Morgans Dockside Stout | February 10th 2005 | |
good stoutI've made this twice both times with 1.5kg dark liquid malt, 300g corn syrup, 10ml liqorice extract. I used the supplied yeast & made batches of about 19-20lts & fermented it at about 22deg. I've used 15g of both Fuggles & Goldings hops It's very good, strong dark , malty, bitter stout, with a hint of sweetness. The head quality is also very good. It's not quite the perfect stout ..... the quest continues |

Black Rock NZ Draught | January 20th 2005 | |
DB DraughtI'm not a huge fan of Black rock beers or even DB Draught but I made a very close copy of DB using this , it was a while ago & I used an ultra brew & some green bullet hops. It was OK if you like that sort of stuff. |

Coopers Heritage Lager | January 20th 2005 | |
very easyA fine drop I've made it 10-15 times. It's sweet up front with a nice bitter aftertaste. I tend to use it to try different hops . I've done P.O.R., golden cluster, cascade , Mt Hood, northern brewer, hallertau & Green bullet. The best results are P.O.R. & Hallertau but all have been very good. |

Coopers Australian Bitter | January 16th 2005 | |
great stuffI've brewed this about 6 times each of them with an ultrabrew. 3 each with about 13g of either Pride of Ringwood or Goldings hop pellets (in a strainer with boiling water poured over them & left for 15 minutes ). It's absolutley fantastic, probably the best kit I've ever made. It's best after 3 or months in the bottle. Good body, head, bitterness & a little sweetness. Always popular with guests as well. You could drink it all day & all night |

Beermakers Bitter Ale XXX | January 16th 2005 | |
Cant complainA fairly standard Aussie style beer. I've made this 3 or 4 times & used 12-13g of either Golden Cluster or Pride of Ringwood hops & an ultra brew & filled it to 20-21 lts. Cant complain its very easy to drink & pretty cheap as well. I'll give it 3 stars but 3.5 would be better I might even make another this week |
