@MSG, Feral are awesome, my favourite brewery. I've made a couple of clones of the hop hog & they never last long once word gets out Mate I like your tastes & will grab your recommendations when I'm at Dan's next. I really don't buy a lot of beer any more. I do love that craft beer has boomed over the last several years & peoples tastes are broadening & supporting a growing market.
The Pacific Ale is a nice light ale, huge amounts of Galaxy hops late & dry hopped. It's almost in the desert beer category, it doesn't have the bitterness or bold malt flavours that I usually like, but I'd never pass one up if on offer
Agree on Feral, by far my favourite Australian brewery. Hop Hog, White, Golen Ace and Sly Fox are all delicious. How do you go about cloning the hop hog? I actually made a S&W clone a couple of years ago that turned out great, but haven't been brewing much lately. I'm thinking of putting another imperial chocolate/coffee stout together soon so it will be ready for winter. Big, bold dark beers have always turned out fantastic for me; much less risky than attempting delicate pale ales.
Yep the Pacific Ale is just an incredibly light, fruity beer. I do think there are far superior light ales going around, although if it's getting commercial lager drinkers to enjoy a beer with hops in it then it's got to be a good thing!
I'll see if I can find a pic ...

I just use the Coopers Home Brew kit wich I get good results with
If you sterilise everything that comes in contact with the brew and keep it at the correct temp range ( these are the 2 things you have to be anally retentive about) you usually end up with a beer that tastes just as good if not better than anything youd buy. BUT.....Yes once you start to get sloppy you can end up with 23litres of cats pissMy dad had a kit and brewed his own for a while. To start with he was pretty damned careful , measuring everything precisely , and most of his brews came out pretty decent drop.
Then he started getting sloppy and just chucking it in..... not good.

LOLYeah he had the water trap type of air valve, and I caught him without any water in it once.
Not good.
Good work Q Train. I started on the kits too. If you swap out the included yeast and replace it with some US05 and add some additional hops into the boil for 10 mins, your brews will have a massive improvement in qualityYes I brew my own Beer Its a good fun hobby, and I challenge anybody to get drunk on Stamps or Model Planes I just use the Coopers Home Brew kit wich I get good results with
