Classic Brewing Co Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 First taste of the newly kegged Draught out of the tap, 5 days old & it is a nice drop, I hopped with 50gm of Citra 4 days before kegging. It is full bodied & easy to drink. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone boy Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Having a sip of the Red IPA or perhaps more appropriately the BIPA - Brown IPA. First try at this style, and a little too much colour - mainly from an older kit that had darkened I think. Hops are good (galaxy, centennial and Vic secret) and everything else good, just need colour adjustment for the next one Cheers everyone 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to know I'm not alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Coopers Genuine Draught Hmmm. Not 100% sure about this brew. Maybe something went a little bit wrong. But, I cannot say what it might have been. Generally tasted okay, but not great. Clarity is excellent. Colour very nice. Sweet-ish beer aroma plus some spice Sweet flavour with mild bitterness Good carbonation but no head retention Not bad but not great. I will be happy to drink this, but probably not make again. Which is not a very bad rap because I rarely make the same beer twice. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sampled many cask ales on trips back to the UK and well, they're basically completely devoid of any fizz! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original version (20 litre batch): 2.8kg GF Ale Malt 200g Flaked Barley 200g GF Dark Crystal Malt 100g Biscuit Malt And breaking away from strict style guidelines: 15g Pacific Jade @30min 30g Fuggles @10min 70g Fuggles Steep/whirlpool Kveik Voss I've brewed several versions using the same malt base, but mix and matching various UK hops. This one pictured I used EKG and Harlequin. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Guinness clone. In the keg since 22/01. The pour is getting better (as in I’m becoming more employable so to speak..) I have a feeling the lactose effect is becoming more rounded and more malty and chocolatey… On the other hand I’ve had a least a bottle of vino so probably better testing tomorrow 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kegory Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 3 hours ago, beach_life said: Bandaids? Maybe. That's not the word that comes to my mind. It's kind of sweet but somehow artificial. It was very apparent to me in 001 but less so in 002 after letting the chlorine evaporate off overnight. I can still pick it up in 003, 004, 005, and in my first taste of 006, but those darker, roastier beers seem to mask it better. I treated the water with PMS for 007, a hoppy lager, and there was no trace of it in the sample I used for testing the gravity. That one's conditioning now but it definitely looks like chloramine was the culprit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then treated with ascorbic acid which worked really well, then added a caravan filter. Be interesting to see how the water here is 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Just started on the Regency Red from the Coopers recipe. I had no liquid malt so just used powdered instead. Lovely drop 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Phil, pretty decent served on the nitro blend. I’m still not convinced about the colour of the head - it’s a tan colour for me but in Ireland it is white. I know fellas on the forum reckon it’s the lighting but I’m not convinced. It’s academic anyway as the bloody keg blew right after that photo. Fortunately it was the 5l overflow leg and I have a cornie left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had Guiness on tap in Ireland, but I had a nitro can made in Ireland last night and it had a tan head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
