Silmaril Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 At 9 weeks in the bottle, my Brew #6 Coopers Dark Ale can brew is going down very well! I added 500gms of dry dark malt to the can's recommended ingredients. Also the first brew where I bottled some into the Coopers glass bottles. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see you are back in the Glass Bottles - good stuff - Wooohooo! And the brew looks good and sounds good Sil! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzza Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 This "Bizarre Brown Ale" is a crack at all malt and no kit base... heading towards an Altbier... 16 days in the bottle it needs a bit more time... but as a cleansing refresher in the heat it is ok: 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that you would worry about it with kegging being such an efficient process... but can you knock some out some left-over brew into bottles to make room and keep some examples for the future? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchBastard Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Knocked the froth off a pale(ish) ale I bottled on boxing day, this arvo. Unhopped extract can with some crystal, hopped with cascade and Amarillo. First cold crash, Not a spec of sediment in sight.

Silmaril Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 When I started home brewing this time around, it was to get some tasty craft beers (compared to my uni era brewing where I just wanted cheap beer!) However, the thought remained about brewing a strong ale, but I wanted to do it properly, not just go Dexter with the Dextrose and end up with something little fat lamb style. The Coopers Brew 'A' recipe took my fancy (Brew A) so I decided to give it a go. This was brew #9 for me. This one had a hop steep of EKG, and a dry hop of EKG. ABV came out at 7.2%. I didn't do the CCA yeast and couldn't find an S-33 yeast, so I used Mangrove Jack's M42 New World Strong Ale Yeast, and one of the APA can's yeast sachet. All up, two Aus Pale Ale cans, 1 liquid malt extract can, 50gms of EKG hops, and it's turned into a very nice drop. I tried it at 2 weeks, and it was all over the place. At 4 weeks, it's very very drinkable. The recipe page isn't kidding when it says these strong brews are not intended to be consumed as a session beer! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Got my moteuka pale ale on tap at the moment, will grab a picture later. It was on for new year's but didn't end up being emptied in the end so I'll probably get another couple of weeks out of it. Still got some bought stuff to get through as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's a little bit early but i couldn't resist trying it. Should be great in another 6 months. So good now though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Was to focused on doing a test run on the new kit that I forgot I had one of the beers I made for SWMBO in the freezer. Nothing like a beer slushie on a hot day. The beer thou .. kinda reminds me of a frothy or a furphy,as in I know there's hops there but they just arnt coming thru. Quite a enjoyable session beer thou. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested at 3 different temps and all spot on. No dents or issues which I'm happy with since iv read of people's issues when shipped. All ready for brew day 2morrow! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernerdy Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The year has started off with my coopers session ale home brew.. the stouts in bottles fermenting. Was a little disappointed in the session ale but I think its due to me learning I enjoy my IPA's more than anything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty Corner Brewing Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Tonight I cracked the first of my version of Pacific Saison. Lots of in your face fruit, great carbonation, almost as dry as a champagne, and a good amount of funkyness so it’s almost winey.. And it’s only a couple of weeks in the bottle, so I’m keen to see how it ages. Will be making this again for sure. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
