Rob Courtney Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Saw this at the shops in the last few weeks and on tap, Australian Lager, not to be confused with the already released Australian Premium Lager or the soon to be released "Aussie Lager Mate". This one is a little lower in alcohol at 4.5% and is dry hopped with Galaxy. On the Coopers homebrewing site they have this brewed with Galaxy and Lemondrops. I'll get around to putting this on tomorrow and seeing how it turns out. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted November 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Put down tonight, interesting that propagation is 20 degree instead of 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted November 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Bottled it yesterday, think it was a 9 day fermentation, I put it into storage for a day. It tasted alright out of the droid which is good as i had one of these on tap on the weekend and it was OK really, not bad but not something I'd order first up when other Coopers varieties are on tap 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted December 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 I may have had 53 beers today as it is the staff Xmas party, I have come home on the back of a McDonalds cheeseburger...but I had one of these in the fridge. 2 and a bit weeks in, not too shabby but it is 1 am in the morning so maybe the next one is a better example. Not bad though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted December 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Ok, as I said, have had this on tap and it was OK, this at 3 and a bit weeks is a much better brew. Bit of bitterness the citrus/peach from Galaxy just a very nice drinking lager 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted December 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Won't bother posting a pic of the beer but 5 weeks in, really impressed by this one so far, very easy summer drink 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Gyldenvand Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Took a couple weeks off brewing due to hectic holiday schedule, but I believe I'll start the New Year off with this one. Happy New Year, everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted January 19 Author Report Share Posted January 19 So I had a pint (imperial) last night at a local restaurant. Geez, this brewprint stacks up very well. I get that I like lagers and pilsners more than the average punter but you really can't go wrong with this one, a very good lager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thagomizer Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I just added this BrewPrint (Australian Lager) to my spreadsheet for optimizing orders. The file is: BrewArt_Order_Guide_03.xlsx If you do not already have this spreadsheet, just use the attached file. You will need to edit column B to reflect your own inventory. Also, column C is in USA prices for the ingredients. If you already have the spreadsheet and do not wish to retype your inventory, you can use the following edits to include Australian Lager: Clear a partial blank line on row 5: 1. Select Cells F5 thru AS5 2. Click Insert on the Home menu Copy cell F4 into F5 Copy cells AA4 thru AS4. Then paste into Cells AA5 thru AS5. Edit cells H5 thru Z5 for the ingredients of Australian Lager; i.e., E5, X1*3, Y7. Of course, add the BrewPrint name to cell G5. Note that this BrewPrint calls for dry hopping with D7 (Galaxy) which I do not include in the spreadsheet. Happy brewing. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 OK, as a heads up I reckon this drinks best in the 4-6 week period, not bad afterward but an absolute beaut in that age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matter of fact, I just had my first batch of this "come of age" 4 days ago, so Bride and I cracked a couple last night. We will proceed with the intent to let a bunch make it to Rob's suggested 4-6 weeks, but I seriously can't make any promises. We have officially added this to the short list of frequent repeaters. Very. Nice. Beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to see you like this because I was very surprised on how good it was 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Simma Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Bottled today. I swapped to Y9 to up the fruit esters. Taste during bottling today was great. I normally fill a glass and put in fridge while bottling. Enjoy once cleanup completed. Pretty happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
