I must confess my sins. But gratefully so.
I bottled a kit beer three days ago........as a partial brewer, its a backward step for me. But one that is needed to get some brews down. Time is my enemy at the moment.
Anyway, back to my point. I bottled a Coopers Lager, with a Brew Enhancer #2. Loaded it with hops !!
I boiled the Enhancer for 30 minutes with an addition of Simcoe at the start of the boil. Then at 15, 10, 5 and flame out....additions of fresh Amarillo were added. ( Yeast was US Saf 56 )
Just chilled one down after three days in the bottle. Bloody delicious !!
Obviously very green. But lovely Passionfruit, Grapefruit flavours. Not fruity as in Banana esters.....but zingy !!! and fresh. Lovely colour, and clarity. In hindsight i would have bulk primed with honey, and cc'd....maybe to make a drop that could challenge you AG guys.
When this one carbs up, its going to be the cracker of kit beers. I can see it !! Watching the One Day Cricket, with an Amarillo Coopers Lager Zinga !! :super:
