Anyone oud bruining today?

[lordstilton]

How you going to transfer to Dodge? You going to have a dedicated sour corny?

[imark]

A cornie is SS so no need to dedicate it. You might want to change the O-rings though. I've reused and not even changed the o-rings without a problem.

[lordstilton]

Grand job.

Domestos gets rid of everything anyway. If it can make your jax shine, just imagine how clean your cornies will be.

I've my OB in glass, and for tranfer to dodge's I'll stick it in a corny. But Domestos* will be used liberally afterwards.

* Not be actual Domestos. Cheaper equivalent from Lidl may be used

Domestos has a surfactant which makes it pretty bad for this type of stuff as it makes it it harder to take off, cheaper thin bleach as you reference is a much better alternative, that said a quick wash with star san post bleaching removes all traces of chlorine smells.

[imark]

Thought I read bleach can cause damage to stainless. Maybe I'm wrong?

I wash mine with oxi and rinse with water. Then I give it a rinse with starsan.

[lordstilton]

Anyone got some spare Munich? I can replace it next week. It's all I'm shy for doing another batch

[lordstilton]

Lars just got in touch to say he can sort me out.. I have everything else.. I can help you out if needed.. I'm in work tonight and tomorrow night so can drop around

[lordstilton]

So do you need any specialties?

[lordstilton]

I'll do you up a bag today or tomorrow so

[lordstilton]

Grand so.. It would be as handy to pick it up from you

[imark]

Maybe we should organise an informal oud bruin competition for September meet up?

Initial taste Mark?  I'm making my second batch today.

[imark]

Tastes fine for something just out of fermenter. No off flavours. Can get the lactic acid but not overly pronounced. Hopefully will develop further with some more time and warmer weather.
I've got 5L extra that won't go in the barrel. Will be interesting to compare later.

What recipe did you follow for your second one? I've another Oud Bruin in using the same culture but different recipe.
