Now starting to weigh up whether I don't brew an English Draught and move things round to make a session ale, just means I will have an X3 left when I make an Irish Red Ale next order. Really going to have to double check I can do this, think I can. Maybe next time I don't do an order drunk and think about what I want I’d do the Session in lieu of the draught if ingredients allow, you need to compare against the tap version. I enjoyed the tap but this has a crispness about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to do i, at worst it means that I will have an X3 and a Y4 left over but I might use that to make my own type of ale next time but I must admit, I feel a lot happier about a Session ale, a Pale, a Czech and a Tommy boy instead of 2X Czech, English Draugh and 2X pale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, to change it round, I couldn't get to a session ale unless I turned 5 brews into 3, so I was happy with Pale Ale, Birra and Monsch. Will just order one next time, that and Irish Red are on the next order 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 With this Coopers Session Ale rather than just 20g of galaxy I dry hopped with 18g of galaxy and 12g of Amarillo. Boy at nearly four weeks this has a powerful but lovely fruit/passion fruit after taste with a nice bitter finish. Will leave for another week or so if I can 🤭🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised, don't really care. It's still the same beer that you said was perfect but then changed the hops variety in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Taste buds have been activated, in the droid and will dry hop 15g Amarillo and 20g Galaxy probably at day 7. This hop combination is slightly preferable to just Galaxy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check oz and usa site. Is a coopers brand. Just finished the pacific pale ale and bottled 27/01/20. Will leave 4, 2 weeks. Cleaned beerdroid same day and used starsan, this stuff is amazing! Just started mountain range ipa and I done this as a custom, propagate 24dc, ferment 19dc, keg 18dc, no dry hop yet, cold crash 4dc. The propagating went ballistic and started to overflow slightly which I am happy to see. Tells me yeast is good so therefore the beer should ferment rather quickly. Just an update atm. Will try 1st batch of pacific pale ale this weekend, then try 2nd batch next weekend. All the best lads and keep up the replies. How’s the brewing going? Pacific Ale turn out ok?

Rob Courtney Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Dry hopped, only had 22 gms of Galaxy so left it at that...as I dropped the steel ball in I thought "could have put 5gms of Amarillo in to top it up". Might even wait until it gets to storage and then throw another steel ball with 10 of Amarillo in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great beer Good to see you enjoying some ales. For a true pub ale (imo) I like you to try the English Pub Draught, it’s a simple recipe (no hop additions), very cost effective ( 2 x E5, X1, X 3, Y4) - fermentation 6 to 7 days) and something I drink every day if on tap in a pub. So if you haven’t got the ingredients, next order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I was put off brewing this after having a few cans of it at our local fringe festival. I mean it was alright ( the choice was this or Corona...so the choice was easy) but I didn't think much of it. This print though with a Galaxy/Amarillo hops mix...already regretting not ordering more than one of these for the new order 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Sadly the last of the stubbies of this...if I didn't have a bunch of longnecks, I'd be upset. Seriously, this with a bit of Galaxy and Amarillo hops, a top beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yes the two hops are a good match. I did a 25g Galaxy and 15g Amarillo which turned out very moorish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
