Classic Brewing Co Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 6 minutes ago, Aussiekraut said: 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. Looking nice & 'Pilsnerish' to me AK, nice colour & promising head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 This is delicious. Coopers Innkeeper's Daughter Sparkling Ale tin, a tin of light malt extract and the special ingredient - Coopers commercial ale yeast. No clarity to it because I primed the keg with some sugar to keg condition it. It's only 3 weeks old but pretty darn good. For any novices out there (like me), you don't need much expertise to make good beer. This tin is a ripper and I chose not to add more hops because I figure I don't need to pimp a good quality extract. However I would recommend watching the tutorial video on harvesting Coopers yeast and giving it a go. It's definitely worth trying. This is PQP - premium quality pi55. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter, doesn't have to be clear, it would taste great. I have made it before & enjoy it. I am not that fussed about re-harvesting yeast as I feel the supplied yeasts with brews like that are sufficient. As you say it is PQP. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pints Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Morgan's IPA toucan. Was way too bitter at first, got it on the cheap so just an experiment. Now after many weeks, not sure how many, its perfectly drinkable. Still very bitter but lovely 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a few bucks more than the Original and International tins, Mick, but worth it in my opinion. I'd probably suggest you might want to add a little extra dextrose or reduce the volume if you like your beer with a little more oomph. I made this to 24 litres to suit my 8l kegs so it only came in at around 3.8% ABV. Still a great tasting beer though.

I agree the Bootmakers/Brew A & The Inkepers are only $27.00 at Big W still cheap when you consider that you get 2+ cartons of Beer out of it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my son was right and it was an unknown flavour from the Simcoe. I was just really worried cause over summer I had a few explosions and bottle vulcanos probably due to hygiene. I started to be extremely careful now and started to doubt my brewing skills. The last two longnecks where really good. Only one left 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 My brother just sent me a photo of his Coopers Pale Ale with his cheap phone, I have enhanced it the best I can. When he was here a couple of weeks ago, I gave him a few Bar Mats for his barrels. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well he has always been a tightar.... & it doesn't take very good pictures but that's OK, he used to only use half the box of BE2, I told him to use the lot & know he calls it full strength I also told him I add at least 500gm of extra malt, yeast nutrient as well as 50+gms of hops but he won't spend the extra, as long as he is happy what the hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does yeast nutrient really make a big difference? never used any, so I am curious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
