Black Rock Dry Lager by snags @ 16, Apr 2008
Just an update on the last review posted. Its now been three months in the bottle and it is getting there. I had one the other day and it tasted like a beer, so hopefully sooner rather than later it will be a good drop. All in all, give it time!

Coopers Australian Pale Ale by snags @ 10, Apr 2008
its been 6 weeks - the brew with kit, BE2 and recultured coopers yeast - very drinkable now, a lighter version of CPA - needs probably another few weeks to be a great drop, but is very promising. Not exactly malty like the real thing, would need a 1.5kg coopers LME to get close to emulating the original, and maybe 12g PoR. This kit needs time but thanks to the cultured coopers yeast its got a great taste to it.

Brewed two batches. The first was kit, BE2 and rehydrated CPA from 3 stubbies - brewed around 20*. After 20odd days it had alright carbonation, poor head retention, lacked bitterness, and was a little sweet. Hopefully it will improve after another couple of months The second batch was kit, 1kg light dry malt extract, 12.5g PoR (bitterness) and rehydated CPA yeast. Tastes much better. Actually tastes a little like the real thing, hopefully will only get better.

Morgans Blue Mountain Lager by snags @ 18, Feb 2008
Brewed using kit, 1kg LDME, 25g Hallertau MF and Saflager. After two weeks it was ok, but still fairly immature. 6 weeks later its improved out of sight, but still needs another month or so. Great drop, good can for experimenting

Ingredients were kit, 1kg LDME, 25g Liberty, Dry enzyme supplied and Saflager. Brewed around 20*C, which was dissapointing but couldnt do anything about it. PF for 2 weeks, racked for another week, then bulk primed. After two weeks in the bottle it tasted like dog poo, 2 Months later it wasnt much better. Will leave for about 5 months and hopefully it improves. Probably would do again but make sure it was brewed colder and had mores more flavour and aroma hops... (saaz, hallertau MF etc)

Coopers Traditional Draught by snags @ 18, Feb 2008
Brewed with 1.5Kg Wheat malt, 12g chinook and 25g cascade (dry) using Safale in hope of a LCPA clone. Tasted alright two weeks after bottling, and two months later is not a bad beer, just needs a month or two to mature and its hoppiness to mellow.
