Ghost Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Geez all this talk of people chasing down Oiginal series bitter...and come to think of it, it's one of the only original series I have never made! Are you guys saying I should join the chase to get my hands on one of these cans, before I become one of those few who never tasted it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THIRSTY MATT Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 hi all, i made one original bitter in my early days! i wanted too learn what a "bitter" beer tasted like. :oops: :oops: i mixed the concentrate with BE2 and 24grams of SUPER ALFA!!! :oops: :oops: ........................i learnt right away what a bitter beer tasted like!! matt p.s. it was great for cleaning your spanners and rusty chains in!!

Ghost Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 It coudln't have been any worse than XXXX Bitter, Mat? Or was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Did you put some aside to allow the bitterness to soften? It may have the potential to be a sensational brew after 6 mths or more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIRSTY MATT Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 ITS BLOODY BEAUTIFUL!! it has darkened to almost a dark ale colour, but with a red tinge when held up too light!! bitterness has mellowed as paul said,its got the creamiest (just a lil more white than tan ) head. a subtle sweetness and the tiniest hint of roasty/ toast. maybe hint of nuts too ,but its hard too tell as i just ate tacos! so what did we learn today kids.................never ever throw a batch out!! cheers matt :D p.s. maybe more dark copper than dark ale,,,,,hell i dont know,,,ITS GOOD BUT!

AussieJosh Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Good to hear Matt! Maybe after 3 years of aging you will also love the new English bitter! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brew Master Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Just cracked a stubbie of "English Bitter" that has been down just short of 3 weeks, must say it is quite nice. I will give it a bit longer in the keg, which I am naturally carbonating. Maybe crack it in a month to 6 weeks. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THIRSTY MATT Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 hi all, josh, ill fill me keg then bottle about 7 tallies or whatever! ill leave it 3 months (if i can resist) n taste a bottle...the keg will have aged more n ill base the "keg cracking time ' on that! what i mean is if its too bitter or raosty toasty ill leave it for six months in keg to mellow! cheers mate! matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJosh Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Sounds good Matt! Kegging is a bit advanced for me atm...But i think ill get in to it later this years afters a few more brews! November or December maybe!? Hope you like it Matt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIRSTY MATT Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 i tried it! 3 weeks old and at 2 degrees its quiet a nice beer! when i let it warm up to 10 or so it was a bit rich for me. i have a keg that i will be drinking before winters end. i think its better than the old bitter, the syrian goldings made big difference i think! LOL.. ITS DRINKABLE JOSH, SO YA OFF THE HOOK!! :P cheers matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
