Malt Shovel Pale Ale
by Nudge @ 21, Feb 2005

 4/5

Took 2 weeks to finish fermenting, bottled and consumed after 3 weeks. Nothing to rave about, very little head, lightly carbonated. Had a 44 degree day where one bottle exploded in my shed with an almighty bang. Thought my beer might be off, chilled and drank. Turns out it's one of the best ones I have done so far. Maybe it needed the ultra heat treatment. Doesn't have that distinct homebrew aftertaste, very nice, improving with age.
 
Coopers Bitter

 3/5

I have to agree that this is not a true bitter, resembles more a dark ale. Not entirely bad however. Actually not too bad at all. Quite drinkable... May try it again with Pride of Ringwood hops to give it a bit of bite.
 
Muntons Wheat Beer
by Nudge @ 08, Feb 2005

 3/5

Very fizzy beer with great head retention. However, it might have something to do with the Pride of Ringwood hops I added to the wort or the Brew Booster ? The result is a very nice beer, but with very little to no wheat flavour. Maybe the hops was too strong for this style of beer. Still, very happy with it.
 
Black Rock Bock
by Nudge @ 08, Feb 2005

 4/5

Absolutely marvellous drop ! I didn't do anything special, used a Brew Booster and let it ferment at room temp. It was brewed in the heat of a hot Aussie Summer in my bathroom/brew station, so it stayed at roughly 28 celcius. It's the best brew I have made to date, and will not have any hesitation in recommending it to anyone. Will do it again maybe in the cooler time of year to see if the flavour changes with temp. The only problem is that it does not have a great deal of head retention.
