Hi,

Pretty poor that's all they can get. Red said he made a buttload of it. Are you getting one of each?

Cheers,

Thats plan, also epic/brewdog portamarilo

[Richo]

Infinium - Taste and smells similar to a Belgium triple, but a little more malt and hops. To me, its all about the yeast taste (not that there was any floating around in large amounts)

Very carbonated. The cork almost popped out on its own.

Very hard to pour, it wanted to turn into foam... although I blame AMSs' dirty glassware..... so totally not me

Quite dark - orange-y brown thing happening

** Yeast tastes may or may not be something else.. its what it reminded me of.

Dude, it's because you pour like a Parkinson's sufferer.

Hi,

Sounds to me like your beer was OLD and not transported/stored in a very good fashion.

Cheers,

[Richo]

Why is that ?

[skillionaire]

Hi,

Excessive foaming is usually an indication of bottle impurity or sometimes too high a serving temp - unlikely with that brew though, so I'd say it's copped a lot of heat in transport/storage resulting in the foam.

Dirty glassware will impede head, not increase it.

Cheers,

"or sometimes too high a serving temp"

might have been a factor, it wasn't as cold as I would have liked

"I'd say it's copped a lot of heat in transport/storage resulting in the foam"

would not surprise me :/

Don't get me wrong, it was still a fairly nice drink. I guess for something staying within the rei.... "retarded bavarian purity law" ....ghooot, it was a very good brew

Hi,

So it is made with no yeast what so ever?

Cheers,
Nik

[B4TT]

Why would it be made with no yeast?

Oh yeah the Reinheitsgebot!! I get ya.

[skillionaire]

Hi,

I don't know how to say it or spell it, but I was under the impression the original purity law did not mention yeast.

Wild yeast would suffice I suppose?!

Cheers,

Note that no yeast was mentioned in the original text. It was not until the 1800s that Louis Pasteur discovered the role of microorganisms in the process of fermentation; therefore, yeast was not known to be an ingredient of beer. Brewers generally took some sediment from the previous fermentation and added it to the next, the sediment generally containing the necessary organisms to perform fermentation. If none were available, they would set up a number of vats, relying on natural yeast to inoculate the brew.

Day one seems to be going good, still a very slow bubble but I expect that, sitting at around 20'ish degrees.
