Captain 3 Droids Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Put this in the Droid 3/9/19 and kegged seven days later. As per Brewprint review - “Lovely pure white head. Nice and crisp with a citrusy background to the taste. Finishing with a bitterness that’s held up by the sweetness of malt. Another for the repeat queue - (are two droids enough?🤔)” Don’t wait for summer. Edited October 9, 2019 by Barrelboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Haynes Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 My ingredients for Golden Days of Summer Ale brewprint should hopefully be arriving today (got the SMS to say expect a delivery from Coopers Online Store today - always a great message to receive! 😇 ). The spreadsheet that's been floating around recommends an amarillo dry hop of 50g's (!!!) and appears to be in addition to the 2x H6's that form part of the recipe... It's pushed it's way up my queue as I have 100g's of amarillo hops just sitting in my fridge doing nothing... keen to crack em open and start experimenting!

I’d say the the Amarillo is in lieu of the the H6 as both would be over the top for 10l imo. Personally for a first time a I’d brew to the recipe. If I were to add Amarillo then 20g would be enough with the H6. Edited December 24, 2019 by Barrelboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Put this one down again on 24/12/19 and kegged today (first one for new year). Really enjoyed this drop last time, good for the hot weather.🌅🏝🏖☀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottled my Russian Imperial Stout last night and decided to continue my roll and started the Big Brown Imperial Ale instead. New plan is to do this one then the Coopers Old Special Stout and then do my best to mature them to June 2020. After those, next 'drinking' brew will be GDSA 😎 Edited December 31, 2019 by Darran Haynes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tempted to drink one haha. But I am.same as you i think its going to better with a longer conditioning. Would not mind brewing this either, sounds like a tasty brew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently on day 5 in the droid and just dry hopped the 50g Amarillo. Knew I'd get there eventually lol. Ended up slowing down on my beer drinking (forayed into Single Malt Whisky's for a bit, I hate to mix and match so whatever I drink first for the evening I'll end up sticking with) and subsequently ran out of brew bottles. Last brew was English Pub Draught bottled 24/2 then gave the droid a big clean and a 6 week break. Have started enjoying a daily brew or 2 again as of late and have freed up enough bottles for a new batch. Sanitised ol' droidy last week and got cracking on the GDAS. Great to have it humming again in the kitchen and using the light to check on the brew 😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Nice one mate , yeah sometimes good to have a little break . My stockpile started growing larger then a drink it in a timeframe amount so i gave mine a pause for a fortnight. And i am the same as you partial to a whisky or two , i usually save mine for night caps though , so a few beers early never hurts ;-). Id be broke if I just drank my whisky 🤣🤣🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain 3 Droids Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I’ve neglected this one for a while, however with so many top brews, how do you fit this one in. Well I’ve done one, it’s summer it’s just great, and at only nearly at 4 weeks. To young you might say, depends on carbonation methods and personal taste, so I’ll carry on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dial-IN Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, just wondering how you guys went with the hops on this one. The new dry hopped version of the brewprint has 25g of Amarillo, but I can see others here using 50g before this version was released.... What's been everyone's experience here? Was also thinking of throwing in some Citra for good measure, maybe a 30/20 split. Edited August 29, 2021 by Dial-IN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
