Captain 3 Droids Posted April 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I’ve brewed this one 14 times, ferments quickly (6-7 days), no hops to worry about and drinkable easily at 4 weeks. It’s a true simple basic Draught beer with flavour. You have to brew it, even just the once. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well it just so happens Cap, got a droid full of the stuff probably another 1-2 days and it’ll be kegging time 🙂. thanks For building the anticipation. 4 weeks you say? Grrrrrr. Oh wait. Got a LIGHTHOUSE and GOAT to keep me company until then. gotta love multiple droids. Wish I had a SS KEG plant down the street! 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J P Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I’m pretty stoked for the lighthouse too. Added a whole kilo of extra dextrose. 😈 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does give a high alcohol boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I was looking for the ABV without ruining the beer. What would you recommend instead a little light malt extract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J P Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I’ve just reached EOF on this one. anyone say it’s a BAD call to drop some east Kent Golding hops in for a dry hop? any idea how to “trick the droid” into a dry hop mode? cheers, JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To trick the droid you'd need to do a custom program at the beginning 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted June 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Has anyone made this recently besides me? I’ve brewed it 16 times now, it’s such a good simple drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a really nice drop though but hey, this is the issue with so many brewprints, you can actually really like one (like Neder and not have brewed it for a year without noticing, even Lion City I haven't done for a year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had intended to order this one in the latest round but once I'd added the cold weather beers I wanted to have a crack at plus a few favourites I was well over $200 and it was time to call it quits. So many beers, so little time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) I know I rave over this one, but hell, it’s a top simple ale, no dry hop requirements, EOF 6 to 7 days and it’s what you’d love walking into a pub. Photo a bit dark, Amber more to it. Edited June 20, 2021 by Captain 3 Droids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it’s just nice to sit back and have a traditional ale without the influence of additional dry hopping. At 4.5% it doesn’t put you to bed early.

As @Captain 3 Droids said just a nice easy cheap ale. Not hoppy, nice bitterness. Easy drinker. Good one to have on hand. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Brewing Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Surprised to see this one temperature ramp, since I thought that was only a lager thing, but nonetheless it's a good sign of beers to come! Might be bottling on the 5th day! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted February 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Surprise surprise in the Droid again today. @Gillies Brewingthe ramping will happen when the fermentation temperature is under the kegging temperature of 18C. It goes up slowly ie in this case 16C to 17C to allow the yeast to “clean up” any remaining sugars. It will then go to the 18C when it’s ready to keg. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A beer? Like it's definitely "traditional English ale" which means it's something a bit different to normal Aus pub fare, and it's certainly not offensive, but it's not got the pizzaz I was expecting. I guess because it's my first one with no D or H addition. Gotta say despite the fact it sounds like I don't like it, I feel like I could very happily drink litres of it! Party beer for sure. Ah well I'll give it a couple more weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
