Ehm... is it that bad? Too much oxi inside? Sometimes I leave the bottles overnight under the cups but not pressed out. And what is your advice here?

Oh, thanks. And yes but,,, no

Firstable, instead of ascorbic acid I use Brewtan B for my light and hoppy quick-to-wee ones.

Secondable, there above is the dark beer and it's the storey about the malts, not of centennials, citraz or columbussiz. Hops only work as a preservative there.

Thriceable. Bad news, folks: I do, really do blend my beers in a way the Belgian (former) rednecks do the same. I mean my dubbel or farmhouse ale are the easiest ones. My Flemmish red ales or Lambic or Gueuze ales are way crazier. To begin with, they are fermented by means of wild strains. Then I keep them in plasic "carboys" for oxidation (up to 18 months "thru the wall" O2 diffusion) and then I blend them with some newer ones to finally bottle in glass. After all, I keep'em bottled for half a year more and only then can get my pervert oxy satisfaction.

Sorey, now you know it all and hafta live with it all your lives long

Sometimes it does, lol. This time, the "trappist" label is missing, innit?

Try!

Yummy! It's kinda "gold" / not dark thang, right? More or less like trippel, nah?

LordL wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 10:03 am Yes, but undershot abv, landed at 7.2. kind of surprised because I thought I had my efficiency tuned in, should have been a solid 8.5. but yes, wyeast 3522, lots of pilsenmalt, biscuit malt and another lighter special I can't remember. Could have abused the yeast more though, not quite the esterbomb I hoped for.. I blame low OG!

Talking of Belgium... co-fermentation of some "their" strain with Voss Kveik is what I love to do time and again. Doesn't matter if it's Dubbel or Kriek. The more I live the more I learn... and suddenly today was learning a guy to "handle" his RIS-ferment. Was talking of elementary points to him but he sed I was kinda proffie. That made me lold.
