Captain 3 Droids Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Through I’d try this one using the brewprint ingredients. Fermentation at 16C and recently just over 8 hours for the 2C fermentation swing to happen. Just great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Keg this one 1/4/19, now carbonated and in fridge ready to be drunk. Will advise out come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Well this turned out to be a another top drop. Sweet fruit and malt flavour( not over powering) and would say honey like. Slight bitter after taste with crisp refreshing finish. Will leave for another week to let flavours develop further, just my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Eight days have passed and flavours are described above have developed further. Nice clean refreshing drop. Is this a drop an Englishman drinks? Anyone else brew it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Yeah, didn't mind this one at all. Have brewed this a few times and been happy with the results each time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks Rob. It’s on my list to do again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 And this is another of the $17 beers, with US Chiller and Pale Ale and a few others that just bat very well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember exactly what the taste of beer was like for English draught...it was a blur, a real blur last time. Given that, I find it easier to compare it against an Australian draught, like Carlton...and when you do that, well it is English Pub first and daylight making up the next four places 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct again with the $17 beers. I find all the recipes end up being a reasonable price for the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if you have had the pleasure of drinking an "Iron Jack" but they are selling it at 40-50 bucks a carton. ( I bought a $4 pint when I took my kids to a pub that has a playground...say no more...whilst the wife was up marking yr 12 exams...and it was a disgrace...and they sell pallets of the stuff.) All of the 17 dollar beers dance all over the top of standard beers, let alone Iron Jack, it has made the purchase of the 2 droids, all worthwhile. I have found I have to go to more pricey beers to get the same quality and taste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted July 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Th be honest besides the huge expense, I generally find pub beers on tap hard to drink. Usually I’ll buy a stubbie of Coopers Pale Ale or try some exotic craft crap so I can brag about my own a bit more. SA’s West End Draught on tap (or in the can/bottle) isn’t fit to be called a beer, it even smells like crap.

SA’s West End Draught on tap (or in the can/bottle) isn’t fit to be called a beer, it even smells like crap. Pub Beers on tap are shocking. Particularly where I live, it is Northern, Dry, maybe Draught or Pale. It really annoys me because I think back to 10 years back, walking in Sydney, shopping with the wife and she said "next pub, lets get you a beer or two" as she does...and it was a bit dank but the selection of tap beers was sensational...actually had three pints as that was the best I could narrow it down, I mean these guys had Kozel on tap at a stage that we barely had it in SA in bottles. In fact, there are so many beers you see on tap or in bottles that sell by the pallet and all I can think is " that stuff is shite, even my worse effort brewing ( and my first couple we kinda OK) with 2 weeks secondary had this stuff covered Anyways, just pulled first pint of keg with 9 weeks and just a treat, it is a bloody nice beer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 So, a few hours in and at about 9 bucks for a 5 litre keg...pretty good value 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Great value, that’s 13 x 375mm stubbies for $9, ha can’t get that a Dan’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, has seen me through the weekend, about 11 pints, maybe 12 ( sort of like the Dirty Harry speech " In all this commotion, I'm not sure whether I drank 11 or 12 pints,") Which for less than a tenner, is just good fun and good value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Finish one off, new one in the droid with an extra X5 to boost the alcomohol content. Had purchased the extra X5, thinking I was going to put it in the Belgian Ale to make it 10% but thought better of it no need to end up puking like a 16 year old at his first party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hmmm, forgot I put the extra X5 in it, have kegged and bottled this one. Think most of the bottles will end up in the mystery box as that is starting to get low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think that has made it better, that is a really, really nice beer, almost craft beer like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Yep, has made it so much better. Always liked it but yeah, this is very nice...and the best part is, I think this has scope to improve as it ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 4 weeks down the track, had another stubbie and yeah, really nice without any extras, prefer it with an extra X5 in it. Had it tonight with shop bought fish and chips with a home made Tartare sauce. Could have only have gotten better if my wife had said "Elle Mcpherson needs somewhere to crash tonight and we do have a pretty big bed" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
