hi guys well my first batch which is a coopers draught with added malt dextrose,corn syrup may be starting to fail.i cracked a bottle after 6 or 7 days and i thought it was really nice for such a short time in bottle.then i had another one in the fridge for a couple of days and opened that last nite it was still quite nice after 14 days though a touch cloudy still.so i thought i would have another one and went out to thre shed where i had them stored crabbed another bottle and stuck it in the freezer for about 90 mins.this one on opening had that slight hint of yeast flavour like what you get at the bottom of your bottle if you are not careful and tip it in to your glass.anyway i drank it but not as nice as the first bottle i had earlier that nite.this morning when i woke up i can taste a funny taste in my mouth ,not sure if its the yeast from that last bottle or not gargled ,brushed ,sinsed mouth etc but still a hint of that peppery yeast flavor in mouth and on tongue.hope this first batch is not starting to fail.i will try another tomorrow nite and i have already put it in the fridge to bring the temp down more slowly.they are still a bit hazy in the bottle and glass,probably fermented a touch high in temp as i had the electric heat pad under there and turned this on at times where the temps got up to about 26 deg,any way ill keep you all posted
cheers
