Our building got struck by lightning a few weeks ago. Long story short, I have these problems, two.
Problem the first: My flagship gold is way too sweet (3.7P as opposed to the 2P norm). This beer normally takes 2 months to kill from the serving tank. It is our slowest moving beer, and I only brew it because the craft beer "newbies" love it, as well as some older gentlemen that frequent the bar. It is filtered, and I have about 2.8 Bbl left. I thought, rather then waiting for the beer to kick, I could just filter this right into the tank and blend the two. It may cut down the sweetness just enough. I regularly clean my lines every 2 weeks. What is the harm in me just pumping a newer beer in with an older one. A "golden gaueze" if you will. What are your thoughts on this?
Problem the second: I have a heffe that is WAY too dry (.9P). The tank temp ramped up right at the end of frementation, and it went crazy. That is the only thing I could think happened. My mash temp. was 153, and my bill was 70 / 30. I've done it before, and usually finish at 2.8P. It also has a very, very faint metallic finish. What do you suppose I should do with the 6Bbls I have of this stuff?
