Chucked a cuppla bottles of my 2can coopers heritage lager in the freezer an hour ago and am sampling them now. 2 cans of heritage lager + a kilo of LDM and 8 weeks in the bottle so far.

Its without a doubt the most besterest beer I've made in my short time brewing. :beerbang:

Many thanks to forum member Zabond (who I know from nearly 3 decades ago when he owned a great motorcycle shop) who gave me some advice on keeping the brewing temps down and various other things that have helped me immensely :beer:

My case swap Kolsch...I love the extra dimension the Kolsch yeast brings.

nice RK, did you use 2565 or 2575 ?

takes awhile to clear doesn't it.

cheers

I used 2565 and yeah it can take a while to clear...took a month of CCing. Mind you I used it in an alt and it took half the time.

And a beautiful kolsch it is too.

To date, Kolsch is the only beer i have ever had on tap that my partner has poured herself a pint of.

She really enjoyed your kolsch as well. As did i. Very clean but with enough malt and subtle yeast derived esters to keep you interested.

Need to get my hands on some more kolsch yeast after i disposed of the yeast bank recently.

Cheers Dr...I've got a bit of the Kolsch cake left from the first run if you want.

I used the 2575, it was popular with the girls also, i ended up trying gelatine for the first time to clear mine, couldn't wait..

i've got JZ's alt from BCS ontap atm but with US-05, i still have some of the 2575 cake left so maybe that's one for the list.

cheers

Rough day, wake up, walk dog, watch criket, make dough then pizzas for lunch. Of course a big IPA is needed to wash pizza down.
 
The second of my Chinese Bitters, with 50g Cluster for bittering and 20g of Northdown for finishing. Bloody nice drop. The first one still on keg had 20g of Challenger for finishing and it had a real sharp bitterness which I had attributed to the Cluster. Probably came more from the Challenger even though it was late addition.

I'd have to say the Cluster seems to be the pick of the Chinese hops so far, which is more than can be said for the Saaz :(

Cheers yard, biggest challenge here was getting the 67 mangoes that the fruit bats knocked off the tree in the background into the bin. Daily occurance at the moment.
