Beautiful mate! Did you use extra yeast for the bottle conditioning? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 My own Black Sheep Ale (left) v the real McCoy. Colour’s a bit off, but I’m happy with the rest. Mine’s kegged which really improves this style - English-style bitters aren’t at their best from a bottle. For that reason I prefer my own version (at the risk of humblebragging, or maybe just old fashioned bragging…), but certainly cheaper anyway! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Phil, look forward to reports and tasting notes on this one and others down the track - cheers. Cheers AL things seem to working as they should, day 3 & the old slow US-05 has fired up & the airlock working overtime, so it must be beer that I have made. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the primary yeast. I cold crash these but don't fine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff mate So that ice cream top is more from the yeast than the carbonation in the bottle ? Interesting... I have a keg of the clone I accidentally froze that will be ready in a cuppla days. I might leave it until after Easter. I will get another brew on to bottle. I opened a pack of the F2 yeast to get 2g out for the keg-conditioning. It's been kept in the fridge. I would like to use more from the pack (18g left), even though you're supposed to use it within a week. Reckon I'll chance it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 After organising my Beer dungeon I found two more bottles of this quiet pleasant brew. “Woodforde’s Tinsel Toe Roasted Malt Fusion” A Ruby Ale with an ABV 4.5% and after 6.5 month in the bottle it’s still going down nicely.

Classic Brewing Co Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Just trying a Coopers Dark Ale just on 2 weeks old, it needs a bit more time but shows promise, it's just good to have something different in the fridge. I haven't got any fenceposts set in a rural paradise like our good friend @Itinerant Peasant but you have to make do in the big smoke. After a few mouthfuls it starts to grow on you.

Classic Brewing Co Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Now a Coopers English Bitter. This is surprisingly good for just over 2 weeks, really nicely carbonated, nice fresh hop bite & the bitterness is pleasant, I am happy with this. It is going to be interesting to see how my AG beers compare with the k & k's I have been doing for years.

If you are posting from an iPhone, it makes perfect sense. By default iPhones use the high efficiency settings, meaning the photos are in HEIF (high efficiency image format) and the videos in HEVC (high efficiency video coding) formats, both of which Windows 10/11 won't understand unless you install an appropriate codec. Macs have no problem, as long as the website the video comes from supports the container/format. To top it off, videos on iPhones are usually in a .mov container, which most PCs can't use because Apple pulled Quicktime for Windows years ago due to security concerns. If you still have it installed, it should all work fine. You need to change the format settings for the camera app to "most compatible" (settings/camera/formats) and at least the photos will work. Not sure about the vids as they still use .mov as the container, instead of .mp4 or .m4v. Hth 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 One of the last Piña CoLagers. It’s actually quite a nice and drinkable beer, although it lacks a little in the pineapple department. I could call it a coconut lager 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 COOPERS REAL ALE Now 3 weeks old this Real Ale is just a delight to drink, it has a beautiful balance & the Amarillo Hops are coming through with a pleasant bitter finish. The light in my office is not super bright so not doing justice to the colour. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Yeah, found the right thread I don't know how Belgian Style Ale is supposed to taste (never had one), but by now I really enjoy my brew. in the beginning it had a weird aftertaste but today after exactly 6 month it's a really enjoyable drop. I used the Muntons Belgian Style Ale Kit. Made with Saison yeast you syphon the wort after about 5 days into a new fermenter, add some light dry malt and a cup of the lees and keep it fermenting, in my case another 16 days. With an ABV of 5.8 % it's not easy drinking but highly enjoyable. I might even do it again. Edited April 4, 2022 by Brauhaus Fritz 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 My Black Sheep ale, kegged. Much, much happier with the hops. I used the amount for a 25l recipe even though it’s only 19l. Good move Spring is starting here: had a false alarm last week - I went out in shorts - then next day it snowed 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The last of the Coopers Bootmaker Pale Ale This is magnificent absolutely at it's peak, 5 months in the bottle & I have one left in the fridge, I will be drinking it tomorrow, no sharing. I want to try & make something similar with my new AG venture as Coopers have made it too easy to make a great brew with cans of extract so I will have to study up on the recipe. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
