The Pale Ale is bright, light and quite hoppy. The Brew A IPA is bitter, spicy, malty. Both yummy! Here is the photo proof @Pale Man. The Pale Ale is on the left and the Brew A IPA is on the right. I am drinking the pale ale right now - It's 5 o'clock somewhere! They look fantastic @jennyss, The Pale ale looks sensational. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So BB, you don't perceive any extra bitterness using this method? Interesting. Edited Saturday at 04:30 AM by Tricky Micky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate as it works in the same way as chilling the wort I've put two Roger clones side by side one with normal hop stand no chill and one with this method the one with the mini boil definitely had more aroma and flavour By doing the mini boil when you tip it into the fermenter then pour the cooled 12c wort on top it chills it straight away and stops the bitterness extracting from the hops (isomerization) Edited Saturday at 05:16 AM by Back Brewing 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted Sunday at 06:38 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:38 AM This is the OS Coopers Lager from the Aldi kit. It looks really good, clear and pours with a nice head. The smell is a little ordinay but the taste. The taste is absolutely…disgusting. I don’t know if something went wrong but I have made two OS Lagers so far and both turned out horrible. The first time I blamed Kveik for it. I was quite excited when I saw that there was no brew enhancer in the pack but actual LME. I fermented it with temperature control as always and ya e it enough time to ferment. I even left it in the bottle for almost 2 weeks before cracking this one. I can’t describe how it tastes. It’s not an obvious infection, so no vinegar or sour taste, nothing bandaidy, not the earthy taste I have experienced in off beers either. It just tastes awful. It reminds me of the first few beers after I restarted brewing 6 years ago. Those were the Bewitched Amber Ales from the Craft Kit. They tasted what I described as “funky”. I hope it isn’t supposed to taste like this though because it is truly awful The remaining bottles will go down the sink shortly. 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of figured it would be like that, when you bought your kit, I nearly did the same just for the hell of it, now I am glad I didn't. It seems the old sayings are so true, you get what you pay for & there are no shortcuts to brewing a good beer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted Sunday at 07:27 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:27 AM I am finally back at home base for a few days respite from family dramas so had a chance to sip on some of my own beers. Last night started off with my Premium Pale Lager which was fermented out with Dubbya and two months now in the kegs. Photo is a bit rushed, poor lighting and condensate on the chilled glass. This one was bittered with Summer Hops and also late boil of Summer hops. Very nice drinking. Its a cross between a premium lager and a pilsner. I like it so did another 54 L batch today. Other photo is my RyeRish Red Ale. Again a rushed shot. It was a chilly night last night so thought I should finish off with a darker beer and then move on to my Guinness Stout clone for a nightcap, but as I am pretty much stuffed, did not make it to the Guinness. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted Sunday at 05:05 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:05 PM My first batch of Botanical Ale, three months on the bottle. Wow! This is the best KnK recipe I’ve ever done I’ve just got enough ingredients for one more batch- it’ll be the fourth. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
