Pale Man Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 13 hours ago, Classic Brewing Co said: I have some of this COOPERS BREW A IPA left in a keg & the Coopers Bootmaker Pale Ale keg blew last night so I put a few bottles left over from the initial brew in the fridge just to try the difference, I reckon the kegged version is smoother & much easier to drink, it seems to me when you go back to drinking out of bottles there is a slight 'homebrew taste'. Nevertheless, it is still very enjoyable. Cheers. I've noticed that too Phil. The same beer kegged seems to be smoother and creamier. Bottled version is always harsher. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had many home brews given to me over the years, some absolutely horrid to undrinkable, others just taste like homemade beer & some that are pretty good, but you can always tell with the froth/foam & the bubbles in the glass. Brewed, carbonated & poured into 'beer clean' glassware helps you get pretty close to keg beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 COOPERS BOOTMAKERS PALE ALE Yesterday I posted a photo of a Brew A IPA that was bottled comparing with the kegged version. This is the first tasting of this one out of the bottle. It still has a different taste compared to the one in the keg, but I am not complaining, it is still OK. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 How many of you have had a Stout in a brandy balloon glass - it's a blast in theory the top is open such as a pint glass, but it holds the head for the duration. Awesome. I like breaking protocol. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Well, just realised my mistake, sorry for misleading anyone! The Beautiful Amber Ale I've been drinking (sparingly) for the last month.. One left. I referred to it as "Trendy Trousers Amber Ale" But it was in fact "Parity Amber Ale" Tonight I sampled the Trendy Trousers Amber and realised my mistake. Both are very good, first impression is that the Trendy is a slight bit better than the Parity. But that could be my taste's or the way I brewed them. Both are very Good. Will get a Pic next time I take the top off the new one. Sorry.. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Battleship Bitter (English Bitter) Made this one for a Mates birthday, Covid knocked that party out. Here we are a few months later and this brew has had a bit of time to Age. In the bottle now for 95 days, taste's good but I think the Amber I tried last night is Better! No matter taking most of this brew over to his place Saturday for him and others to have (if they want), I'll knock a few back as Well. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 COOPERS BREW A IPA Sadly, the bottles l had of the Coopers Brew A IPA are nearing an end, here's one out of the bottle & one out of the keg. So, I will have to start all over again as I love this brew. Shut up they are both good. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Found another bottle of Spirit Of Anzac Ale, 7 month old, lost a bit of its hop aromas and flavours but still really nice. Had a few of this batch gushing out of the bottle after opening but not this one. Must have been dirty bottles. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Cold Front IPA, this bottle was really nice. Much nicer balance than before and the sourness mellowed out. Must have been the extra layering. Had this one after a commercial Kölsch and enjoyed it. Must not have been too bad 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember around 2019/2020 I was near travelling home to Adelaide from West Wyalong heading to Deniliquin & the fires in the Batlow region were raging & the wind blew smoke so thick it was like a fog & the smell was overpowering. I spent a lot of time in the Riverina & I was aware of the danger & terrible circumstances people were suffering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Thar she blows, this was the Coopers Brew A IPA - a beautiful brew. Now I do an AG brew & keg another that is still in the brew fridge, No rest for the wicked. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 A sneak peek of the “almost Pilsner”. 3 days in the keg and just carbed up enough. It needs a few more weeks to mature and clear up but it tastes very pilsnerish so far. Almost Pilsner because I was about a kilo short of Pilsner malt and had to substitute it with pale malt and while I had the necessary Saaz hops, they were lower % AA, so I topped up with a little extra Tettnanger. It will be a pretty nice beer when ready by the look of it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
