Beer Tasting kit beers 2: Lagers
I tasted and analysed two Lager extract kit beers, brewed with Lizz’s Fizz Lager Beer Kit and here are some comments.
Thank you to Ben and to Sonette for their samples!
Ben’s beer sample (pictured below) had a nice foam and good colour. It had a slight clove flavour, indicating there could have been some wild yeasts that were present besides the brewing yeast that was added.
Sonette’s sample was clean-tasting with no noticeable off-flavours. The hygiene in brewing must have been very good! Also a nice foam (when poured) and colour.
Analysis of the samples:
Ben’s
Specific gravity 1.002 , pH 4.2 so very well fermented out. This means a bit more alcohol! Estimated alcohol 5%.
Sonette’s
Specific gravity 1.008, pH 4.6. Estimated alcohol 4.5%
These results were as expected, so good use of the kit to get the desired outcome.
Specific gravity was measured with a hydrometer.
Looking forward to the next samples.
