Thanks manticle. I'll take your advice on board regarding the Caramalt. I am going to hold on to the Citra for another brew. However will using the Chinook as my bittering hop produce an overwhelming grapefruit taste? or is 30g a safe amount? Cheers.

Thanks for your reply mate. I might go with 200g of Crystal & 300g of Victory. Here are the numbers I’ve got so far without adding Citra into the equation. OG 1052 / FG 1012 IBU 50 / EBC 19.2 I almost always use a spec yeast but the thinking behind this brew is to use up some left overs and...

Bump. Anyone? Please?

Hey everyone, after having success with brewing my first extract beer (Pacific Ale clone) I am keen to do another one and use up some left over hops I have in the freezer. What do y’all think of this recipe? I am aiming for a English IPA. These are the ingredients I already have on hand...

Here are the estimates I got from IanH's sheet: OG 1053 FG 1014 IBU 44 EBC 9.7 ABV 5.5% (bottled). Cheers!

1067? Wowzers! 23lt brew? It should be a decent drop mate, heavy (in ABV) but sessionable. I have a tin each of Coopers APA & Coopers Wheat Beer ready to go for when the weather warms up to make their Saison recipe. Hopefully it's nice so I can put one down every summer.

Yeah that is tops. I attempted to make a Constable clone this year, it turned out way darker than the JS original. If I did it again I would use these ingredients instead: Coopers English Bitter tin 500g Light Dry Malt 200g Crystal 15g Fuggles 30g Galaxy Kit yeast 21 lt brew The first time I...

No problem, they sell 15g bags of Galaxy at Big W now. No joke - Brigalow are selling them as finishing hops, sitting at room temperature and everything. Anyways, back on topic...

PS - A Coopers 1.7kg Pale Ale tin brewed to 8.5 litres with nothing else will give you a near perfect American IPA. OG 1062 FG 1015 IBU 50 EBC 13.2 :beerbang:

Looks like they're trying to get more 'craft' beer drinkers into brewing. Coopers Craft DIY Beer kit - 15 litre fermenter (to fit in their apartment kitchens). http://store.coopers.com.au//beer-kits/coopers-diy-beer-craft-kit.html This 'how-to' video was uploaded yesterday...

1.7kg Coopers Draught tin 1.5kg Light Liquid Malt Extract US-05 yeast 21lt brew Will be a great all malt ale without any fruitiness.

What type of beers do you like / favourite recipe? Do you have a local home brew shop or just go to the supermarket for you K&K?

Damn, my local Coles doesn't even sell brew cans. And my LHBS owner locked me out 5 minutes before closing time. Ahh well, ended up getting a Cooper's Canadian Blonde tin from Big W. Recipe as follows: 1.7kg Canadian Blonde 1kg LDME 250g Dextrose 10 g Calypso @ 10 mins 20 g Calypso dry hop...

They sell tins at Coles? S*** how come I didn't know this already. I only ever go to Big W or Woolies. Thanks dudes.

G'day all. I want to brew Coopers' Caribbean Siesta recipe but I can't get my hands on their Cerveza tin anywhere local at the moment. Can anyone recommend a good substitute? Black Rock, Morgans, Mangrove Jacks? Sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to split hairs haha. Cheers + Beers. -Mark

Not an extract recipe but it might put you on the right path to writing your own: http://www.coopers.com.au/#/diy-beer/beer-recipes/strong/detail/biere-du-mois-saison/ Or there is this thread: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/61391-saison-extract-recipe/

There was no figure listed on the container. I asked the bloke at the HBS and he wasn't sure but guessed between 5.5% - 6% ABV. You know what they say about assumptions hey haha. No big deal. If it goes alright I can always chuck some extra LDM at it next time.

Cheers guys, I ended up using the MJ's M44 yeast and will keep the S-04 for another brew. Mick - yes mate I got the wort kit from Brewer's Choice. I brewed it up last night and the OG was 1040 which was a bit of surprise - I expected it to be a bit higher. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

We had two away wins yippee! Bummer I went to Molly Malone's for lunch one day when were up there but didn't notice any craft beer joint. I did have a LCPA off tap at MM's which is a nice change. OK - So I have my fresh wort kit and am going to brew this up as follows: Black Cat Wort (by All...

Hey Leigh, the recipe looks good to me mate. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you might only need a 2 or 3 litre boil with about 1 cup of malt (dry or liquid).
