Hmmm hops

This was my first masterbrew.I made this with a can of coopers draught and the yeast that came with the tin. I racked, cold conditioned and bulk primed. After 2 months in the bottle it is now a crisp drinking ale with plenty of hopps. Would be a perfect beer to wash down the dust after a hot day in the sun. I will be making this one again for sure. (I would like to try this with a lager yeast and see how it would turn out.) Alex

Good Beer

Made the DHPA to 23 litres with rehaydrated safale - fermed at 18 deg for 1 week primary, 1 week secondary and started drinking it after 4 weeks in the bottle. Rough specs OG 1046 FG 1008. This beer is a crisp clean drop - didn't find the hops too overpowering at all. I bottle primed but imagine it would be even better if it were cold conditioned and kegged. Very satisfying brew to make - you will not be disappointed with the result.

A sharp edge to an Australian Pale Ale

This is an Aussie Pale Ale, so step right up and compare it to the best popular Australian Pale Ale, the Green masterpiece from Coopers. If you like the Coopers, it gives you something to think about. Hops. It has them in magnificent abundance. Early, they are almost overpowering, and best left to hopheads. Give it about 6 weeks in the bottle, and you've got an Aussie Pale Ale with a balance of sweetness and bitterness. Choose a good yeast. Recultured Coopers is a good start. Then liquid. Mmmm.

DHPA

Made to 20 ltrs with safale yeast as supplied. Hydrated yeast and pitched at 24C. Went off madly for 5 days at a constant 22C. Can't get much colder in Alice during summer. Racked and left in second ferm for another 5 days. Kegged and quick charged. I really liked the extra body and flavour from making with 20ltr. My only complaint is that my stomach couldn't handle the extra hops. Had heart burn that would wake the dead.

mmmm, hoppy!

Made to specifications with safale dry yeast (2x sachets in 300mL of luke warm water with a tsp of malt from the masterbrew pack) and Grumpy's medium bitterness pale malt extract (1.7 kg). Fermentation took off very promptly (within 3 hrs) but forgot to take OG! Fermentation completed within five days, but left till 7th to rack and CC. FG was 1014. CC for 5 days, then bulk primed (160g caster sugar) and bottled 19 litres on 9/1/05. Still immature at this time, but tasting very promising!
