It is fairly bitter though, give it a few more days and I’ll have another crack at it, it’s not bad though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone boy Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) 35 minutes ago, disgruntled said: Any late additions? That’s my question. If both of you used the same hop, one gets lemon and the other not really, does it come down to timing? As in flameout, or 5 minute addition? Or is it perception? Personally my tastebuds ate a bit knackered - maybe too many ciggies as a young fella - and I find some flavours and aromas hard to pick/describe… it might come down to the freshness of the hops as well… thanks for the feedback though guys Edited November 27, 2021 by Tone boy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having drunk catpiss I don't. Lemon drop and Sorachi Ace are lemony for me 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 My 3.7% beer with simcoe, cashmere, mosaic and citra nice little fruity dash with just enough bitterness to balance it out. It’s even clear after a month in the keg. This was also following a Tripel (hence the glass) so it’s a very refreshing tasty beer with enough flavour to satisfy especially today very hot in the west! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 An Old Speckled Hen clone, extract version. About 6 months old now. Mighty fine drop apart from the hop fade. Not overly malty, good amount of body, decent head, well balanced. Getting some caramel and toffee overtones. Reminds me of running naked through a corn field on a summer evening… ok, I’ll stick to making it and leave the tasting notes to someone else 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Drank the last of my bottled kit beer today. This is a side by side of a 3 year old Morgans "Golden Czech Pilsner" and an AG German Pilsner that was brewed in July. The bottle has been sitting lagering in my beer fridge for over 12 months and the AG is the second of two kegs that I did at the end of July and has been in the keezer since then. The AG has a stronger yeast smell and has more hop characteristics while the kit Pilsner is dryer and has heavier carbonation. The colours are identical. The AG is definitely sweeter. Both brilliant beers. One took 30 minutes and about $25 to make 48 stubbies. The other 4.5 hours and $30 to make 2 19 litre keg or about 100 stubbies. Left is the kit and right is the AG. Bugger just realised the auto focus was on the disk in the back. Can't take another one as I drank it.

Frosty Chop Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Not drinking home brew as I am just getting back into it and fermenter #1 is ready for bottling tomorrow. Also picked up a brew fridge off gumtree today, it was only a few streets away so I'm back in the game with the warmer weather here. But I am having a Coopers sparkling as I need to replenish my empty bottle stock. In fact I think I've depleted all the stock of that in my closest supplier stores So I may grab a box of pale tomorrow and give that a crack. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 First bottle of Vintage 21, bottled 14/11. I put less sugar in for priming as it’s a keeper. Excellent recipe. Really happy with this first one, especially as the yeast was a second-generation Coopers Commercial 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
