Home brew success at last!

[redskinweasel]

Hey, Just really wanted to say thanks to everyone who has given me advice and helped me out over the last few weeks with my second attempt at home brewing.

I am pleased to say that I have just had a glass of the Coopers bitter tonight and it tastes bloody good TBH!

I first tried it on Friday after it had been conditioning for about 8 days and it had a funny twang to it, so I thought I might have infected the batch when I tried to fix the keg tap. Anyway, I just left it alone til tonight and the difference is unreal. No twang at all (I guess that was the green flavour I've heard people talking about)......just well-balanced malty flavours now!


Here's a pic anyway, clear as a bell, good head retention and very very drinkable!




On to the next on then......


Cheers again

See ....?

Nice one, mate. Now Enjoy ~ as the next one goes in and ye consider adding a second keg to ye collection!

[redskinweasel]

Yeah, thinkin bout another keg already mate (how'd u know?). I figure I'm gonna need one sooner rather than later as 40pints really isn't gonna last long

I'm getting the urge to stock pile as much beer as possible!

Reckon I'm gonna do a coopers dark ale with coopers dark lme next b4 havin a go at your ditch's stout recipe.


Cheers
