Brauhaus Fritz Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Partners in crime. Lemon Myrtle Weizen. ABV 4.8%. It’s the Coopers “Lemon Zest Weizen” recipe with leaves from my plant. One of the most refreshing beers I had so far. The subtle lemoniness of the Lemon Myrtle is so good. What an amazing plant. Will I brew it again? Absolutely, I have an end less supply of Lemon Myrtle leaves. By the way, Coopers “Lemon Myrtle Pale Ale” recipe is a cracker too. Pity I drank them all already.

Sorry for my ignorance They have a fairly strong bitterness but not as bitter as say an IPA. This one came in at 35 IBU’s. I used the Coopers pale ale kit as the base and built it up from there. Next one I think I’ll go a bit darker. What do they compare to? Well they are a pale ale but with English malts, hops and yeast. I used maris otter (liquid extract) and golden promise in this one.(as well as crystal). Think of a malty pale ale with earthy hops rather than fruity hops that you get in an American pale ale… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im planning on making a few of these types of beers over the cooler months and looking for inspiration… I’m going to try a partial mash with the Coopers family secret amber kit as the base - an ESB type thingy with Fuggles and golden promise… Cheers Tone This was a 20 litre stove-top AG, but you could of course do something similar as a partial - I often use the Coopers OS lager can as a neutral base and build on that. Anyway, my AG recipe was: 2.8kg GF Ale Malt 200g GF Dark Crystal 200g Wheat Malt 100 GF Biscuit Malt 20g Pacific Jade @30mins 30g Fuggles @10mins 70g Fuggles @FO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 The wife and I are spending the week at Coolangatta so will be trying a few different beers. Right now tasting a Hope Brewery NEIPA. First impression is the bitterness. Not like a beer bitterness at all. More the taste of quinine like in bitter lemon. The hop character is stone fruit and citrus hence the bitter lemon flavour. I suppose it is an acquired taste. Whether I want to acquire it is different thing. At $8 a can I will pass on another one. No doubt would be better on tap and fresh. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Wattle yeast beer. Brewed about 3 and a half months ago. Funky and seems to have a little brett in the background. SG is still up at 1.006 so I am not sure if it's brett or just something else in what the yeast is throwing. It's not bad but not the best saisoney type beer I have had. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bad but not the best saisoney type beer I have had. I was wondering how that would turn out. I’d be interested to know if you repitched the slurry, whether the healthy yeast produced a different beer. I suspect it would… I suspect that the stressed yeast from the first ferment would have thrown some funky esters, but the yeast that thrived, maybe less so… Thanks for posting Greeny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a starter out of the slurry rather than pitched straight slurry. It is less funky than the first one I made but has this bretty type taste in the background. The gravity suggests though that it's not brett otherwise the gravity would have dropped further. I put this in a keg as I was going away for a while and didn't want bottle bombs in case there was something else eating away. I think the yeast I got from my experiment is pure sacchromyces cerevisiae with the hopped wort I used. It's not bad but if I was aiming to make a saison I'd be using my favourite WY3726, Dupont or belle saison before this. I'm keen to try again this year in late winter when the wattle comes out again but with unhopped wort and see what I get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
