Pale Man Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Breakfast beers. Coopers kit. The Voyage American Pale Ale. This has gone south. The colour is not right and has a harsh bitterness I can't deal with. This will be the last kit beer I ever brew I think. My all grains have spoilt me. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Ahhh that's better. Pale Ale with Gladfield Ale Malt and just one hop addition of Super Pride at 60 minutes. Very refreshing and tasty. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had another glass, maybe i'm being a bit harsh. Its not bad, it definitely has hop bite and hard to pick a malt of any kind. I've had worse craft beers from the shop. It needs to round off i think. But my beers don't get half a chance. If they're no good young then i judge harshly. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third brew on here having this as an amber rather than a pale. Send me one, I'll happily brew it to double check!! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my limited experience with GCL tin it has a great head. Also as you said it doesn't always hold as long but I usually do slightly different things each brew so makes it hard to pinpoint why. @jamiek86 No I don't think its the AG sneaking in as I have always been super critical of my own beers and processes. You and others are probably the same, wondering how to make it better each batch and when you have a win with a process / beer outcome you lock it in for the next time and time after that. I gave up brewing many years ago and dumped all my hard won trial and error hand written notes into the recycle bin as I thought I was never going to do home brew again. How wrong and silly was I? Now have to go on memory and polish up all that lost knowledge again. I never did AG back in the day, mainly only partial mashes and kits and bits. First time I have used the GCL and I thought 2 x tins and a equal amount of AG malts and added hops would have cut though but it did not.

Tone boy Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Coopers Bootmaker pale ale. Not as hoppy as I was hoping for. Still a bit green though only 10 days in the bottle. Should improve with age. Couldn’t resist an early taster… 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Worked bloody hard for this one! 65 minutes in the afternoon sun running up endless hills and stairs. My 61 year old legs feel like jelly! So, downing a crisp 'n' cold NZ golden ale dosed up with Amerillo and Cascade hops Probably should be rehydrating with lot's of water... but.... nah! 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozdevil Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 okily dokely my coastbusters west coast ipa i was dissapointed about when brewed it , i also brewed under pressure at 10 psi didnt feel the need to go any more my 1st taste before carbing up the beer even though it had some carb from brewing under pressure . i got alot of hopburn through this but alot of aroma around the nose to my liking gave of that fruity sensation that amarillo parts with but i thought heck this is a sink pour , so decided i better have another butcher and i said nah the over bitterness is just from hopburn and that will mellow out in a week or 2. still dissapointed as i feel its lacking the ommph that a normal wc ipa would be as this is only 4 % and would have liked it to be around 5.4%abv thats my fault not the recipes. well after cleaning 4 taps and the boel itap they are ready again to get some beers into them well i had to have another sample today even though its only being carbed up and its day 2 of carbing up, i dont do forced carb like the other boys do, i am patient and want to let it carb up at serving pressure .. its what i was expecting no head or retention yet is the carbonation is still happening and this beer will be carbed by late saturday or sunday for the start of the ashes and the sydney hobart yachat race still its not where i want it but its easy to drink and not bad for flavour and aromas and bittness its definately not going to be a sink pour will take photo when the beer is fully carbed and presentable to my liking in the next week or so 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 @iBooz2 not sure how didn't see your reply Monday before now. Well I can understand that for sure being hard on ourselves over what we make. I've had similar issues with head retention in some beers and in others they were awesome. I have also this time had similar issues with not making accurate tasting notes after each brew because the small book fills up just from brew day and all the gravity etc. I will need to organize it better as the brews I'm pumping through my memory of each one is limited. I am so busy trying new hops and things each brew I haven't re visited and of the ones I did like yet but maybe in the new year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 First taste of my Coopers Real Ale, so far I am impressed, bottled on 28/11/21, I think it will mature well, if it lasts that long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 OzDevils US Pale Ale, keep coming back for this one as it just under 4 % ABV and good to start off the evenings session with something low and tasty like this drop. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
