BlackSands Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Well, what a pleasant surprise! This is my "emergency" brew... when my AG order went astray last month I threw down this quick kit beer as an interim stock replenisher. Real ale can, LME and 40g of Pacific Jade hops I happened to have on hand, and fermented with voss slurry. In the past I've always just used Pacific Jade as a bittering addition, being a fairly high alpha variety. But I have to say as a flavor hop it's actually surprisingly good! I'm definitely going to use it again as a flavour/aroma addition. This beer is quite hoppy for just a mere 40g of jade, which is quite low by pale ale standards but I might try a larger dose next time regardless!

Nice and malty. Has some bitterness so hopefully you didnt add any early hop additions in a boil. Goes well though with a late addition in a boil or dry hop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, thats the way. I learnt the hard way with that can. But do the right thing you'll have a beer that cant be distinguished as an extract home brew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickers Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 still needs a day on the gas but this is the verdant hazy kit kilo and partial that took forever and a day in the FV lots going on, trying chinook for the first time (one of @Classic Brewing Co's posts a few pages back inspired me to try chinook), lots of flavour tonight but still needs that little bit more fizz before it settles down i think. fun brew 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) My AG recipe of the 1911 Carlsberg Pilsner. I have been savoring this petite baby as it is just so good. Still a few glasses left in the keg after nearly 4 months. Its on my brew day list to do again. Might do a big double batch next time and pressure ferment it out in the 58 L Kegmenter just to see how the Copenhagen Lager yeast handles that.

Not a stupid question there stickers. I have a Keezer which holds 6 kegs and a keg fridge that holds 2 kegs. The two in the keg fridge are always on-line carbed up and ready to serve. In the Keezer I have only 2 gas connects and 2 Pluto guns and I swap them to kegs as required. Once they are all carbed up I just choose what beer I want to drink that evening and tap those. This Carlsberg Pilsner is one of the Keezer kegs which gets tapped from time to time. Edited November 16, 2021 by iBooz2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are American prices, I make 5 litres of Kraken at home for $20 so it's kinda meh but to get the real deal cheap is good when you get it. Covid hasn't slowed my traveling at all so I still get international prices. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, while I enjoy brewing my stove-top BIAB AG's I certainly have no problem using the Real Ale can as a simple K&K or partial. I'd forgotten how good it is as it's been quite a while since I last opened one up! All it needs is some tasty late hop additions are you're set. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds I must give the Real Ale another go soon. It always turned out well the few times I've made it but I constantly get distracted by other beers I haven't tried before and it gets left on the shelf. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I am sneak testing a Pale Ale 3 weeks old, slightly green but it is developing heaps of flavour, Chinook & POR were used which gives me the hop bite I like & I experimented with a lesser amount of LME & used up some Band Malt I had in stock. To me it thins the malty taste & it appears lighter in body, as you may have noticed I don't CC, but why would you with a Pale ?? I think this will mature nicely.

Regarding the Coopers Real Ale, you guys are giving me encouragement as I have never brewed one before, mine has been going since 12/11/21 & there is still action with the airlock so I am looking forward to tasting this also.

iBooz2 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 First pour of my AG recipe of @ozdevil's American Pale Ale, only 2 days in the keg. Am very glad I toned the ABV down to 3.6% for a session beer as it certainly is that and it will be very hard to leave this keg alone tonight. Would have thought with the big dry hop it would have been more "hoppy" but am very happy with the aroma and taste and where it sits. A couple of weeks or more in the keg will clear it up a bit more. Most of the haze in pic is condensate on my cold glass. Its going to be a great Christmas sipper if I can leave it alone for that long. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
