Shamus O'Sean Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Wheaty McStoutface. This was a basic Coopers Stout can plus a Wheat Malt Extract can and a mini-mash of Wheat and Ale Malt grains Dark chocolate and liquorice aroma Sweet note to the flavour Very smooth mouthfeel Mild roast aftertaste Yum 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Belgian Pilsner, based on Stella Artois. This was the one that was really clear in the fermenter after cold crashing. However due to room temperature during packaging, the yeast was roused a little so the beer got quite hazy. See the photo from kegging day. It has cleared up nicely in the keg though. Nice herbal piney aroma Crisp malty flavour with notes of herbal and pine, similar to the aroma Good balanced bitterness This seems very close to how I remember real imported Stella Nice to have an easy drinking tasty beer in the kegerator. Unfortunately only a few litres left in the keg 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I am thinking the keg of this beautiful stout is about to blow, sad really as I have really enjoyed this one. I must fire up the BewZilla & get things happening. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I am on my RyeRishRed ale and Guinness clones ATM as I have run out of my kegs of lager pub beers because by now, being colder I backed off brewing those as I thought I would appreciate a swerve over to the darker side about now. But unfortunately it has not bode well as I am not usually a dark beer man but tried to persuade myself to not "shut the gate" and give some of these a full on crack this winter. For some reason I just cannot get into these beers, not for a bit of a session anyway. I prefer my old favorites, pub lagers and pale ales like my COPA recipe for this, then maybe, just maybe finish off with a dark beer. It took me nearly a year to drink a keg of my Toohey's Old clone (AKA Darth Vader Beer) which was a nice beer and more sessionable than the ones I have on tap now. Its just my tastes, the RyRishRed is good but its only good for a couple of glasses to me but my mate really likes it. I have a 23 L batch of Coopers Sparkling Ale to keg up and a 44 L batch of my Premium Lager to keg also and really cannot wait to get those gassed up and on tap so I can get back to normal happy hour beers. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Tried one of my bottles of Wheaty McWheatFace tonight. Aromas of banana with bubble-gum notes Banana and clove in the flavour Very nice kit and (1.5) kilo Hefe Wheat and Liquid Wheat Malt and WB-06 Wheat Yeast Kegging my Czech Budvar in the background 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially I was a bit confused by your question. I also just realised that it is not a simple kit & kilo. It was a mini-mash with grains as well. So in my Whats in Your Fermenter notes for this brew, it shows: Wheaty McWheatFace 1.7kg Coopers Preachers Hefe Wheat 1.5kg Coopers Wheat Liquid Extract 670g Coopers Wheat Malt Grains 500g Coopers Ale Malt Grains I also did the Wheaty McStoutFace at the same time. Its recipe was: Wheaty McStoutFace 1.7kg Coopers Stout 1.5kg Coopers Wheat Liquid Extract 670g Coopers Wheat Malt Grains 500g Coopers Ale Malt Grains So the mini-mash was 2 x 670g = 1.34kg Coopers Wheat Malt Grains 2 x 500g = 1.0kg Coopers Ale Malt Grains Given the way I presented the recipes, I can see how somebody might assume it was 670g of Wheat Malt and 500g of Ale Malt spread across both brews. Each brew also got their own 1.5kg can of Coopers Wheat Liquid Extract. In short you do not halve the amount of grains. Each recipe effectively used the amount of grains shown. I hope I explained that right. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 My Espresso Martini. This was one of the bottles, so no espresso coffee addition. Still very nice for only 2 weeks in the bottle. Head died down to about 1/5th of its original size but that stayed around. Tropical-fruity-coffee-chocolate aroma reminiscent of Jaffa lollies Very similar flavour but with less tropical taste, and more subtle roast notes but definitely not harsh 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Landlord clone, warmish as it was straight from the kegmenter. Them a Pezzza’s Pilly Larger, and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. All good 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of brewing a little bit here and there some darker beers and bottling. Just simple K@K with a little grain or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, Paley that was just a simple k & k for quick stock, nearly all gone in the keg but a few 500ml Hefe' bottles left. I used the Cooper's Can, BE3 & 500gm LDME & kit yeast, as basic as you can get but it was really good. I have another in the FV that has been jazzed up with some dark barley & Fuggles hops, Nottingham yeast. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Pilly larger, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, then a Theakston’s Old Perc. Maturing them pays off, even if the Pale Ale (which is pretty hoppy) has become a bit maltier. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
