Should be called
'Cascade wanky Ghost sulphury vinegar'
or something ?


hehe

I Brewed a spicy ghost on AFL Grand Final day & it's quite a reasonable drop.
At first it wasn't much chop, but now a few months later..., in this weather, it's not a bad thirst quencher.

Just done the 12-month review of mine. Sadly, I still have four stubbies left.
I concur with 501's conclusion.

So give this one a miss guys?

i've still got my tin, i'm not going to write it off until i try it with some honey and some crystal.
maybe a lager yeast at temp.
it can't be that bad that it can't be improved with a bit of extra work.....can it ?

i'm prepared to eat my words here.....

me and my big mouth
yard

Yardy don't eat your words untill they are yours!!Try your version as It might be the necter of the gods but we won't know unless you try!Go Yardy..GoYardy..Go

Tyrone, Its not watery, has good body and head. I brewed with malt and corn syrup but had no hops handy so didnt use any. Hops would truly help this crap out. I agree with the others, it has a terrible chemical taste. I'll let them sit for another 6 months and see how they go.

chemical tast eh?Bugger it water the weeds with it and try something else!I'll not be brewing this one!

*Update*

Well....last night I opened a cascade spicey ghost draught and to my surprise, it has finally matured into a nice beer.

I say finally because its taken like 5 months to get there (nearly tipped it down the sink a couple of times)

I have had samples along the way and was dissapointed with the chemically taste that others have mentioned.....until now.

While I now have another nice beer to drink I won't be buying it again in a hurry, the coopers draught I have of the same age is a much, much nicer.

I agree with 501 ,,,,, it's crap. The problem i have is , i purchased 5-6 kits on special at coles $10.25 each , nnnnnnnooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thumbs up for Cascade range is there marketing........

I have a few in the fridge after a 6 months they're not bad. Not great, but drinable. Still a bit chemical tasting - though the guy at cascade said it had a mild infection after I sent it in.

I still have a tin from when they sent it to me and will have another go with a recipe they suggested.

But generaly, wating 6 months for a beer isn't too flash.

Amazingly all of the "brewers" who've given feedback on the Cascade website have very positive things to say.

Especially like this one: "Just to let you know I cracked open a bottle of the Spicy Ghost over the weekend. It has only been in the bottles for 3 weeks yet tasted awesome"

It's like when when you cheat on an exam (or so I've heard) - make sure you have the odd dud answer so it looks genuine.

Hi Guys,
Have brewed all the Cascade range.They must use a lager yeast or something similar because Ive brewed them at 6 Degrees and it still bubbles ! ! It takes about 3 week or so to ferment.I dont drink them until there at least 3 months old.

it's not so crap , well my second go at this brew and it's great, tho it did take 18 days to reach the Cascade SG.

I did the Spicy Ghost and it is easily the worst brew I have done, just not a nice taste and a foul smell, I still have 30 stubbies sitting in the garage, I will leave them there until after winter, crack one and see how it is then

I have done a couple of the other Cascade range, the Imperial Pale Ale with a brewcraft Pale Ale blend and it has turned out quite nice at about 3-4 months in the bottle

and I just bottled the Cascade Mohogany Porter, looking forward to tasting that one in a month or so

but I will not do the Spicy Ghost again
