few things about this, i didn't actually use green bullet, i used Galaxy, and the Saaz was Australian Summer saaz.

Also, i used Dingermans Aromatic malt as opposed to Melanoiden.

Is it possible to edit the names of the malts and hops?

 

[brettprevans]

yeah we really need the RDB updated again. esp as galaxy is getting a huge following.

 

[Stubbie]

Just to confirm, did you use Coopers yeast?

 

[gibbocore]

Sorry mate, yep, recultured coopers yeast.

 

[gibbocore]

ahhh stuff it.

Looks great Gibbo and perfect timing as I'm looking to knock out a few quick summertime ales this weekend. I haven't got any Coopers on stand by so I might sup. for good olde S05 and no Ozzy Saaz so maybe the Sazz B (NZ).

How did it turn out?

 

[gibbocore]

I'm so stoked with this beer, lovely malt aroma, bready wheat flavour from the coopers yeast are finished up by the galaxy bitterness and fruitbowl flavours from the ozzy saaz. This has been another beer in my list of coopers experiments, it offers such a great versatile range of options to your beers, I've been letting it drop bright and it floccs beautifully in a short amount of time and can ferment quote dry or my favourite has been finishing it up at around 1011-12.

I made a ESB with it recently and am currently brewing the same recipe with ringwood for some side by sides.
