First used years ago ad I gave a bottle to the bloke organising grain buys for us. He liked it so much it went into the first beer her brewed for the brewery he opened and has been a staple ever since. It's an amazing grain and brings a little something special to a beer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 First try of the Black Rock Miners Stout with a kilo of Stout Booster, 500gm LDME US-4, Yeast Nutrient. It is very nice for only 4 days in the keg, rich, dark, smooth with roasted malt flavours, nothing like Coopers Stout but a pleasant change, a lot of coffee notes & a nice bitter finish. It would be great to age but as you can see one of my neighbours like it too. {sad face} 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The other keg has the Real Ale that I dry hopped heavily, I am surprised it is not cloudier. I think it will clear up considerably, I am happy so far. Cheers. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Amber Saison. I never posted the recipe. Just a kit 'n' kilo (really 1.5 kilo): Coopers Canadian Blonde + Mangrove Jacks Amber Liquid Malt Extract. Plus Lallemand Farmhouse yeast. Farmhouse is a different type of beer. Hay bale aroma with a little spice. Similar flavour. Pleasant but different. Some would not like it. But I do. Slight watery after-taste. Mild bitterness. Bottling/kegging my latest Coopers Original Pale Ale in the background 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Kaiju Krush Clone. Boy, I need to try this against a commercial version. Even better than the other day against the first glass from the keg. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Finally carbed-up and nice and clear - a Duvel clone. The residual sweetness seems to have gone too I kegged it on 11/09. A long time in the keg seems to help these “mid-strength” (8.5%) brews… Pouring well, must mean I’m close to the end Edited January 25, 2023 by stquinto Typo 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 A sneaky Stout out of the tap, 5 days in the keg & it is getting better, not as bitter as yesterday's sample & it is rounding off nicely. I would never want to age this & why would I want to, it tastes just fine, I did get to bottle 6 x 660ml bottles so I will work on keeping those for a while, anyway I have another batch of this to make so all is good. It amazes me why I didn't get in to kegging years ago because you can't start drinking brew that has been bottled for 5 days. The funny thing is I have a Stout Tap as you can see & I forgot to connect it up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
