Whats In The Glass

[Bribie G]

Vienna lager. About 4-5 months old now and tasting great.

That photo should be shown to every new aspiring brewer, if necessary at gunpoint. Well done sir.

3rd AG brew, taste good. It's beer, it's Ross's Summer ale. Happy it's drinkable having only ever fermented 3 brews ever.

Looks great Coxr, beautiful colour and pretty good clarity. It looks like you've been brewing for years already.

It's so appealing that I wish I had a glass of it in my hand right now

Thanks, I am just lucky that I found this site so I am able to learn from those who have been brewing for years.

Dr. Smurtos Golden Ale that I made for brother for Christmas - I kept a bottle for quality control..

Overall turned out nicely, nice maltiness with a gentle grapefruit citrusy flavour which is kinda refreshing after very hoppy beers I've had lately.

Edit: also slightly too dark since I boiled off too much and didn't dilute it back down, but ohwell

Looks great, did you use Amarillo?

Yeah all Amarillo, even used the last of my stock but it was well worth it

Inspired by the 'oldest bottled beer' thread I've opened this blast from the past.
According to my brew logs it was bottled in Feb 1998. One of those old Muntons Gold kits (Highland Heavy Ale) with two tins of hopped extract.
Also according to my notes the average ferm temp was 27C and it was bottled after 7 days...ahh, the good old days.

Carb looks pretty tidy for a beer that old! Must have given it some with the capper

I brewed one of those kits. Wasn't half bad.


How is it ???

that made me laugh out loud, so funny to read the reference to the old days of 27c ferms and bottling after 7days.

Looks like it held up well, as already asked, does it taste ok?

No good at all I'm afraid gents. If there was ever a trainee beer judge who just couldn't pick up the sherry/wet cardboard of an oxidised beer one whiff of this would set him/her straight.

@mje1980. My notes did say I enjoyed it way back when (even after a 27 degree fermentation). Not surprisingly time hasn't been kind (to me or to this brew).

I found a bottle of my first ever kit beer the other day at one SWMBOs relatives places.

Couldn't finish it..

Here are a few I've had in the last hehmmm day or two...... Luckily I didn't photograph the 'I'll just try another to be sure' seconds and thirds.... I love summer in the highlands!

Hefeweizen


Premium American lager


No introduction needed

Do you filter mckenry? Those beers are so clear I can almost see through the RIS (I presume).

 

[DU99]

could be BlackIPA..look's good mckenry

 

[Mattrox]

Drinking a Cooper kits and bits Amarillo Golden Ale..... hitting the spot.


Their Hop slam IPA UK which I opened a tester today... and a couple more... has carbed up early and is a nice drop too. I'll have to leave a few to age a bit.... but it's drinking well now......

 

[Mattrox]

Going down too well.

Yes, I gelatin filter and CC. The hefe I did not though. It's cloudy when I give the keg a roll. It's been sitting for a while. Yes it's a stout, not RI though.
They are see through!
