Sneaky taste of my Geordie Lager/ Wheat beer

Post by WishboneBrewery » Fri Apr 10, 2009 6:09 pm

I've taken to filling a few 330ml Lefe's when bottling, this way its easy to get a taste of whats conditioning / maturing without cracking open a full 500ml bottle.
The original Idea: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21743&p=244599

Bearing in mind this has only had 9 days in the warm (20 Deg C) followed by a couple of hours in the fridge, its pretty good, the Safbrew WB06 wheat yeast has done its bit with the flavours with a yeasty estery taste, its lacking quite enough fizz but poured with a nice creamy head (3 or 4 more weeks in the cool should help), and I gave the last drop the customary swirl to raise the sediment so it looks like a wheat beer. The Saaz maybe aren't coming through as much as I'd have liked, maybe the wheat and yeast are dampening it down a bit, but its still nice and dry and crisp :)

Fingers crossed, this will improve further, its one to do again :)
