Hello Everyone,
I'm currently working on my second brew. My first brew was a Coopers Draught and thats currently at 2 weeks in the bottle. I tried a bit of the Coopers on Bottling day. Wasn't bad, wasn't great either. I tried a bottle of the coopers after 1 week, and it definitely tasted young (Green Apples). But wasn't that bad either. So for the coopers, I'll say it was ok . . .
Now last night I went to add some fruit to my Festa brew wheat beer. I racked 1 gallon onto some strawberries, and then opened the fermenter and threw in some home made orange extract I made from the Zest of 2 oranges mixed in with some vodka and water.
Before I threw in the extract I took a sample of the Festa Brew to try. and WOW that is one tasty brew. compared to the sample of Coopers I tasted the Festa brew is sooooooo much better!!!
I was almost afraid to add the orange extract in fear of screwing it up, it was soooo good. But I threw it in anyway, I can always make another one if it doesn't turn out.
GOOOOOO FESTA BREW!!
