kmar92 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I tried the last ROTM - Citrus Crush Kolsch. It is not a bad tasting beer at all but it will not hold a head. Possibly due to the orange zest addition, I don't know. I tried force carbonating it, then I tried slow carbonating it and it will still not play the game! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Now, if I described this as a Pale Lager, you folks would probably think it was a tasty, legendary beer. In fact, it is the Corona clone I did for my brother a few weeks ago. Therefore, you can throw as much distain on it as you wish. However, it has turned out a nice brew. The aroma has spice notes along with floral aromas. Mild bitterness. Bit of a lawnmower beer. Easy to drink. It has a lingering malty aftertaste. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 AG Sierra Nirvana ( Nevada ) Clone Very nice, ABV 4.5%. Fermented with US-05 Yeast@19 degrees for 2 weeks.

ben 10 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Berry soure, was supposed to be cherries but there weren't any so I bought 1 kg of the dark berry mix. BEAUTIFUL beer, just what I was after. Tart clean crisp and berry. around 6.5% which is the prefect lawnmower beer. REALLY bloody easy drinking. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 first ever Brew A IPA tin I have used and also first time centennial hops. This was cold crashed 5 or 6 days after hit 1 degree. The fermentables were 1.5 kg tin LLME and 300 grams LDM. Same opinion as @PintsAtMeLocal for coopers most bitter tin I find it a little sweet. Not to the point where I don't like it but must have crystal malt in tin. Next time I'll do a 20 min hop boil plus late hop for flavour try to balance it for my taste. This was only a hop tea in plain water on day 4 or 5. 40 grams centennial 10 steep 90 degree water to.add flavour but test bitter feel of tin. You were right pints it does need that extra kick of bitterness. I chilled this one too much poured crap head although it is lasting. Only 17 days in bottle hope others make more fizz than this once opened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe small hop boil could be what's needed for our tastes yeah. My current one is about 25 days old now and just tastes great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my 2nd IPA tin and 3rd was bottled yesterday haven't done a boil yet just different yeast and hop varieties dry hop. I want to try mosaic for the next batch, maybe I should put a small boil on? Edited December 28, 2021 by PintsAtMeLocal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 @jamiek86 and @PintsAtMeLocal, I've done the Brew A IPA a couple of times and the Bootmaker Pale Ale more than a few times. Both are really sweet to my tastes too. They would almost definitely have Crystal Malt in them. That is most likely where they get the amber colour from. The last time I used the Brew A IPA was in Coopers' The Voyage: American Pale Ale. However, I did a 20 minute boil of 27g of Topaz hops for an extra 6 IBU's. That brew had the toffee aroma of the Brew A, but the extra bitterness from the boil balanced it out very nicely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek86 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 @Shamus O'Sean thanks for that feedback I will definitely do a boil of some sort of hops next time. It will also be a partial mash the next time so that little bit of extra freshness. @PintsAtMeLocal I must have got the Brew A confused with something else you brewed with a 30 min boil for extra bitterness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the pale ale can or the draft can. Always do a boil with those 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 A few of the Saison’s left. The funkiness from the yeast has gone but it’s still a decent enough brew. Probably not worth keeping too long but still good 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
