Wow, demand certainly exceeded supply big time. Same with the cans as my local Dans had none left before I got there. Wonder how many packs were produced? Hopefully they will do a 2nd batch?

Appears to be the case @Popo Was hoping Coopers may do a second batch as they have done so in the past when customer demand has been overwhelmingly strong. Normally commercial practicalities (economies of scale, profit, maximising shareholders value etc) kick in for most companies. Think @Woodsy1525230278 has the last remaining stock left in his beer wall. Assuming he has not polished it off yet? Mate, where in Karratha did you say you lived??

ozlizard Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Got my ROTM today and can't wait to get it in the fermenter tomorrow. One question. In the instructions it says to heat up 3lts of water in a pot to 65-70 deg and let the grains steep for 30 mins. Does that temp need to be maintained or do you turn off the heat and just let it sit?

Hey @ozlizard Think you got a dud one then? Suggest you post it to me and I will reimburse you for the costs? My view is maintain temp between 65-70C and make sure the grain is cracked if that is not already the case. Maybe send me a bottle after you have got it into 2nd ferm?

Dedicated either way. My kit arrived during the week. I was thinking of subbing out the 1kg of LDM for a can of 1.5kg Light Liquid Malt Extract. ABV is already very respectable, so I might rethink that. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruiserbbq Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Steeping my Brewniverse kit grains right now. I also got a carton of cans from Dan's ... intend to save a couple and compare with my homebrew effort. Goody Goody Goody ... 21 litres of goodness coming up.

ozlizard Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Tested the FG yesterday and today at 1015 (my hydrometer is off). If it's the same tomorrow then it's bottling time! (around day 9-10). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 It's not bad, similar to Sparkling Ale. Where's the honey? I bet Chris's original was ten times better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruiserbbq Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Added the dry hops this morning ... can see through the porthole that fermentation is just about done. Thought there would have been a lot more hops to add? ... but ... are well just follow the instructions! Cheers Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozlizard Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Day five in the bottle. Chucked one in the fridge last night and just cracked it. Bloody ripper @Woodsy1525230278. Great colour, very slight haze, good carbonation even after 5 days. Definitely get the fruit and I reckon I can just pick up the honey at the end. Nice easy drinking balanced beer. Next time I might add a bit more hops (because I can!) and maybe some oats. A good American IPA. PS as I got down to the bottom of the glass could really pick up the honey on the nose and the palate. Didn't have Jarrah so I think what we had was Karri. Edited June 27, 2020 by ozlizard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozlizard Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Too far way from the nearest Dans so missed out. Would have been an interesting comparison though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 What might be interesting is to hear from @Woodsy1525230278 if he has done a side-by-side-by-side taste test of his own original brew, the version Coopers made and one he made from the ROTM kit. I will be keeping a couple of cans for a taste test once I do the ROTM version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
