Topic	I'm making my own beer!
MrMallard 12/27/19 11:00:28 AM #5:	Guide posted... What brought this on? I was up at my nan and pop's house this Christmas, and their neighbour brought up some homebrewed beer. I've drank some shit homebrew in my time, mostly spirits, but the stuff he gave me was a really good ginger beer mixed with some bourbon. It tasted delicious, and he offered to grab me a regular beer he brewed up after that. The beer he gave me tasted like one of my favorite beers - Cooper's. But it honest to god tasted better than the Cooper's I buy via longneck. I told him this, and he told me that it was a premix solution from Cooper's that he made. He then basically extolled the power of homebrewing to me, with the most important part being that for $20 a batch, I could make 20+ longnecks of beer. I can't communicate well enough how delicious this beer was compared to the longnecks sold by that same brand - it was absolutely delicious. And that price point is unbeatable. Anyway - cut to the next day. I'm back home, and I've told my friends that I plan to get into homebrewing. We end up at my town's Wal-mart-esque store and we come across a homebrewing kit for $65. I was gonna leave it behind and grab it the next time I got paid - now that I think about it, I would have kept putting it off and putting it off until I didn't care any more. My friends told me that I should get it right then and there. I gave in, and I went home with $100 worth of brewing equipment. Basically, a great experience with some homebrew beer and some positive peer pressure are why I bought myself a brewing kit. Butterfiles posted... What's are ya gonna name it A part of me wants to incorporate MrMallard into it. Something like Mal's Malt or some shit like that - I need some time to workshop a good name based on MrMallard. But I also have a name lined up based on my real life nickname that I'm planning to name the first batch. Wii_Shaker posted... Which ingredients are you using and what type of beer are you brewing? Also is this your first time brewing? The ingredients are a Cooper's DIY beer brewing kit, which is just a bunch of gunk from a can mixed with 23 litres of water, and the beer is a Cooper's pale ale. This is indeed my first time brewing - I bought the equipment off the shelf at a local store, and I made up my first batch on a whim. I'm planning to make a really solid, tasty pale ale. I've had a tasty pale ale in my time - the darker the head, the fruitier and tastier the beer has been. But Cooper's pale ale has a very pale white head like any other beer on a bar's tap, which tends to be lager, and while I enjoy a good Cooper's, it simply doesn't compare to its contemporaries which have darker heads and more varied, robust flavors. --- Snap your fingers, I'll come running, and leave again when you're bored.
