Hi Guys,

Try a Coopers Lager can, dextrose and some pride of ringwood hops.

Rusty nails might also help ...

Jokes aside, use a mix of 250g dry malt and 750g dextrose in a coopers lager kit (try to find a lager kit that has the latest use by on it so it's fresh) use a lager yeast and ferment cold if possible, or use a clean ale yeast like US56.

when i left school i almost lived on Coopers HB stout. the old story - 25C with a kilo of sugar :wacko:
and we found when we were teenagers if we put Southwark Bitter in the fridge, Dad wouldn't drink them all :chug:

Hey,

Easy to knock West End draught. Try and make one from grain (just for kicks) and see how hard it really is. No short cuts there.

cheers

make a great beer and ruin it perfectly

 

[Darren]

Tangent,

If you judge it for what it is it isn't to bad. Maybe I am thinking of the premium range?

cheers

Darren

 

[tangent]

pilsner 108?
i agree, people bag "megaswill" but it's not so easy to make a beer-bogun happy with homebrew

coincidence that the recent marketing term "cashed up bogans" spells CUB? you be the judge...
(i know it's LN not CUB that make Worst End Drought)

 

[Darren]

No Southwark Premium,

Wasn't too bad the two years ago I tried it

Probably dont make it anymore, who knows?

Shat all over the CUB range

cheers

I think i am interested because my parents still live there and every time i go West end is my only choice and after 2 days of drinking it it becomes really good.

Dude,
The whole point of homebrewing is to brew something that tastes good.
Why bother assing about trying to clone WED when you can buy it for feck all at the bottlo?
By the time you buy the ingredients, and factor in a few hours or screwing around, you will have spent more than the carton of piss would have in the first place.
I think alot of people in Australia undervalue their time, and sheesh, 10 hours spent trying to re create a crap beer for scratch, seems like either some truly false economy, or fanaticism.
But if you have time to waste, be my guest.

A bit elitist there, don't you think? Let the man take his own journey.
