Nut Up or Shut Up Brown Ale...in a PBR glass. |
When I brew, I don't usually just throw out the last bit that won't fit into a full 12oz bottle. I always bottle this amount too with the idea that I will try it after a couple days before it has time to oxidize or spoil in any way. I tried the Belboh last night that I had bottled just recently. It was already lightly carbonated. I really enjoyed the hop flavor that seemed to pervade the beer well. It wasn't overly bitter, but this was my first batch since I started brewing again that I dropped in late-boil hops.
I had been using hops for bitterness, then dry-hopping, but putting some hops in the last 10-20 minutes of the boil really does fantastic things to your beer! I won't brew without some finishing and dry hops from this point forward.
