Captain 3 Droids Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Can’t find a reference on here, has anyone done it before and if so comment? Kegged it today into a maturing keg after a 7 day fermentation. Will leave this one for a while (is 2 weeks “a while”🤔😂) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I did one a while back, it was nice without standing out but it would have been done with hop pouches. I guess I was doing this around the time of cold crashing for 4 days and leaving the hop oils in for 5 days. It just didn't have it for me but to be fair, I did all the things to it I'd never do now, so it may be worth trying again, dry hopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not a liquid hop pouch fan, but have 2 of each in the fridge in case I run out of pellets or forget to add prior to keg mode status). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted July 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Cracked this one yesterday after 7+ weeks maturing. I must say an excellent drop, bitter/sweet finish well supported by the Czech Saaz hops. From Rob’s comments I’d say the hop pellets made a difference to using the liquid hop sachets.

Probably 2 litres left as at Friday night, so good put it in the Droid today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Man i cannot wait until the 1st of August to crack into my kegs. This looks like a good drop. I think some pilsners might be worth cracking into for the upcoming summer months. Might have to think ahead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Yeah, I'm not drinking until I get back home (hopefully Friday), so as soon as I get in the door, a few bottles in the freezer and by time I unpack, a nice selection of brews will have reached temp...and if they haven't...I'm still having one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 At 8 weeks and absolutely delicious. Will be a great summer drink or a Port Hedland @Paul84anytime drink. In front of the Crows Cap is a rock cat, have to talk to it when swmbo is reading. I once said I got more sense but that’s another story😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Will order one of these next order now I am coming down in stock. The crap thing is, if I get one each of my favs and a few others to try I'm probably hitting 15-20 prints in an order 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 I still have a couple of brews at home to do after my holiday then i will have to do another order so will grab one of these. Also want to do the Czech Pils . However enjoying shop beers in cans for the next few weeks lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Going to bottle this one today in between painting (yay) . I have hopped this with equal measure Saaz, Hallertau and Spalt in an attempt to get somehere near a version of Trumer Pils. Must admit, I do like when beers you like have the hop profile up on the website...like it better if they had the percentages but yeah. Had a quick sample from the droid and it looks like it is in the right drirection so be very interested in the first stubby at 4 weeks to see where it is at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Thank christ for this forum, going to try one of these in a minute and was thinking "jeez, how did I hop this one" because, like writing it down in a journal would be far to complex for this guy. At least I air my thoughts here so I can review at a later date...and I'm actually really looking forward to it, 3 and a bit weeks in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 23 days in...like the hop profile a lot in this one not far off a Trumer Pils, think I'd need to get a stubby to compare for sure but it is pretty good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 6 weeks in and after a day of putting out spotfires resulting from shit jobs others have done...I decided a beer was in order. Gosh that is a very nice drop, like really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 So tis is my beer for the weekend, 8.5 weeks secondary...it's a very nice beer. I mean I could muck around with the hops in different ways but it's really hitting a good stride. Has a bit of fruit from the hops (lemon) but the bitterness and soft malt but on a humid, hot summers night I may not have many left for tomorrow.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 5 weeks and just delightful, the Saaz hops give a real boost. Did 25g pellets and one H4 in the keg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 3 hours ago, Rob Courtney said: So, I buggered this one up, unlike me...and ended up with a pale ale ( without the Ale yeast) and I think I just chucked in 30grams of Hallertau because I work on the principle of if its buggered just do everything different. It is a very bitter beer, very bitter...it may ask to talk to the manager soon. This would be a great beer, middle of summer hot day been working in the yard. I think it needs something but that something may well be hot weather. Sounds like you’ll have to name it “The Karen”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Still have a few bottles of this one to go, after last week, wasn't especially looking forward to them but...kind of mellowed. Have them in the Stella glass ( not sure what I had them in last week) but drinks to a decent taste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I buggered up the elements, not sure Saaz would have been too different, just needed something more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Dry hopped this tonight with 10gms each of Hersbrucker, Perle and Tettanger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Bottling this tomorrow. After a very short 8 day fermentation for a Lager. What's best drinking on this 4 to 6 weeks, or longer. Have hopped with 4x H4 liquid pouches. As didn't have any suitable DH's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
