You could do worse than a 1:1 Aroma steep of Galaxy and Lemondrop. No photos, but I prefer mine to the original as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Just finished brewing yet another a stove-top AG batch, but every now and then I brew a kit beer so thought I'd celebrate another successful brew day with a glass of this - dark ale +1.5kg LME, enhanced with some left-over Superdelic hops. Does the job... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back Brewing Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 A taste of my COPA after 6 days on gas it's not a bad drop but could do with a bit more bitterness 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDT2 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 New Eagles glass thought appropriate using it for the first time today after a win! (Have to make the most if it) Just trying my Hazy IPA/NEIPA has Citra, Centennial and Nelson late and a kg of oats. Well this is orange/pineapple juice after dry hopping at high krausen! Its nice I think I prefer a bit more early bitterness though! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye makes an interesting beer. I did a couple with rye a few years back. Didnt interest me enough to do any more of them though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChairmanDrew Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Fresh Hops 2024 V1. To my tastes it's kind of similar to DB Export, for those who are familiar with NZ beers. A bit sweet, mild, but slightly fruity (wine like) finish. Maybe it's the same hops they use for DB Export? Or maybe like Export it's just a bit bland Oh well, a bland beer is better than an outright bad one! 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmar92 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 This is a rye ale from a double batch. Coopers Premium Pale 70%, rye 15%, Voyager Veloria 9.5%, Carapils 5%. Bittering hops were Cascade and Magnum with a late addition of Cascade. 1/2 of the batch was fermented with Nottingham and the other with Verdant. This is the Nottingham version and only 1 day in the keg. Obviously it will clear more with further conditioning. It was quite spicy on the 1st day but has started to mellow with more time in the keg. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDT2 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 1 hour ago, Back Brewing said: Yeah be good if you could Sure here it is except i used barrett burston pale malt instead of marris otter! The original recipe used east kent golding about 69 grams and in my second recipe i have used target hops as the homebrew store were handing them out for free as they were old but so far the sample from the fermenter tastes good I just done a straight forward mash filled my kettle and probably sparged with about 5 litres to make the volume! My dad loves Guinness and he loves this recipe especially with the nitro Nearly forgot i put the lactic acid in the keg not mash. I didn’t adjust my water other than filtered and Perth water where i am is soft! Edited April 17 by RDT2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
