The Tasting!

After just under 3 weeks in the bottle time for a taste.

The good news is that it is quite drinkable. Not as sweet as I'd though it would be but the honey is there however it doesn't over power the palate.

Could do with a bit more bottle time but I reckon it will be a nice, drinkable beer. A ...

Well, it has been bottled. Had a quick taste while bottling and seemed ok. Not an overtly strong honey taste.

Now to wait to see what happens after a few weeks in the bottles.

Finally got to brewing this (the end of the hot weather has got me excited about brewing again - and a soon to be brew fridge).

No technique, just the can, honey, coopers yeast and vanilla bean into the fermenter along with appropriate amount of hot and cold water. OG was 1034 and fermentation ...

I like your recipe timmy as I have some BE2 and malt doing nothing at the moment. However the spirit of adventure does call so I might as well try both.

I'll let y'all know what happens.

Over dinner in Canberra last night I was told of this recipe:

1 Coopers Canadian Blonde

1.5 kg Honey

1 cracked vanilla bean

Supposed to be a Beez Neez clone (I've never tasted the real stuff). Anyone tried a similar recipe? I'm intrigued to try it just for the hell of ...

I've never had any bubbling with my two brews so far. What I did notice was that the water in the airlock was pushed to one side but that lasted a day on the second brew and then nothing. I relied on daily SG readings and showed fermentation was happening.

So I don't worry anymore as long as the ...

Thanks for the tips. The storage temp is whatever the garage is. It has concrete floors and doesn't get to bad on the warmer days (I'm on the NSW Central Coast).

I'm ready to bottle again tomorrow (rainy, cool day forecast) so will pop down to the local homebrew place for some dextrose and try ...

Possible Carbonation Issue With First Home Brew

Hi everyone. First time poster.

After almost 3 weeks after bottling I've gone to sample a few bottles. The good news is that it tastes and looks like beer. Except for the fact that it seems that priming failed. The beer seems flat. There is bit of a head poured from the bottle that soon disappears ...
