My Brew Old - Superb

Post by **Oliver** » Thursday Nov 04, 2004 7:59 pm

Guys,

I cracked one of my No.49 My Brew Olds last night. It's been in the bottle just over three months.

It was absolutely superb. Good taste, nice carbonation, and a lovely malty, chocolatey taste.

I can highly recommend it. The ingredients were:
1 can My Brew Old
1kg light dried malt
1 sachet Saflager yeast (it was the middle of winter, so I used a lager yeast instead of the yeast that came with it so I didn't have to worry about heating.

I'd go so far as to say it was in my top five homebrews ever. And so simple.

Cheers,

Oliver

It is batches like this that keep me as a humble Kit & Adjunct brewer - it is just soooo easy to come up with really good beers.

Dead simple, top shelf brews.

Cheers,

Greg.

Come on fellers , where can I get this ' MY OLD BREW' ?
who makes it , I live in W.A and the local brew shop do'nt know
of it . though to be fair they have only just got into the business.
If I knew the manufacturer they may be able to track it down ?.

Where to get My Brew ... That's a mighty fine question.

I did a Google search, which came up with http://www.mybrew.com.au/. However, the link appears to be dead, so I can offer nothing further.

not even where you purchased?

I bought it out at Narre Brew Supplies, which is near Dandenong in Melbourne. I happened to be out that way working so bought some supplies. Next time I go to my local HB store (Australian Home Brewing/Liquorcraft), I'll ask about it, although I note that it's not a brand that's in their online store.

I've emailed them, too, and will let you know the reply.

Cheers,

Oliver

It's now 12 days since I contacted Liquorcraft (http://www.liquorcraft.com.au) and I haven't heard a thing back about whether they stock My Brew lines.

Fancy pants website, but pretty ordinary service if you ask me.

Oliver I don;t think Aust Home Brewing stock it. I was in Heidlelkberg the other day and don't recall seeing it. They don't even strock Coopers, only mostly "Premium" brands. I think I have seen it at Greensborough but haven't been there for a while, so i am not sure.
