Please don't hate on me too much for my choice of toys. My all grain brew day went quite well and the Droid is now doing its bit.
SIERRA NEVADA PALE ALE CLONE BEERSMITH SOFTWARE
"Home Brew" still has a few connotations and scares off some types so I do get that side of are other online retailers and homebrew stores that will make up 10L all grain recipes for you, and there is software like Brewfather and Beersmith that can scale recipes down from 20 to 10L to suit the Droid should you wish.Īnyway, enough from me. I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about marketing so perhaps it's just that they want to keep the two lines very separate and stick to the original idea that the Brewart range was simple, ultra high quality beer with minimal effort. Yes you can use our wonderful Aussie invention the 'no chill' method with a plastic cube but for hoppier beer styles it has some significant drawbacks.Īs to suggestion, I tend to agree - there's an opportunity here for Coopers to have some crossover between their DIY Beer range and Brewart product line because those partial grain kits are available under the other branding and surely it wouldn't be a huge jump for them to package up Brewart grain kits too. I couldn't agree more that 10L of wort is the same amount of work as 20 or 50 but the two issues I kept getting stuck on were gear size footprint and the requirement to cool a large volume of hot wort easily. I've always thought I'd like to own a little bar/pub in retirement and offer some house made craft beers and coffee (I'm a coffee geek too) and so I am trying to learn as much as I can about both processes in anticipation of this. My job requires fairly intense concentration (last night was certainly one out of the box!) and I'm often brain dead at the end of a shift so I like the contrast that brewing provides. I find the process of making beer (all of it, even cleaning!) really relaxing and a good excuse not to think too much for a few hours. It'll be great to have all of these tools at my disposal and to be able to pick which one to use depending on how much time is available.
It's so simple and the results speak for themselves. I also love adding to the Brewart range by steeping some grains and playing with Coopers extract tins etc. I love making beer with Brewart ingredients and will continue to do so. I'm early 40's with no kids, very little family, a good job and often a lot of leisure time to be had when others are at work, so spending 5 hours making some wort from scratch is not a huge imposition on my life. But if you were a real adult with real responsibilities then perhaps it'd all be too much and you'd just want to drink some beer. I guess it depends on what you enjoy doing with your time. It's certainly a lot of work and I get it, some brewers eventually give up on all grain and go back to extract, partial mash etc. If you have 2 droids you can make up 20l all grain (really same effort as for 10l) and if you don’t want 20l of the same brew then then each 10l of wort can have different hops, different yeasts and/or addition of steeped malts. Good thought but tell just got out of that.
SIERRA NEVADA PALE ALE CLONE BEERSMITH ZIP
XL zip lock freezer bags and a rolling pin work well. Some photos from brew day will surely follow.įrom the look of the grains in the bags I think your going to wish you had purchased the grain “cracked”. It'll either be a great success or spectacular failure. The Pirate Life Pale Ale has quite a few hop additions and some water chemistry additions too. I enjoy the process almost as much as the drinking, so the more skills in the repertoire the better. I also have a few Coopers cans and like the idea of a Mr Beer kit too. The plan is to brew using BrewPrints when time poor or I just need excellent (or more) beer without the fuss, and all grain when time allows. I'll give the Pirate Life Pale Ale a go this weekend and the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale a try after Christmas when work hopefully settles down a little. I did like the look of the Coopers Ale Malt sacks they were selling. Like experimenting with some all grain brews and bought a couple of small batches of grain today from Beerbelly here in Radelaide who are just fantastic to deal with.
