Classic Brewing Co Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 COOPERS REAL ALE This is what I couldn't fit in the keg, bottled 21/06/2022, first pour was a bit heady but it's settled down nicely, comparing this to what I drank in the keg, it is slightly sweeter but finishes with a pleasant bitterness from the Amarillo. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't they aim that at the smokers - bet to many of those poor saps couldn't go without for a month !! I do respect those that may be doing it for charitable reasons though.

Dry July is a fund raiser for cancer patients. I've done it once in the past it was tough. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a smoker lasted a month, they may as well quit. I sure don't miss the death sticks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Well this is monumental for me, my first ever AG brew kegged. So far I have only kegged a few k & k brews but this is it. All of the great help & support from this great forum have made this possible. I have brewed it AG, fermented it under Temp Control, Cold Crashed it, Kegged it, Fast Carbed it & now just poured it. Yummo. Tastes divine & I am wrapped, it is also very clear. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree malt helps the head for sure. BE3 has about 30% light dried malt. I use BE3 or malt 500g for a middy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A can of Coopers Liquid Wheat Malt is worth trying with any Coopers Kit brew too... if you are keen on head, creamy mouthfeel and head retention... note that it is not pure wheat... mix of barley n wheat malts... Note but that this is as well as - the kit itself... add the can of liquid malt "wheat" seen as per the below pic: @jennyss JSS it would be worth a try... with whatever favourite Ale kit you make (suggest not Coopers Lager) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pints Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) @jennyss just to reiterate the other blokes, using wheat malt has upped my head retention game. I also do kit and kilo like you, with the occasional grain steep amd hop additions. This is a Morgan's amber ale, with caramalt liquid malt extract, and half a tin of wheat liquid malt extract.

And I promise, I only have one bottle a day, ha, ha . Nice one. Bottled some stout once in some Growlers and left them for some month. Unfortunately the once with the metal lid where flat, but the once with a plastic lid where sooo good. Just seemed to be the right size for this type of beer. Just can't seem to get hold of extra plastic lids, would love to do it again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inching closer to adding extras to my K&K. We are a very broad community with what and how we brew. This makes it interesting. Your Amber Ale looks lovely too. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
