Absolutely delicious. The Nelson is an interesting addition. I've got a batch of this in the Droid at the moment that is ready to keg. It's only the standard dry hop recipe though. I may have to try your variant some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worth while, google the Nelson Sauvin, rich in comparable flavour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY FB marketplace has crap left right and centre and yours has more precious things than a Ballarat goldrush.

Captain 3 Droids Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 15g each of Nelson Sauvin, simcoe, citra have made this quite exceptional. At 6 weeks it is smooth with a slight tang to the aftertaste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a night in the city during the week courtesy of the Great State accommodation vouchers and I enjoyed a few pints of the XPA on draught at the Grace after dinner. Really looking forward to my first couple of kegs of this being ready soonish and glad I ordered enough to make another 20L soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 At six weeks it’s just spot on as usual. My trusty little BrewFlo did a good job too. Fantastic carbonation and pouring with a really nice head that lasts the whole glass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I put this one in the Droid again yesterday and this is where I think the Brewart range is so great: Kegged the previous brew the night before but it was late and I'd had a couple of beers so couldn't be bothered doing a full clean up. Got up in the morning and had time to make up my brew water, clean and sanitise the Droid and get this one on just before heading off to work. Then I managed to get stuck out of town for the night and so have come home today to find it happily bubbling away. If you're short on time then it doesn't get much better than that. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Another XPA kegged today. Upped the hops a little on this one; was going for 40g each of Citra and Simcoe but only had 35g of Simcoe left so it ended up a 40g/35g split. I tried the sampler bottle of my other XPA batch last night. It was right on 4 weeks. Definitely needs another 2, so 6 weeks at least for this brew. Was still better than the $11.50 cans of Pirate Life South Coast Pale Ale we had at the tennis last night ... Oh the irony ... you score free tickets to the tennis and then take a beating on a couple of beers and some fried food.

It's got to be their worst beer too but pickings were slim. Tennis was good though. Adelaide boy won. A lady I work with is the wife of his coach too so that was nice to experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Showdown a couple of years back on free tickets...and I am pretty sure it was 9 or 9.5 for a plastic glass pint of Hahn Super Dry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
