MitchBastard Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Chilling back my RIS as of yesterday. The damn thing has over attenuated. With an expected FG of 1.022 the big bad notty sailed past that and pulled up at 1.014. With an OG OF 1.084 and Once bottle conditioned that should push it to the border of 10% abv now….normally I’d be worried about the over attenuation but there is still plenty of body in it pre carbonation which is a good sign. There is a slight presence of alcohol on the back palette but is generally expected in that style and actually slots in Nicley with all the other big flavours coming through. Should be a ripper in. 6 months 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennyss Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 What's in the fermenter? Brew No.5 - a Coopers Real Ale. It is much darker than the Cooper Pale Ale. I cleaned the laundry; then sanitised the FV and equipment with a bleach solution before thoroughly rinsing them. Mixed the extract and BE No.2 in 2lt water, then added water to 23l before adding the yeast. Still no extras - maybe next time! With a small oil column heater in the laundry; the brew temp is 20deg, room temp 18deg, and outside temp 14deg. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good Jenny, good luck with it, I am drinking that right now from the keg, if you can step up to BE 3 you will even get a better brew, I would still suggest a 500gm box of Coopers Light Dry Malt as well to help it along. It is a nice beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) I just put together a COOPERS REAL ALE ( left ) purely to keep stock levels up as I will be doing an AG brew this week, I am also trying to get all FV's going so I will have a stock of bottled & kegged beer. It is a good opportunity as beachside today is around 10c raining & windy, not much else you can do.

Well thank you Dustin, that is nice of you to say that, I have always tried to be organised in everything I do. I guess the AACC ( Australian Army Catering Corps ) taught me that at a very young age & I have always maintained to carry that discipline throughout life. Cheers.

jackgym Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 What's in my fermenter? A MOSAIC HOPPED Extra Pale Ale Fresh Wort Kit hit with a pkt of US-05 yeast. The Good Wife says they're the best invention since whenever because I don't make a any mess. Win win all around. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I am single I claimed a tiny corner of our garage( not used for cars, build like a room into the house. Just waiting for my son to pick up his bike to put a fermenting fridge in. Every time I clean and organise my brewing corner wifey gets hold of more “junk” to make the garage messy again. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
