A forced change to the hops, have the 20g citra but boobed and used 20g Saaz. Have run out of Hersbrucker. So substituted with 20g Willamette. Should be ok.

Gillies Brewing Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I just wanted to say I cracked my last bottle which has been sitting around for when I really needed a good beer and appears to be at 20 ish weeks, and this is a borderline sexual experience. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well over 8 weeks, Saaz done it’s job and an enjoyable reminder of summer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Dalton Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hey all, I am just sampling my first brew of the Golden Days of Summer Ale, albeit on the 1st August in the middle of Winter. I kegged it a couple of weeks ago, but have recently started adding more liquid to the droid, so I can fill my two kegs, then also fill a couple of bottles to use as samplers. Geez, it’s only been 2 weeks in the bottle and I love it. A wonderful fruity taste, not overly bitter. Christ; I gave my wife a taste and she hates beer; nonetheless I had to open both bottles because one pot wasn’t enough for her. A real distinctive flavour that separates it from others. Cheers! Anthony 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Funnily enough, it is what I have in the droid at the moment. Was going to get up this morning and go get some Amarillo hops but got a wee bit hammered last night, had a friend over and even though we drank a few longnecks of beer, we knocked off 4 bottles of red. So, kinda hoping he has some hops when I get there Monday, otherwise I am a bit stuffed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Crisis averted, I was stoked to see he at least had 25 gms of Amarillo, happier to see 100gms of it...getting a little pricey though for hops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 It has been a good evening for beers, A Boho, a S&W Pacific but this, this 5 weeks in with a 25/15 split of Amarillo/Citra is just a banging brew. @Captain 3 Droids you should be proud of yourself on this one it is just gold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Going to bottle this tomorrow have hopped it again with the 25/15 mix. Must admit I did do this just with the Amarillo hops last time and it was still very nice but this combo is just the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 This is what I love about Brewart. I have 8 or 9 brews done in bottles and to be fair I love me a lager/pilsner, I'm an ale drinker but not at the same ratio as a lot of craft brewers...and that is cool. Tonight I had a near three week Neder to start off, then two long necks of Bohemian and then finish off with a longneck and a grolsch of this at 5 weeks. It allows me to position the beers in the right order to really appreciate the beauty of each one. If I was to buy the individual beers in their sizes, it'd be nasty, probs $40-50 tonight but I can keep this up for the next few weeks happily. BTW, 5 weeks in, this is drinking really well. Anyone brewing this has to go the Captains recipe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
