coopers bitter

[Wekslap]

Originally 91grammes. Just cos that's all I had. But I lost pressure cos seal was twisted and I didn't realise till I tried a trial taste a week or so after barrelling. So half in panic and half organised I opened up lid reseated seal and put Vaseline on replaced lid and tightened carefully and gently this time. Oh, and injected a small bulb of co2. It now seems i think to be holding pressure but i think I lost the original pressure from priming sugar. As I say it now pours nice, not gushing but nice. Has a head but beer itself I thought would have more sparkle or co2 in it. I'm not sure if what I've got is from the injector or the original priming.

Sorry for the long reply I was just trying to explain the process of how it happened

Thanks

+1 on the Goldings, but really any aromatic hops would work for dry-hopping. Be creative and use any you like.

Like your thinking here seymour, I was planning to enhance a Woodfordes Admirals Reserve kit with some Fuggles, but now it's going to get a Chinook hit

You normally get eggy sulphurous smells from cold fermented lagers, but I got that same smell from a Brewferm Grand Cru once, that got a bit too warm.

What temperature are you brewing at?
