I reckon that’ll bring out more of the aromas and flavours mate keep us posted 

Spot on, it does, the kick of Galaxy is much stronger at 8 but I kind of like really cold beer

So a few beers in and 

 

 

 

It is a perfectly acceptable beer but there is nothing at 8 weeks that makes me want to brew it again. I am going to change the temperature of it from 5 to 8 degrees for the second half of the keg to see what difference that makes

 

True to form then really. A bit like the real thing. Sometimes Furphy tastes great and other times you just wonder why you bothered.

To be honest, if I was brewing it again, I'd mix the hops up a bit, maybe go equal split Galaxy and Amarillo

@Dustin Frothman so, having second keg, 9 weeks in and yeah, this first glass is really nice, can see a fair session of this going on tonight

Thanks for update. I’ll have to squeeze it into an order sometime. 
 

Look forward to reading your posts later! 😏

So sticking true to my new regiment of not posting after midnight...which will probably get broken again next week. 

Maybe its because it is an ale but it becomes a little bit meh after a few pints. What I appreciated to begin with with the galaxy flavour was a little less enjoyable as the night went on. Now this may be on me, as I usually drink bottles I do mix my brews up in a night and I will adjust it so it goes from a bitter lager with just saaz or hallertau to beers ith a mixture of hops promoting a more fruity mouthfeel ending with something with maybe Galaxy.

In saying that though, I did have six imperial pints so it was still a good drink but yeah, given the amount of beers I can brew, unikely to put this one on again
