Can't be fast enough for me, I am over wind, rain & being cold. You can always get cool with less clothes & of course a nice cold .

If I'm gunna drink, I'd rather be drinking something else. How good is keg hopping?! Fixed this guy right up. Having never tried it, I thought I'd give it a bash before I tipped the keg. I had some Waimea in the freezer and gave it a fairly liberal dose. Stoked! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Sadly my last bottle of Coopers Draught, I reckon it has reached it's peak, I bottled it on 29th May. The Goldings hops are still obvious & the head retention is awesome. Coopers Pale Ale is my favourite every day beer but this would be 2nd on the list. I definitely will make this again. Cheers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 As of midnight tonight we're off into a snap "hard and fast" lockdown here in NZ so what better way to spend the time? Lion draught kit, plus GF malts and Amarillo hops... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome BS lovely composed photo too, these lockdowns wouldn't be easy to deal with, we have been rather lucky here in SA compared to other states & parts of the world. Good Luck.

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) First taste of my beer made out of yeast from wattle flowers. Poured nice with a big head. Smell very saison like. Taste is pretty funky. I expected this when bottling and taking a sample but it's actually not much more funky than a Dupont saison. I prefer my saisons more peppery and spicy so it's not right up my alley but it's not half bad at all. There is a bit of a floral zing at the end which is interesting. Can't say this has been a fail. Have the slurry and some brett in the fridge which I think might marry pretty well. Will keep the other bottles and drink one every week to see if it develops further.

I watched your posts on this with interest @Greeny1525229549 & it certainly looks like it has worked for you. It just shows what can be done with a little of intuition. Good on on you.

If too thick on pour, eat w spoon Only downside... on attempting to harvest Verdant slurry the resultant mud that went into the jar was very green .. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I tried a MJ Blonde Dry last night, bottled 15 days ago & it is 'supercarbed' I am surprised how good it tastes already. I am searching for a Coopers recipe for this. Anyone know of any ? Cheers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe check out the Coopers Recipe Spreadsheet, filter on Canadian Blonde can and try something similar to the MJ Blonde Dry recipe. Or just do one of the Canadian Blonde recipes that use a lager yeast: True Aussie Bitter or Deuce Lager. The Deuce sounds nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck. Yes, 6 months of gloat-worthy COVID-free existence suddenly came to an abrupt end! Looks like delta snuck in from Sydney... and the situation is looking rather grim as it seems it may have spread far and wide in the days before it was detected! Mostly socially active young folk involved. I'm predicting 4 weeks lockdown at least... will hear the official word on that later today! Meanwhile, plenty of homebrew (and wine) stocks on hand!

That is not good, I heard a fair bit of detail about it on early morning ABC digital radio, there is a segment where a NZ correspondent rings in regularly & updates on all of the latest news, apparently it is up to 21 cases now. Keep safe & good to know you are well stocked, Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
