I need to up my game, what a slip up. Although to be fair I did gift a full keg to the son in law the other day. What was I thinking? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 COOPERS BOOTMAKER PALE ALE This is day 4 in the keg, I experimented this time I gave it 3 days at serving temperature - 10-12psi & last night whacked it up to 40psi overnight, this is the first pour, fairly nicely carbed although time will bring out more flavour. The addition of 200gm Carapils & extra 1gm of LDM have given a good bit of body, the 50gms POR last 3 days are not that evident but I am sure they will come through. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing is the experience of not only having you own beer on tap, but you are also drinking it in 3-4 days with little or no green taste. It really doesn't cost that much to set up a kegging system 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remember, I must admit I was happy with my beer then but I really couldn't have taken my journey any further until now. About time you called in for a beverage or nine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Went to town on the tastings. Well, not quite, as each glass is quite small (compared to larger ones..) COPA, Old Perc, and a Coopers Saison KnK And a Guinness that I’ve really messed up the pour too 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My digitally illiterate neighbour came over with his phone & said how do get rid of this message "clean your phone lenses" & I said clean them, he said how? I gave him a soft cloth & just said carefully wipe them with this. So, he wiped the phone screen 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 All Grain Pale Ale. Who said you can't use Saaz hops in an Ale. Very refreshing, just mowed the lawns. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Eh? What's up with the colour? My second kit brew this year: OS Draught, LME and Taiheke Hops. While it's been years since I used a Coopers Draught can and I certainly don't remember it being anywhere near this dark? Tastes OK, no head to speak of though... 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats a copper colour even allowing for light. Coopers Draught can is much lighter colour. Strange. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was purchased from a supermarket, where they usually have a fairly high turn-over so I know their tins are usually well within expiry so I tend not to worry about it. But, I could be wrong on this occasion! Anyway, at the end of the day.... it's still beer! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a Coopers Draught can not so long ago with a partial mash, it was definitely darker than the Lager or Pale ale can. But not as dark as your photo. I'd like to see it in natural light, but anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
