@Crucial there usually is about those drinking it but...

Yep anyone who puts a slice of lemon in a beer is seriously whacked in my opinion.

I justified my statement. Just.

Plum Porter - St Peters Brewery kit. Much lighter than Guinness or a Stout and seriously drinkable - can catch up on you

How long did you age that for ?

Looks magnificent by the way.

@MN5

6 weeks in the 5L keg. Had its twin at 4 weeks and was equally good.

Head is good considering I don't really go for fizzy beer.

Regrettably I got a bit generous with some of my stouts ( here, check this out ! Brewed it myself ) and ran out. Had the last of them in mid December and it was outstanding. I really must brew a bunch this Summer and age them in time for the colder months !

@Kruse apart from the tit watch you neglected the other salient point, namely what was the DIPA?

Shining Peak's Double-Skunk-Juice

Thanks I have had Skunk Juice (and Gung Ho) but not tried the Double.

Don't get a lot of SP on tap up in Akl

@dogmeat agreed, DIPA is more important (after several of them) is a great way to go!

Four Pirate Life IIPAs would have me near incapable of providing a quality review.

Who else would I trust to do it?

Victor Meldrew

Folks, how long do you leave your beer to condition/clear?

I have some IPA which is taking an age - 4 weeks so far - and I'm getting impatient.

Depends really.

Hope you’ve found this advice helpful

@Victor-Meldrew what sort of beer is it?

I either do nothing, or use a floating dip tube. Gelatine fining is really good after you have cold crashed. It strips out chill haze as well as floating junk.

Honestly though, I don't worry too much. Beers in the keg drop clear, so it's usually only hop burn from dry hopping I get concerned about.

In terms of timing, cold crash, gelatine and a floating intake get results in a couple of days... But the longer the better. If it's not dropping clear, it may be something in the recipe or the process

nzzp

@Victor-Meldrew ah, IPA. If it's not clear on 4 weeks, it probably won't happen. Try some gelatine if you've got the ability to add it.

Hazy beers don't scare people like they used to

Victor Meldrew

Thanks. It's clearing but uber-slowly. Will give it week or two and see how it tastes.
