Hairy Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I found three beers in a box that I thought was full of empties. This is my Evil Twin clone from around two years ago. It has held up fairly well, a little oxidised but it kind of suits the style. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyBrew2 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Galaxy and El Dorado IPA. In the keg since Wednesday. A great drop. Nice and simple grain bill. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Soraci Ace Saison brewed around two years ago. The hops have disappeared but this is still a tasty beer. Not oxidised and really drinkable. The 8% ABV probably helped with the long term storage. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristinaS1 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Having the first taste of my pressure fermented Perle Lager (60gm Perle at FO x 20 min stand). It is interesting. Not noticing any of the soft fruit (apricot, plum, canteloupe) flavours the fellas on Basic Brewing radio mentioned but is does taste different than my other lagers, which I can't describe. I am not over the moon about it, but it is okay. In spite of being fermented with Coopers ale/lager blend, this tastes like a lager, with a slight sulphur-y note. I suspect the higher PSI used this time (15PSI vs my previous 8PSI) might be responsible. Still a little cloudy. Just added the gelatine yesterday. Cheers, Christina. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Well my anglo saxon IPA just gets better. This is a 40 point beer. Edited August 8, 2020 by Titan 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 A brew day wouldn't be a brew day without a nice home brew. Sitting outside rugged up, enjoying a nice porter with Cradle of Filth coming out of the speakers and a vigorous boil going on behind me. Happy Sunday! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Last of the old bonus beers I found. A pale ale according to the the marking on the lid and probably 1.5 to 2 years old. A little bland now as the hops have died off but not as bad as I expected. Not oxidised and structurally sound. I’m happy that my brewing/sanitation practices appear to be solid. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 0430 that's harsh. Hang on, my alarm goes off at 5am. Still, 4 anything sounds so much earlier. Nice looking beer by the way 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Lao Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Enjoying my second attempt at partial mash / Coopers can ESB. Maris Otter and Caramunich II, has some EKG and Fuggles in late (not strictly to style but whatever) Nice Turkish Delight flavours and aromas, with a bit of chocolate orange (dry hopped a smidge of Cascade as well). Nice winter warmer at 6.2% Cheers James 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Proud day for me....first AG on the pour from the keg. Being my first AG, I didn't overdo the hops as I wanted to taste the freshly malted grain flavour. Lovely compact head, nice light grainy flavour & hopping notes, good balanced bitterness, nice bead, nice vibrant colour, lacing that licks the glass right to the bottom. Maybe I should have done this AG thing earlier. I still have quite a number of areas I can definitely improve on, but overall I'm pretty stoked with this first brew. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
