Morgan’s Royal Oak Amber Ale

This beer took a bit over a week for it to stop bubbling. I bottled it a few days after that. I sterilized it the usual way. First, I used boiling water to sterilize the container and the tools for brewing. I sterilized the bottles using the oven on 120 deg after rinsing them with water. I used a sugar measure for the 330ml bottles. That was enough to empty the 23 liters in the brewing container. I used the small bottles as the does not go flat, if you leave a big bottle in the fridge it will go flat after opening and I found the plastic bottles leak air through the plastic over time and I just found them not as good as the glass bottles. 

The colour of the beer looked good and was a caramel-brown colour. The taste  was as good as beer you would find in the shop. It's a smooth, full-flavoured beer with a light caramel aroma and the beer I produced was similar to the description on the concentrate container. 
The head was ok as it lasted a while but not as long as you would get from beer in the shop. 
I started brewing in April this time. The temprature was about 24 deg while brewing which was a lot cooler than the 30 deg of my previous brew.
Initial taste of the beer was clean before the bottling and there were no bad smells from the container.
This is the best brew I have done so far this year as the tempratures at this time of the year are good for brewing. 


I look foward to making more brews before the beginning of winter. I may even try to brew a larger in the middle of winter without a fridge. 
I will try to use some other brands of brewing concentrates but I have always recomended the Morgans premium range as I have had the best results with them.  I will be looking foward to the next brew.
Note: I maybe able to brew in summer with an old bar fridge and a temprature controlled thermostat plugged into the wall socket.
