DavidM Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 1 hour ago, jennyss said: @DavidMYour Coopers Real Ale looks quite dark compared to a Pale Ale. Does your brew have lots of additions in it? I have recently bottled a batch of Coopers Real Ale with just the Coopers tin of extract and BE no.2 It won't be ready until 4th July! I can hardly wait to taste it. Unfortunately I have run out of my Pale Ale to compare LOL. Yes the Real Ale is quite dark compared to a Pale. This one had: 1 kilo Light Dry Malt, 300g Carapils steeped for 30 min. 250g Dextrose and 30g Saphir Hops. I like the Real Ale and do it regularly with little variations. Your Tin and BE2 will be just fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Mandarin and passionfruit sour - really good, the passionfruit is well aromatic with a nice bitter citrus hit A hoppy pale that's not really hoppy or pale 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Just having a Stout as we do on a cold Winter's day, I just had a haircut so it's extra chilly. I served one up to a mate last night & he thought it was an actual Coopers Stout - I too am amazed you close can actually get to the commercial recipe.

Naughty Corner Brewing Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Haven’t done a recipe of the month for ages but picked ups the Heritage Red Ale kit a while back. First try out of the keg today, naturally carbonated in the keg. Discussion here was that it’s better than the original. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cee Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 LagerAle Middy Mach 3 - please note this is only 8 days in the bottle but... well you know This one was different by using BE3 - I like this one best for taste and mouthfeel. At 3.8% it is not quite low enough but so far this LagerAle "Middy" is is best to actually drink. So this one is the "Middy" so far to play with then. Other iterations used BE2 in one and LDM in the other 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 First bottle of a Duvel AG clone, two weeks in the bottle. A damn sight darker than when I took a gravity sample just before bottling. That really disappoints me as the whole point of this beer is its crisp, light-coloured freshness. Too malty as well. I wonder if the addition of the Fermentis F2 yeast for the bottle conditioning could have darkened it, but I don’t know where the extra maltiness came from. Bloody annoying! I had much better luck kegging it. Maybe this’ll be a brew only to keg, and not piss around with bottle conditioning. I’d better get to like it, there’s another 65 stubbies to go… 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreweyMcHops Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Australian XPA 4.8% Using a Voss kveik yeast I've been reusing for 1.5 years now . Dry hopped with 100g centennial and 50g mosaic, hazy as a mofo squeezed that hopsock right on out Lots of tiny bubbles and a creamy head not like pub larger or soft drink 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 It does look a bit like yesterday's Aussie Larger but this is a very different beast... the K2 Kölsch w Lally K dry yeast... a bit more of a 'Cleaner' taste -- less Funky than K1 as it was dumped over the K1 Yeast Cake and run at slightly cooler temps... Clearing up nicely in the keg yumbo 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Lot's: First is a Real Ale, just lovely.. Opened the wrong bottle. Next is My first wheat beer, after trying @Classic Brewing Co one day I had to have a go. No where near as good as Classic Phil's but I'm very happy with the results. Galaxy Pale Ale with Wheat Malt. It's good.. I Love home Brewing 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
