porschemad911 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I brewed my entry up last night. I used half of (866g anyway, not a bad estimate in one pour lol) a 1.7kg kit in my 11l batch. I would have preferred to use an unhopped LME kit, but they're harder to get hold of vs walking to Big W at lunch. My LHBS was out of stock for next couple of weeks and I didn't want to go the online order route. Unfortunately that means I can't get any flavour influence from my bittering hop of choice, but oh well. More of a malt-driven style anyway. I did put 2 (yes first one, then the other) hop pellets into the boil to help with the hot break a little. I guess there's no point doing the entry forms until it is packaged, just in case my yeast doesn't behave or my little boy tips the fermenter over with a cry of 'Daddy makes beer!' If the comp is full at that point then I guess I'll have a nice beer to drink. Don't know what I'm going to do with the other 834g hopped LME in the fridge. I guess this means my next batch is going to be a partial mash too. Cheers, John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is looking promising so far... on the money for volume, gravity and flavour. My smack pack swelled up nicely, so yeast seems good to go.

King Ruddager Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Got the ingredients for mine just now. It's a bit of a "one-two-three-hopefully" but we'll see how it goes Stay tuned in one year for the brew day video 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Haha, I didn’t get my OG either due to ... some reason that would reveal something I can’t say. Ugh. This competition sucks for discussion 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschemad911 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Sounds like I'm sure to win then, having taken gravity samples at several different stages prior to pitching yeast. Forgot to take one since then though, I how is actually fermenting lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Mine seems to be coming along ok. I've avoided one certain thing for certain reasons though, or perhaps I haven't, but I can tell it's missing ... or can I? Stupid secretive rules. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 @Coopers DIY Beer Team, @Coopers. Hi guys. Given there are only 3000 slots, I was wondering if there could possibly be a weekly update/post (of sorts) stating available entry slots still available based on those already entered/received? The contest has created a lot of interest, & it would be a shame if you were a home brewer planning on entering & going to the trouble of producing a beer for the contest, if only to be told, at some point earlier than you expected, "Sorry, too late". Of course I'm speaking very selfishly here, but imagine there are others likely thinking the same thing. Cheers, Lusty. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a good idea. Especially if you are considering more than one entry. Perhaps brewing a couple of different styles. It would be a shame to get an entry done and then find out the comp is full and closed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 My entry is safely bottled, but somehow I'm not too worried if the comp is full by the time I get around to doing the entry form. It wasn't a beer I'd normally brew with a kit base, so that bit of experimentation was fun regardless. Although heaps of free beer and 3 free flights to Adelaide where my family is sounds pretty enticing! Cheers, John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopers DIY Beer Team Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hey @Beerlust and @Shamus O'Sean, It is absolutely prime brewing time at the moment for entry into the Master of the Brewniverse competition. It's first in best dressed as you would expect, however most brewers are currently still crafting their entries so there are plenty of spots still available. As a reminder for those who haven't yet started brewing, there is still time! Entries close on the 31st July 2019. Cheers, Coopers DIY Beer Team 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Got mine in the fermenter last night, colour looks great, OG spot-on and had a good krausen this morning which I was quite surprised about. Even the OG sample tasted good so that can’t be a bad sign! And now we wait.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Mine's been in the bottle for a week now ... but I have to remember that it's extract based (or is it?) and that I shouldn't taste any for at least another week. Then I'll decide whether to enter it or start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
