    Dark Rock Riwaka Pale Ale

    I used the yeast that came with the kit and brewed at a controlled 22c for 10 days and dry hopped the last two, oddly the SG was only 1038, it should have been around 1050 according to the kit instructions. I'll put this down to a failed brew and move on. I have a Get Er Brewed foundation kit next.

    Dark Rock Riwaka Pale Ale

    Recently brewed the DR Riwaka PA and noticed a slight banana/pear drop tinge to it, if anyone has also done this one did you get the same result? It's still drinkable but not to my taste preference.

    Giving up on homebrewing due to health

    Thanks again, I've just made an American IPA sg 1050 and just tasted after 2 weeks conditioning, it's not ready yet so that all makes sense.

    What are you drinking tonight 2022?

    this is my first kit brew using brew enhancer and temperature controlled brew fridge plus strabright finings, a step up from my first attempts which were brewed on the kitchen worktop, it's still a bit young and needs a couple more weeks of maturation, I'm just impatient as my wife keeps...

    Beer over ice again sorry, it's a personal thing, goes nice with a couple of chilli burgers, who remembers the summer of 1976 if only we had these beers then
