stquinto Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Now this is a blinder - Coopers Regency Red, kegged 11/12 last year. Yum yum yum! Deffo do this one again. Not bad carbonation level: 40 psi for about 36 hours. I was a bit loath to shake it up as I preferred it clear, especially after having kept it for a month or so. I’ll recommend this recipe to anyone 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennyss Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 All in the family - I visited my father on the South Coast of NSW last week and we enjoyed his homebrew Coopers Sparkling Ale, and also the last of a Christmas present 1/2 doz of Coopers 2022 Vintage Ale. At beer time today I will enjoy my Coopers Pale Ale with extra yeast food and Galaxy hops. My husband will drink Tooheys New, as his Woolworths Draught has run out with the next lot ready in four days. My sister and her partner in Geelong stick to their home brewed Coopers Draught. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see the family are brewer's too, my brother & my nephew are as my old man was. So was his brother but have passed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Kaiju Krush clone. First glass out of last keg (would normally expect a bit of yeast in the glass). Nice and clear. Deliciously fruity aromas of citrus, mango and tropical. Malty flavour with tropical in the background and after-taste. Mild but present bitterness. 8/10 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 This tastes pretty good. It's just hit it's optimum carbonation but I don't know how it got there. I've had the pressure up and down more often than a new bride's nightie. I'll let you know what's in the beer later. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of experimentation on my part with heavy influence from a dubious Facebook page. 2 x cans of Woolies "Larger". 1 x can of homebrand mango slices. 2 x little cans of HB passionfruit pulp and about 20g of Pride Of Ringwood hops. I boiled and mashed the fruit together with the hops for about 5 minutes. Then I strained the "fruit/hops tea" into the mix on brew day. I don't have the patience or energy to dry hop later. I'm a bit set and forget minded. It has definite fruitiness flavour about it but I reckon the key to it tasting so smooth is I used reactivated Coopers commercial yeast from some Sparkling Ale stubbies. Cheers! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 First pour of the REAL ALE, this is the one that I dry hopped & it's a bit murky, but I get the hops full on, tastes great for such a young beer, only kegged on Saturday. I notice the left over in the bottles have a lot of hop matter floating around & the yeast forming on the bottom is green but in a few weeks it should be fine. It probably will clear up a bit, but I am not so much bothered about that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
