FV in the background is the Bright Ideas Hazy XPA that I just kegged and bottled. Colour difference is obvious. The HB version is not black though. More of a dark ruby. Coops Commercial version: Aroma of wood and pine (hang on, aren't these are the same) Smooth flavour High lingering bitterness Strong malty flavour HB version: Less wood, more fruit aroma Smoother to drink Not as bitter, but equally strong malt flavour Old CUB long neck.

Most disappointing has been the Victoria. Downsized from 6 to 3 and looking to try Centennial and Columbus next year. Maybe I should expand to finger limes and sell them lol.. $40 a kg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centennial is one of my favorite hops, top 5 for sure. Columbus gets high marks in my books also for its clean bittering and citrus/grapefruit flavour from late additions and dry hop.

Shows a fair bit of use - line ground off around the shoulder and at the base. It is around 530g empty. I have about a dozen of them. I got them secondhand. I also have one that is over 600g. The Coopers tallies are only about 500g. Soft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I wonder close I can get to this Dunkel with Extract/Partial/Hop addition - there are a few clone recipes about but might be pushing the envelope ! I would be interested to see your opinions, do any of you guru's know if a Schofferhofer Hefweizen would be close ? There are a few wet kits available but I might be making extra work & stepping out of my comfort zone. Cheers Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 bootmaker pale ale from months ago galaxy hop tea not as strongas used to be. This one not as fizzy as others have been but cleared up nice and taste not too bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It is nice & clear, since I have been using finings some of mine resemble your colour but you seem to pay for it in head retention, I remember some earlier brews although hazy for some they had nice lacing all down the glass & froth until the last drop. I guess there is a lot to be said about cellaring your grog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to rephrase that and write: The NEW Coopers tallies are only about 500g ; ) The ol' Pickaxe Beauts are up in the 560s... and were the heaviest of the Australian 750ml bottles until Coopers enlisted in an Australian Packaging Campaign to reduce packaging and cut their bottles weight down as their contribution to the campaign... or so I was advised by a Coopers Help person via phone a few years ago... Interestingly - I think that the cardboard cartons must've also undergone a reduction in packaging effort too - as the more recent Carton from Carton of Coopers Largies - are absolutely dreadful and useless - the old cartons were good to store beers in - the new ones are thin, floppy, unstable and dire. But do use less cardboard resources I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a Bavarian - but @CLASSICPhil - it might still make an ok beer - but if you want Dunkel - it would have to be a Dunkel Kit - are you talking the Fresh Wort Kits that come in those Cubes mate? The thing is hey - it is all about personal taste preferences - and there are those that like Schöfferhofer - I don't prefer it.... but who knows... maybe it could make a nice beer for you... I mean there are those in the World that love Sours and Saisons hey !?! Edited March 9, 2021 by Graubart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
