coopers wheat beer

[AT]

Had a little taste of the wheat beer i bottled and it tasted very nice indeed

[AT]

had a right few pints and i'll say this stuff gets the thumbs up, i can't wait to see what it tastes like when i age it a bit. My first brew i'm addicted

[PieOPah]

Wheat Beers or Witbier should be drunk fairly young so you don't really want to be ageing it too much.

Also one thing to note is that it is normally server coudy. You may want to swirly up the last little bit in the bottle to get that sediment whilst pouring. If you don't like it like that then you can avoid the swirling next time

[AT]

thanks for that i didn't know, dam fine brew i'm well chuffed

[PieOPah]

I want to make a wheat beer, but I have so many different styles planned for the future that I just don't know where on the list I can put this. Now if I had the storage space I could make em all.

Will probably be a few months before I get around to making my wit

Just read the thread from the start and realized that you keg'd. Best not do any swirling them.

The MAIN thing is that you are enjoying the beer. Doesn't matter whether it is served to the style guidelines as long as it tastes good eh...

When I make beer, I very rarely make to a specific style anyway, I make it the way I think would taste nice.

i have a kit to make probably tomorrow if i get a chance Homebrews extra strong Irish ale ( anybody ever hear of it) after that i've no idea what to do next. Guess the only way i'll learn is to do a few and see what i like

[AT]

tried to get some wheat beer out of the keg without a tap or gas!! no really i drank a heap of heineken and it seemed a good idea to attach the beer line and the thingy that fits onto the corny. into a pint glass, not sure what happened but half a pint ended up on the ground and what i got in the glass looks like sediment. there seems to be serious pressure in the keg, think i'll leave it alone till i get the tap and gas

[AT]

just looked at the glass pure sediment

[AT]

oh the headache that is gas, BOC were kind enough to phone me back and say (not in as many words) that it's not company policy to supply idiots with the potential to blow them selves and they're homes up with gas :blink: !!! i'd imagine airproducts will be pretty much the same and nobody else will touch me without an account with them. He was kind enough to give me a number of a guy who supplies home bars but i expect he does the full bar kegs and all and probably wouldn't be interested in the few quid i'd be willing to pay for gas but i'll try. Any Irish brewers in the forum with any ideas i'd be grateful, if not i'll just have to buy a big straw

[AT]

yea i tried a few before i tried direct and they all said the same that's why i tried direct i already sent my local HB shop (70 miles away) an e-mail i'm just waiting for a response. Also i phoned some guy that supplies home bars and he wanted 30 euro a month rental plus delivery which he assured me wouldn't be more than 30 euro plus a refill charge and with every refill would be the delivery charge. I told him to stick it where the monkey put his nut if i don't get one soon i'm afraid some ppub in town will be serving flat beer. i was going to go off on a rant about this stupid cuntry but i'll spare you all. Thanks for all the help DAAB

DAAB is this any good?

well it had to happen i used the pressure generated by priming the corny and drank what i could which was about 6-7 pints and since i'm using the auto syphon to get at more of it. It's a cleaner kinda drunk, or is it just me? a dam fine tasting brew and very clear considering i didn't use finings. My question is how long now do i have before the brew is spoiled considering i have no possible way to save it only drinking it which i am fairly confident of doing unless it's less than 24 hours, if it's less then it's a challenge :blink: my local homebrew shop supplies co2 so i e-mailed him and told him about my problem. I explained my problem, i told him i'm dispensing my beer from a cornelius keg and i'm using a redditch regulator. I asked him would the co2 cannister somehow work with my system and he e- mailed back to say and i quote "Don't know, I've never heard of either! B."
If this is what i have to deal with then i may as well get used to the art of bottling

Airproducts Ireland just got back to me with their new supplier in my area with a quote for rental, looks very promising
