stquinto Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 First pour of a Sam Adams AG. A bit undercarbed but it’ll work itself out. Although in the recipe I used there was 100g of dry hops, it’s not very bitter. Maybe should have used more in the boil… Another work in progress but quite drinkable 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) I don't even know what's in this but I'm going to find out. There's a nice story behind it. My daughter's boyfriend has a grandfather that brews. They went to visit him on the weekend in a regional coastal town in SA. Conversations must have turned to Muzzy being a home brewer too and the next thing I know is my daughter's brought home a 6 pack of Pops' finest and a nucleated glass for me. I've never met the fella before and he's been good enough to gift me these. Some people are so kind. Apparently he calls it draught lager. I've already contacted the boyfriend to get the recipe. It's in the taste regions of West End/Carlton Draught. It's a very good beer. Great clarity too for a bottled beer. The glass was chilled so the clarity doesn't seem as apparent in the picture.

Dry hops don't add any bitterness. You can use some in a hop stand, which will give you flavour and a little bitterness, although not as much as when you're boiling it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 First pour of the Pale Ale I kegged on Saturday - 24 hours @ 40 psi & 24 hours on 12 psi, wow I can't believe it, it's actually very drinkable in such a short time, I know it will improve with age - who am I kidding Anyway it beats the **** out of waiting for your bottles to carb up, why isn't everyone kegging 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I messaged the boyfriend after the first mouthful to get the recipe for me. I'm hoping grandad is an extract brewer and I'll be able to emulate it. If he's an AG brewer I'm shot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any yeast in the bottom of the bottles? There was a small amount of sediment in the bottles. So I assume he uses a small amount of priming sugar. They were bottled in March so the generous amount of time in secondary fermentation has probably assisted the excellent level of carbonation. That's something I'm unlikely to achieve because Muzzy has never had a beer sitting around for 5 months. Muzzy's beers are "brewery fresh". 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think is excellent, others might think is garbage. However I'm fairly confident most would like this beer. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is a big unknown, one that is usually connected to a fair investment and it scares people. In my case, kegging was like AG brewing, it was done by the gurus who knew exactly what they're doing. When I went AG, I was surprised how un-wizardy it actually was but kegging was still something wayyyy above what I can do and understand. Until I convinced myself it ain't rocket science. Well, I just had my 1st kegging anniversary, sent lots of rockets into space and don't miss bottling one bit. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Grain and Kegging does not involve any wizardry. The only one downside is initial outlay for equipment. Like everything i guess. I think i personally wasted years and years of brewing not all graining and kegging because i thought it was for the elite. Confidence is a big thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malter White Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 @Classic Brewing Co @Aussiekraut I'm now kegging and enjoy some aspects of having beer on tap but if I could turn back time I would have stuck with bottles exclusively. Cost isn't the negative factor for me because I still figure I'm saving thousands a year by making my own beer, so this offsets the cost of buying the kegging gear. The cruncher for me is the fact I'm inherently lazy. Watching regulators, changing kegs over when I'm pickled etc. I've found somewhat annoying. Aside from sediment issues I think bottles are better than kegs....but each to their own. Cheers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
