Rob Courtney Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Last one of the night. Just finished watching Mortal Kombat...my advice would be that you won't miss anything if you don't. Onto the beer though, not too shabby, not at all, still 6 weeks in so more time to improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 8 weeks in now and damn, just damn, Galaxy and Ella is a bloody good mix for this brewprint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 This is what I like about brewing my own beer, having a few different beers on a Friday night, working them to a schedule where they compliment one another. The desert beer, if you will, a Sessions Ale at 9ish, maybe 10 weeks, drinking very well 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really impressed with just how fragrant and flavoursome this beer is for 4.2% alcohol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said in another thread, many thanks to the people on here for advice and tips for all droid related matters. As for the beer.... Only had after 2 and a bit weeks secondary in the bottle so not expecting great things yet. Very happy though with colour, head, aroma but the taste is still a bit wanting, not much of a back end Tatar and a bit lager-y at the moment for my liking. I note lots of other suggestions have made a point of holding off until at least 4 weeks. One of the FB groups also recommend adding a few other hops in. What's everyone's thoughts on additions? Best advice and results I’ve gotten was to get more droids and let them sit. Look at those secondary times. Now everything I pour is just really good. 8 weeks minimum for the bigger beers. I DO agree though on the pacific. There was something lacking. It sure if it was no bitter finish or mouthfeel. Couldn’t put my finger on it. Definately wasn’t Tatar ! 🤭 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 If I am going to hop this with Melba and Galaxy...what ratio would you go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 So, basically a year after the advice one post above, I have put this brew on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 30 g galaxy, 20 Melba in. As a staple when I go out to a pub, this is my drink of choice because (1) it is on tap and (2) it isn't Great Northern or Carlton Cold. Rarely where I live would I see XPA on tap but if I did... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Bottled tonight, hops smelt very nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 So it 3 weeks in, had to try one. Still needs to do a bit of improving but that is pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 8 weeks in, this is very close to the original now a really nice drink with a couple of Bah Mi for dinner 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 It smells really nice it drinks even better, that is bang on as a copy of the drink now. I've had some nice beers tonight and this still stands out. I know I am a fair old Lager drinker and i have gone through most of the ales but this and the XPA might be the ones I stick with on the "dark side" as regulars through the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Close to three months in, 30gms of Galaxy, 20 of Melba. That is one damn fine beer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
