The oldest brewery in the world makes some very fine beers. They certainly do, I have tried at least 6-7 different types of there beer, their range is enormous. I also have 3 different Steins, tall glasses that are included free in the promos at a couple of my local Hotels. The Weihenstephaner Fetsbier was nice but I prefer some of their others. I also find the sturdy 500ml bottles great for brewing. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) Second taste test of my Royal Lager (Crown Lager clone) recipe which was a partial mash done back in October. My first taste test really showed up that this beer was a kit tin brew and was different from my AG brews, a background something which I had forgotten about. It has become better after about 3 weeks in the keg but it’s just a tad malty and maybe a bit on the sweet side for a 5.0% ABV beer, even though I threw 6 kg of grains at the two Coopers kit tins so suspect Coopers use crystal malts in these tins. In hindsight I should have upped both the bittering hops and the late aroma hops (both Hallertau Mittelfrueh) to get it closer to where I reckon it should be. Don’t get me wrong it is a great beer to drink but just think I missed the perfect mark by a whisker. No mash salts where used, just filtered rainwater so probably could have tweaked that a bit to enhance the hop. Maybe could have used a late PoR in it to give that Crown Lager touch too.

Nothing wrong with a Coopers Pale Ale Phil, its one of my all time favorite commercial beers. Funny thing is I have never made one, even K & K so maybe I should to see how close I can get to the real deal one day. I do make a very good Coopers Sparkling Ale clone (even if I do say so myself). Cheers mate. Edited November 14, 2021 by iBooz2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (and probably many others) have the utmost respect for your brewing and resultant beers as they always look very good. Sometimes too good in fact. You have nothing you need to prove to me as I always admire your recipes and your pics. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I as many others have learnt a lot from this forum & I am stubborn in as much as I have stuck to extract brewing, with additions & experimenting but I feel at this point there is only one way to go & that is up. By that I mean the move to BIAB/AG but I also have to weigh up other factors as I have my eye on a property which is actually on the same street I am on, in fact, just up the road, so for the present my concentration is on the move as it will give me more room to expand my brewery.

At 8.5% knocks your socks off Uncle Beryl That looks a beauty @Pale Man After the initial fermentation did you keep it in the fridge for a while? And did you keg or bottle? Looks like you’ve found the Holy Grail of homebrewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I know I shouldn’t post this each time I have a bottle but I am well chuffed with it - Belgian Dubbel from a kit with a couple of tweaks. It’s been in the bottle since about March. I have two more 9 litre batches in FV,s but can’t wait to try my own BIAB version 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Micky Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 My K&K Coopers Eclipse Pale Ale. 7 weeks post bottling and tastes spot on. An extremely well balanced beer - I will definitely be brewing this one again. I will eventually get around to BIAB and give this one a try for sure. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
