Hurricane Alex Rain Water Beer, finally the taste testing! Also on tap Coopers Selection Wheat Beer canned kit beer taste testing.

After getting a fresh Coopers English Bitter kit from makebeer.net and it turned out fine, but tasting it in tandem with commercially bottled Coopers revealed I simply do not like the Pride of Ringwood hops that Coopers uses, I now needed to test a Coopers kit from my local brewshop. I’d made Coopers kits purchased from my local brewshop some time ago and they turned out poorly. Ruling out the hop bittering, was it my fermentation temperatures or was I getting damaged kits (shipped or stored to hot making them go bad before their expiration date) from my local brewshop? We finally find out in this video.

The bottom line in all homebrew beer making is if you, your family & friends like it, you’ve made a successful beer. Anyone who tells you differently isn’t, uh, well, honestly, isn’t anything.

Cheers, have a homebrew!

Please take the time to give me a thumbs-up on this video, and thank you very much for watching.

If you think making all grain home brew beer is hard, this video is for you.

Don’t let anyone scare you away from making your own all grain homebrew!! It doesn’t have to be hard, it can be really really easy!!!

Made this brew on June 17, 2010. From Midwest Homebrew and Winemaking Supplies, this is their Autumn Amber Ale. Cost $19.00 US

Grains:
9lbs domestic 2-row
2oz Special B
8oz Caramel 80L
2oz Roasted Barley

Note: I specified on my order that they should crush the grain for me. Make sure you do this if you want it to come to you already crushed.

Hops:
1oz Hallertau at the beginning of boil, so at 60 minutes
1oz Fuggle at 2 minutes

Muntons dry yeast

Also used Whirlfloc tablet for clarifying.

The fella who made my brew kettle put me onto this “brew in a bag” method. As you can see, it’s a really fun way to brew. Thanks Dan!

If you’re interested in getting one of these, Dan makes and sells these on ebay, his user name there is dapurse31, or just search ebay for 10 Gallon Mash Tun Brew Kettle New. I’m really pleased with mine.

Update — Dan just sent me a metal mesh insert that will keep my biab bag from touching the bottom, will try that next brew — Thanks Dan!

I dry hopped the beer about 6 days after fermentation began.
