Malter White Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I've been drinking a lot of BrewA IPA and Family Secret Amber Ale lately and I think my palate was getting a little tired of them because this here Aus pale ale, BE1 and Summer hops has excited the taste buds. A nice fruity flavour. Pretty good clarity too considering I don't cold crash or use finings. I think I'm a little bit proud of myself with this one.

And a fine looking beer yours is mate great job! I don't think any of us would be here brewing AG if we had not been able to start the journey and find out how good a DIY beer via Coopers KnK can be... and you see quite often when AG Rabbit Hole Brewers are pressed for time and or resources that knocking out a quicker KnK can be very useful to stock up on Beer Edited February 5, 2022 by Itinerant Peasant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a shame I'm too bloody lazy to give a go. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this one I steeped the hops in preboiled, tepid water (around 30C) for about 2 hours and added it when mixing the brew together. The cooler temp steep seems to add that flavour a dry hop would add but without the fuss of a hop bag. I don't know if it's better or worse than dry hopping but I like doing a hop tea and not having to bother the wort once it's closed up for fermentation. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Finished cleaning up the big 58 L Kegmenter and a Coopers FV plus various bits and pieces around the brewery so it's time for a beer. This one is another Leigh's Lager batch #68 AG #27 and it's been in the keg for 4 weeks this weekend and I reckon it's at it's peak. Nice and clear, nicely carbonated and just the right amount of PoR aroma and flavour. I can see why this beer is so popular with all the free-loaders that call in here for a social visit ha ha. Going to drop a double batch (44 L) of Summer Pilsner into the big bad boy tomorrow. Edited February 5, 2022 by iBooz2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks really good Al, I know what you mean, I managed to save just 3 of these Coops Bootmaker P/Ales bottled in November, it is really at it's peak, Centennial still shining through, that's if you can see it with all of the background clutter Edited February 5, 2022 by Classic Brewing Co 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is very complex, sweet and bitter, yeasty and almondy and quiet heavy. In the beginning I didn’t like it much, but now after 3 1/2 month it’s very enjoyable. This one is made with the Munton’s Belgian Style Ale kit. I also don’t know any other Belgian Ale. Would I do it again? Not on top of the priority list, but yes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 20g and made the tea in a coffee plunger. So probably around 300ml-500ml. Edited February 5, 2022 by MUZZY 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
