A partial-mash built on a BR NZ Company Bitter can (on sale!) paired with GF ale malt and Wai-iti hops. It's still green but already shaping up to be a favourite for 2021. I have to say BS, your beer pics are quite beautiful mate. Love the lighting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty happy with that. 40/50 is a decent score but plenty of room for improvement. my hop driven beers got dragged over the coals….not exactly sure why just yet as feed back hasnt been sent out. cheers boys n gals. Congratulations @MitchBastard that's awesome, you are an inspiration to us all. Good luck with the others & future brews. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading the comments, if they are good, will either help or piss you off. For me it was slightly both due to some contradicting advice. Less bitterness to more bitterness. The comments I held onto was "very drinkable" and "slight grassiness" which I will use cryohops for next time and see how it goes. Hopefully they provide some really good notes to help you out, even for the 3rd place Pilsner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Having my Shitty Aussie lager on a lovely sunny day. It's a craft lager, so not filtered and hazy (yeah whatever hipster). I don't cold crash, ferment cool or any of that bizzoo so it's hazy, I don't use whirlfloc either. It's actually really good, clean and crisp. Nice bite from the 25 IBU hit of PoR @CLASSIC and a healthy 5.6% 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Next up is a pale made with Wyeast 1007, Pale, Wheat and Munich. 30 grams of Citra Cryo at flameout. WOW, what a hop. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I bottled this Coopers Draught on 29th May '21 & thought I should try one, I am surprised it tastes as good as it does, it has a full malty flavour with a creamy head & the Goldings give it a nice bite, it is a little dark in colour ( I don't CC ) but I did add 750gm LDME to the 600gm LME to the recipe, it is good to drink so no complaints.
