St Peters Ruby Red taste awesome !

[alchy]

I just made some of this.

2 weeks in primary
2 weeks in secondary.
10 days ageing

Its good already! I checked the pressure lots of foam all good and it tastes superb. First time after 10 days a brew has been so drinkable as this. I am tempted but it will stay there for another 5 weeks before I start drinking it:)

I also made some woodfordes wherry tastes very weak and watery at the moment I think this one needs some time:) Also very fizzy tastes like 4.5% asti spumante:)

Happy Brewing

Regards David

Did you use dextrose or malt extract with the St Peters?

Its a 2 can kit, so no need for anything else, other than water of course!

just a quicky, did you put the hop powder in?

This is the second beer I made since restarting the hobby. It tastes amazing, though it took a while 'to come round' - it tasted quite green for a while. Yes I used the whole hop sachet AND dry hopped (20g goldings), so that might be why it took so long (4+ weeks in the bottle).

Oh - I put it on in late September, by which time the temp where I brew had dropped to well below 20°C. It was made it with bottled water, hence the finish is pure hops - no weird chlor-amine taste.

@millemg
You mentioned hops adding hops to the Wherry...
- which hops?
- is it a bit dull without?
- at 0 mins, or earlier?

Edit: Just seen other thread, 25g chinook hops @ pitch minus 30 mins, plus 25g chinook @ 7 days (brew for 14 plus days).

This is certainly a cracking kit brew, now that it's been bottled for 3 months.

I brewed mine to 23L with 20g of Goldings hops boiled for 10mins, no hop sachet and Safale s-04 yeast.

It has an almost festive flavour to it and even Mrs Monkeybrew gave it the thumbs up last night

Hi yes just drinking some now my first half pint after 2 weeks in conditioning. Yes I did use the hop sachet that came with it. I find it a very nice brew. A little bitter but that will calm down after another 3 weeks of conditioning. My first wherry was a tad bitter then after 6 weeks it was nearly gone. I highly recommend this one for a session casual beer so get it on!

Go easy on the priming and the hop powder with this one: my first one was too bitter and too fizzy. A little of both goes a long way.

Haha, what do you think?

This was the last kit I made and I agree that it tastes superb, I think mine have been in the bottles for a couple of months now and they are just getting better and better. Will definately make this again.
