good work all. a little birdie told me I have one of these coming for fathers day. had 2 years away from homebrewing now. but looking in to this has wet my apetite to get back into homebrewing. was doing 10l allgrain batches before i quit due to the pita of bottling and the expense of getting in...

Poored this one tonight, a little more bitter then i remember but still pretty smooth.

+1 well said, the 2 beers discussed were made to be drinkable balanced examples of there respective styles, not hop bombs.

Yep that's the one, had it at the Astoria beer garden in Queens NY, was one of those beer moments where you just sit back and say wow

can not fault this one, perfect was what came to mind this as above

:icon_offtopic: I just went to sample a stout that I have been aging for over 16 months and the bloody thing gushed out everywhere, opened another 2 bottles same thing!! :( :( Tasted a sample, and tasted like liquid vegemite. The weirdest thing is though I sampled a few bottles at Xmas and...

I used to dislike dark beer apart from the occasional guinness or kilkenny on st pats day etc, then when i started hombrewing i wanted to make a lcpa inspired beers and i just went hop crazy, but never really hit the mark, then a light bulb turned on and i payed more attention to the malts, then...

90% of the bottles i use are the little creatures bottles, never had a single break with more refils then i can count, curently have probably about 250 full bottles in the cupboard give or take atm

Glad you liked the recipe mate, seems to go good with the american yeasts aswell, recently made this with wyeast1272 and i think i like it better then the coopers version, really allows the hops to come through

Nice, i have been thinking about getting a filter as a few of my beers have been cloudy while others crystal clear, cant figure it out for the life of me

sweet please do gibbo, i have made this 3 times now, and have 1 in the bottle conditioning atm. i even thought about tweaking it but then thought the better of it, why fix what isnt broken. :chug:

what a coincidence i brought a 4 pack of this for the first time yesterday so i could drink while watching the footy, and i bloody loved it, it is a really nice well made beer and not overly fruity, was about to do a search for a clone recipe, anyway my 4pack only cost me $14 so cheering :D

emerson's pilsner was all Riwaka but i think they also add some nelson sauvin in there now, it is the no. 1 rated pilsner on ratebeer and it was the riwaka that got them there, shame they went for the higher AA sauvin to save on costs.

sort of OT on the weekend i picked up a sixer of a beer i hadn't tasted before and was tossing up between the williams pale ale and burleigh 28 pale ale, well i went the sixer of 28 and glad i did it was a nice drop a bit of sweet lychee i got from it, and after reading this thread seems i would...

another +1 on the toucan coopers dark ale + coopers stout i also added 500g golden syrup and fermented with S-04, best kit beer i made, better then any extract stout attempt for that matter too and almost neck and neck with the AG oatmeal stout/coffee FES that i have made.
