Stickers Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 found a bottle of the first brew i did this year (using saison yeast) still a really nice taste, a lot of lolly banana i'd describe it as. safbrew BE134 yeast. clear, carbed with OG @Muzzy method. i need to do something like this again. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Belgian Dubbel from a kit, tweaked a bit. About 9 months old now. Don’t need to buy any Chimay Blue, or Westmalle Dubble before Christmas, unless I go for it like a sailor on shore leave 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 A quiet Tuesday afternoon slurp of the MV Blonde Dry getting closer to the mark, easy drinking this one, I have 4 x Cartons bottled as I did a double batch. A very nice fridge filler still only 3 & 1/2 weeks old but getting better by the day. Cheers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't last much longer than that tho Edited December 14, 2021 by PintsAtMeLocal 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't last much longer than that tho Agreed, a few weeks make a lot of difference, the head retention, mouthfeel & overall quality of the beer improve immensely, even better if you have multiple FV's & brews backed up as you can continue to try different batches every other week or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) The long awaited first ever Coopers Bootmaker Pale Ale, I must say this is a fine drop, a beautiful tasting Pale. It has a very angry head which was hard to compose a worthy photo but I am a Happy Camper !! Cheers. The house move is now underway I am going closer to the sea, one street away down at my beloved Glenelg Beach. Lot's of brewing & fresh sea air, what more could you want.
