slabber “bit of a show off” but in a friendly way 😜

That's a lot of tasting! 👍
Making me very envious (and thirsty!)
 
Yesterday I managed to keg and bottle my latest batch of Imperial stout. It had a slightly higher than expected FG so is 11% rather than 12%. Filled the keg to the gas diptube and filled 15 x 330ml bottles. The bottles are primed, the keg is on nitro.

Sight for sore eyes...😳👌..bet the nitro kegged ale will be superbly smooth

Yes, so far it’s looking that way. The regular stout on nitro is smooth, the barrel-aged imperial is smooth, and the latest imperial on nitro is actually very drinkable already - only kegged a few days ago!

In fact, after cleaning my beer lines this morning I’ve put the imperial stout on in place of the barrel-aged imperial. This is in part so I can save some of the barrel-aged for Christmas because we’re getting through it (did I say “we”? 😂).
