Interesting addition of shnapps :hmm:

It's the only way I could figure to get the peach flavour to come through so strongly

I opened a peach yoghurt at work the other day and the smell made me think American C hops.

 

[ryanshelton]

Mmm interesting Dennis. You have given me an idea lol

A peach essence, like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120950029620?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 gives a good approximation of golden glory. It definitely can't be achieved with hops alone.

brewuk do a extract kit for this ,ive just finised drinking mine , spot on drink, more like golden glory than golden glory itself!

Interesting website. I see they also do Proper Job. I live abroad and popped back to the UK for a week last month (family party) and had a bottle of Proper Job and it was definitely the most flavoursome beer I had all week and I had quite a few. :whistle:
I also really like Golden Glory too.

Might be worth investing in one or two of their extract kits.

I've had a go at this myself.

I added a small bottle of Peach Schnapps essence. The beer turned out well enough but the peach didn't come through at all
I'm wondering if these are all very similar or if one particular brand is more potent than the others?

Cheers Tom

How much was a small bottle? I added a tiny drop to a glass of beer last week and it was wayyyy to strong

 

[soupdragon]

It was a 20ml bottle in a 23l brew. Cost about £2 about a year or so ago

Cheers Tom

 

[ryanshelton]

Mmm.mines a 25ml bottle in a 23l brew. When did u add it?

 

[Wezzel]

I have brewed this a couple of times. The first time I added a 20ml bottle of peach schnapps essence when kegging and it was lovely but a tad too peachy.

The second time I did the same but only added about two thirds of the bottle and it was spot on.

While kegging.

Might try a different brand and give it another go :-)

Quick update on this. Only bottled it last Friday but had to have a sample bottle for 'trial' purposes

Obviously being so young carbonation is a issue but putting that aside itll be a lovely brew. Nice peachy aroma and lovely peach taste thats not to strong.

Ive put 10L into a polypin so will bring it to TST14 :

Might be an interesting challenge. hahaha

:grin:
