Brewing Competition Beers! (English Porter & American Porter)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- In prep for the National Homebrew Competition (NHC), and some other spring time competitions, I brew two batches of Porter. One is the 3rd version of my "Road to Gold American Porter." The other is a batch of my Goad Medal winning English Porter (with a few tweaks). Can I win a medal in the American Porter category? Can I strike again with my English Porter. A busy brew day, and I fit in time to keg two fermenters of my Helio Gazer IPA.
P.S. I know I said National Homebrew "Con" several times when I meant to say "Competition"!

Busy, busy, busy........well done :) Looking forward to how they taste and how you do in the competition.
Since it took me a while to get the video edited together and posted, I just got back some scores on these beers this past weekend from other competitions. The NHC judging should have happened this past weekend, but I won't hear the results for a few weeks. Of the two, the American Porter turned out better.
The party balloon is interesting. Is that a closed CO2 transfer, but the balloon gives some flex in the system? Thus you can use gravity and don't need to push the beer out under pressure?
I should put out a video on the balloons. They help with avoiding pulling air into the fermenter when cold crashing or when taking gravity samples from the spigot. There is not enough CO2 in the balloon to fill the headspace, but I do use gravity to transfer into a keg. I have a video on that process here: ua-cam.com/video/qs1f369QcLA/v-deo.html
You sale? By the way I subscribed
Sale? These beers did okay in competitions, but the English Porter turned out a bit bland and I got mixed feedback on the American Porter. I did win one Bronze with the American Porter. Thanks for the sub!
