It was an attempt at the Coopers XPA but I wasn’t able to get the simcoe or lemon drop hops. I used El Dorado and Azacca hops in the boil and also dry hopped. And I think Ted agrees as well Ha ha !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Hairy is one of the Master All Grain Brewers on this site... ha ha.... but he may have used the APC as he did have a hand injury there at some stage @Hairy ??

It was a all grain brew. Really simple grain bill; 4.75kg American Ale Malt and 250g Munich. Very quaffable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Found this gem today. Must have been conditioning for at least 12 months as I started kegging this time last year. It is a Coopers IPA. Not sure what I did to it as I have sent all my kit notes off to the cloud. First and most obvious thing I noticed was the carbonation. I don't get that sort of carbonation from a keg. Taste wise it is great. As one would expect any additional hops I would have added have faded but it really does taste good. Only issue is it just does not have that clean complex taste that all grain has. I haven't made an IPA for a while so maybe my next brew will be an old school Indian Pale Ale flavoured with some of those wonderful British hops like Fuggles, EKG and Challenger. 20200525_171030.mp4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Pale ale with my favourite hop combo of galaxy and mosaic. Not 100% fully carbed but was itching to try. Kind of disappointed. While its a nice beer already the flavour combo isn't going to be as good as last time. Galaxy seems to have dominated over the mosaic. Not stone and wood type taste but its getting there. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDT2 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Started with my Munich Dunkel tonight been in the bottle for just over a week with no lagering couldn’t wait tastes pretty good with a light malty toasty type taste and well balanced a good beer. Very happy with it. Nice and clear already which I am happy with as I forgot the whirlfloc. It’s a nice red colour too photo doesn’t do it justice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Innkeepers Daughter tin with liquid light malt and dex. Padded out by a few extra litres so it's not so heavy in alcohol but it amazingly tastes quite similar to Coopers Sparkling Ale. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Thanks Norris, I'm really enjoying this one. I love Coopers Sparkling but at almost 6% it's a dangerous drink for me. From memory I got this one down to about 4.8 but it's still full flavoured. Liquid malt extract has been a fillip for my beer making. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often get this sort of thing with heavily late and dry hopped beers. Being a nitro pour would help too. I reckon those two things are probably more the reason for it than it being AG, however it also contributes especially if you do a mash rest at 72 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 They're work, you can try to pretend they aren't but they are. AG is less work than cleaning bottles, might take longer but it's less work 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
