Dustin Frothman Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Day 3 and no spewing. Much belching however. My wife is from Aberdeen where Brewdog began. She neither spews nor belches. Them Scots have guts of steel. 🤪 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Kegged tonight on Day 9. Worked a late shift today and had everything ready to go; just needed to sanitise and fill the keg. Cleanup will be in the morning and another Coopers Pale Ale or XPA in to replace it before I head off to work again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Taster bottle at 30 days. It's great but it's been so long since I had the original I can't recall what it should taste like. The hops mix is nice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Drinking the keg of this one now another 69 (giggity) days later. The colour is slightly darker and the hops aroma is still very prominent. Overall it's much more balanced. A great IPA. I'd need to go and buy a can of the original to be able to make any sort of useful comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about to bottle again the Coopers Australian IPA with 50g of Vic Secret and Eclipse this time. Doing an Australian Brewery All star session IPA next using 25g of Cenntinal, Chinook, Amarillo and Mosaic.

Great start I’d say. With your hops (good selection) I’d do 20g ea as 80g is about the limit for dry hop 10l and the additional 5g ea would be wasted imo.

Hey @Robert Pretty I think the Sierra Nevada is still my favourite with probably The Coopers Australian IPA in second and Pirate Life third. It's a drier and less sweet take on an IPA which is how I recall the original. The hops mix is pretty unique and I'd say that's the Nelson standing out. It's one of those hop varieties that has quite a distinctive aroma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the Pirate on the next order. Haven't done it for a while. Really enjoying the Cricketers Arms Pale 25g of Nelson Sauvin and Amarillo. Favorite hop combo at the moment is 25g Citra, Amarillo and Cenntinal, done it with the Jolly Roger base, and now the Coopers XPA base, next will be the west coast base. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I was referring to the Nelson that is in the Brewdog Punk IPA clone. Edited April 1, 2022 by Dustin Frothman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Getting close to the end of this keg and it’s still drinking really nicely. Meanwhile the new family member is learning not to knock over beer glasses whilst going ballistic in the lounge room. 😑 Edited May 14, 2022 by Dustin Frothman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
