Captain 3 Droids Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Has anyone tried the Great Northern Lager? If so your opinion. Would you try and clone it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Yep, it's OK, Id prefer it to Carlton Dry, the mid strength version is probably one of the better mids I have tried. I first tried it in QLD with my Brother in Law at one of those leagues clubs ( should be some of these in SA) it was the day before his wedding, we had spent all day at the Go Kart track, come back there and Imperial Pints for $4. Not sure it is worth cloning but 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percy Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Personally not a fan, I would not even consider it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Well speaking of coincidences, lad came round with a 6 pack of the Great Northern , low bitterness “Super Crisp” 3.5% cans. Better than water?? Very watery imo, but in fairness sitting outside in our regular heatwaves this could be the go, icy cold though. I know some that love it, perhaps, no we droid brews are spoilt.

I think it is an indictment on brews these days that people will say "well it isn't as bad as..." and not name 1 but maybe 15 brews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a Rob, doubt I’ll do that one as Northern no really my cup of tea although having said may be ok in a heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 It is a nice pale ale . Hoppy but not too bitter 🙂 . Amarillo hops used so a good pathway to follow 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they are used up it will be brewart ingredients for nearly every brew, may do a can special every now and again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Well I just unpacked my big box of ingredients that arrived yesterday. Looking forward to putting a brew on... this afternoon maybe 😄 . Only hard thing is once I am back to work on days i wont have time to keg/bottle until shift change. So will just have to sit in storage . Do you cold crash often Mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However note when the brew goes to keg you have 48hrs before it goes to storage. When it goes to storage you can manually put it back to keg mode and it will stay there. However if you miss out due to work and it does chill down to the 4C no harm done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres an attempt, will make a good ale in any event. 2 x E1, 1 x E5, 1 x X1, 1 x X3, 1 x H1 to be added at start, in water before the yeast etc. At end of fermentation 1 x H3, 1 x H5. Y1 yeast Ale mode on droid. If you do it I’ll be interested in your review and comparison. Note. If not to your liking then “I know nothing...” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
