Otto Von Blotto Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) I picked up a carton of that arc valley lager a couple of guys had been talking about recently. It's not bad for its price tag of $33, better than hollandia and pretty refreshing in this hot and humid weather. Trying to keep the costs down until I have both kegs on tap again as well. Pretty hard to justify $70+ a carton with all the other expenses we have. Once I get the second fridge going I will probably hardly ever buy beer at all so I'll get sixers of better brews to try then.

Lab Cat Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 These are good. Hoppy steam lager apparently. Probably a marketing angle for beer geeks. Clean fresh, light but full strength, lots of flavour with some bitterness. https://craftypint.com/beer/4871/little-bang-brewing-icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really really good beer mate, i am trying to work out a recipe for it as we speak. If you go on their website They list their stockists. I was in their brewery the other day, great atmosphere and great setup. Cheers, Hoppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they have the “Weezale” while you were there? I haven’t been back to Lincoln for a while, next time I go back I’ll definitely be visiting the beer garden.

We had a brewery show a couple of weeks ago here in Whyalla with Beer garden, our local brewery Project Ale and Mountain goat. So yeah tried quite a few that day but the standout was the cage diver. Maybe give them a call and see if they can send some over to you? Cheers, Hoppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should email them to get them to send me a few..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy81 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Yeah right, that's awesome. Can't see why they wouldn't send them mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a few ideas... Coopers DIY recipe: Beer O'Clock Session IPA approx. 4.5% ABV Mid-Strength Nirvana approx. 3.5% ABV The Mid-Strength Nirvana recipe would need to be modded slightly, as since that recipe posting The Coopers Sparkling Ale kit has had it's base bitterness increased. I hope that helps, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried the throwback IPA and like it, but not as much as the blue can! Soz I thought the pic was of the little throwback IPA @ 3.5%. For the IPA I would try something like the following, Coopers Sparkling Ale 1.7kg Briess Munich Malt liquid Malt extract 1.5kg Light Dry Malt extract 750gms Dextrose 250gms Boil 15-20gms of Centennial in 6-7 litres of water/500gms of dry malt extract for 30mins Add a mix of Centennial, Riwaka, & Simcoe @ flameout totalling approx. 80gms. Steep for 5-10mins then cool. Dry hop with the same 3 hops at a minimum of 120gms (40gms each), or more if you like. OG = approx. 1.065 FG = ? EBC = 20.3 IBU = 62-67 Bottled ABV = approx. 6.8% Make sure you pitch 2 sachets of US-05 (or equivalent) yeast. Brew to 21 litres. Ferment around 18°C. That should get you somewhere in the same ball park. Cheers, Lusty. Edited February 3, 2019 by Beerlust 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It appears this brand is Woolies owned but in the absence of sufficient home brew I picked up 20 cans for $38 @ Dan's on a member offer. Bloody nice drop imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah BentSpoke make some great beers, especially at the brew pub. I am lucky enough to have visited them quite a few times, living in Canberra. That was before having kids, so it's been a while now.
