New camera? Looks good! great video Dennis

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Yep. Made some upgrades. 🤘🍻 Still working out the kinks but it was time.

[@jasonjwise]

Glad you made this video. I brew all grain Beer for about 15 or so years when hurricane Katrina hit us in South Louisiana I got out of it for about 15years or so .back into brewing Beer all grain, first batch came out good. Next 3 batches came out bad got discouraged, but I kept brewing and it’s getting better.!!Thanks for the videos!!

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Awesome. Glad to help out! 🍻

I brewed a cream ale (that i'd made before) and it was terrible. Not a dumper, but super close. I was struggling thru it over time, had an orange with it and, BAM, was decent! Went from a 2/5 beer to a 3/5 beer! Added about 1 oz OJ and it was fantastic. So, your theory of diluting it with another light beer makes sense. Adjustments after the fact can work.

[@Menacetechnology]

Too much lime is a mistake many brewers have made, including big brewery's. Limes just pack so much more of a punch than many other fruits. Learned my lime lesson making a Coconut lime hazy ipa. It was way too lime forward for me and it completely out shined the coconut. However, a lot of the ladies enjoyed it as they said it tasted like a marg. Clearly not what I was going for and I wont drink it! As you put it, best way to learn is through making mistakes and watching and learning from other's mistakes. On to the next brew!

[@CityscapeBrewing]

💯🤘🍻 yes sir!

[@jeffchristman5266]

I can only think of one thing worse than dumping a beer: Drinking 5 gallons of it while trying to convince yourself that it's really not that bad.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

😂🍻💯

[@EnclaveZA]

Quality is very nice in this one! You can definitely see and hear the improvements! I'm almost 100% the hops you used are the same as the one I've learnt to avoid already I got some in a kit and it tasted like straight lemon/lime dish soap. I didn't dump it but it was close! Will just avoid in the future as I can't stand the taste 😂😂😂

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Thanks! It was 100% the lime zest, not the motueka hops. I have added those in a bunch of beers with no off flavors.

[@raymond-wk2gp]

Props to you, not many people admit it when they make a bad beer.

[@RichardDePas]

Appreciate you showing this. I had to dump two batches due to bad yeast harvesting. Was glad when I finally figured out where I was going wrong.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

We've all been there man... That's part of the Brewing process, unfortunately sometimes you Brew crap beer. 🍻

[@joshuapinter]

It happens to the best of us. I've made some bad brews, but have yet to dump any. I force myself to drink the entire keg as a punishment and a reminder for whatever I messed up. I have one right now in my keg. Tastes like black liquorice, but I will choke it back to learn my lesson. Haha.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

🤣 haha. That's awesome. I kinda like black licorice, so not that bad? lol 🍻

[@joshuapinter]

@@CityscapeBrewing One man's garbage is another man's treasure. Haha. If I was closer, I'd drop it off at your house.

[@curtpick628]

Just the look on your face on the tasting told the complete story. I've been lucky so far. No dumps to date.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

It wasn't worth saving

[@curtpick628]

@@CityscapeBrewing I hear you. I've had commercial beers I've dumped 🤣

[@larrytaylor6192]

Now if you had a still you could recover the alcohol. 😂

[@bazmcmul]

Feel your pain, man. But as an old traditionalist, fruit in beer, except for sours or imperials,does not work for me.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

In most cases I use hops with those flavors, but tried to go a different route this time. In my next video, a Mexican lager, I used motueka hops to get that hint of lime instead.

[@marcuspowell2510]

😢

[@NWsmallbatchBrewing]

Good suggestion a lot of breweries mix beers on purpose not even just to fix : -)

[@Nefariousrouge]

Add salt

[@CityscapeBrewing]

It wouldn't have helped the soapy taste I don't think. Not worth messing with... On to the next brew! 🍻

[@bryanjenkins6112]

So you used 2 ounces of lime, how many limes was that. Thinking about doing a Mexican Lager with lime zest. Actually doing the Morebeer Torcido Mexican Style Lager they have.

[@CityscapeBrewing]

I think it was like 10 total. I just did a Mexican Lager, the video will be out in 2 weeks! Turned out amazing and instead of lime zest, I used Motueka Hops, which have a lime flavor, and only need an ounce or so in the dry hop to get that hint of lime without zest.

[@bryanjenkins6112]

I watched The Brushow from a couple weeks ago. I think he said he used 3 for his Modelo clone.

[@ogm19881]

I wonder how it would have been if you would have made it into a michelada

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Could have but I have no shortage of beer... On to better recipes!

[@viper29ca]

Might be vacationing in Charlotte (or near Charlotte, not quite sure yet). What breweries are a must to hit?

[@CityscapeBrewing]

There are a LOT but some good ones that I've been to and would recommend are NoDa, Heist, Wooden Robot, Triple C, Lower Left, Middle James, OMB (Old Mecklenburg Brewing), Pilot, and Slow Play Brewing (in Rock Hill South of Charlotte).
