This post is in reply to those members who share their home brew during
various Triumph get togethers during the year.
I have finally taken the plunge and brewed my own beer/ale.
In order to learn the "craft", I decided to buy a kit from a local
beer/wine supply store.
Since I always liked the British Bitters I had in England back in the
early 80's, I tried Coopers British Bitters.
Well I have to say it turned out pretty good.
It is a bit darker than the John Courage Bitters I had in England, it
does taste pretty good.
A strong hoppy flavor but not to "heavy".
My next batch will be an American Pale Ale brewed from scratch using
some of my home grown Cascade hops I grew this summer.
Now I will have to get to one of those Triumph get togethers so I can
share my beer/ale with others.
My first crop of hops yielded about 2 oz. I am hoping for a better crop
next year.
As far as Triumphs are concerned, I removed the battery from the 6 last
Saturday. The 3 and 4 have been sleeping since August since it was the
6's turn. My garage only allows one car to be used at a time. (Triumph
content).
Here is hoping for a short warmer Winter.
