    What is an alternative malt for "Coopers Single Origin Ale Malt"?

    Coopers Maltsters (malt manufacturers) won the International Maltsters 'Best’ award in its first year of production, I think this was shared by a Swiss Maltster from memory. This level of quality recognition is amazeballs! Based on my experience I would use coopers malt over any other given the...

    The difference between candi sugar and candi sugar

    Hello LRAT, I have carefully read your post and watched the video and I think you are confusing two processes here. You mention the word 'Maillard' reaction and Candy sugar with regard to inverted sugar? These are two seperate processes which produce two VERY different sugars for brewing...

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    My comments were initially regarding what Skillz wanted to achieve in his question of reducing his overly sweet beer. By having a low temperature mash (64 to 69) with no mash-out you get a very fermentable wort. I still sparge but only at Top Heat, you get a slightly lower Og and a nice and...

    Sweet taste? Help!!!

    G’day Skillz, my 2c fwiw, your fg is quite good your hops are not what I use much. Sweetness is subjective :-} I like my beer dry and bitter, the malt bill looks ok. Working with what you’ve got - I would consider not having a mash-out and keep the 'top heat' to 67C Getting the fg down to 1005...

    The scum that forms as you ramp up to the boil yes, anything after that gets stirred into the boil; that is all taste and body and goodness.......

    1927 Coopers Sparkling Ale recipe... and table sugar!

    I love Coopers Sparkling Ale, strong, simple, crisp, a great beer. What Mark says about the choice of Maris Otter + I think it would be a bit too cloying for this beer. I would invert the sugar prior to adding and use a Coopers Grain, as Mark says Schooner would be a good choice + I dont think...

    Woke up to the smell of Beer!

    Once bottled they go into cardboard boxes to mitigate that likely hood and are kept at 18c ; never had a single failure or under carbonated beer, I carefully nip the lids up tight to ensure a good seal, they dont need returning just chucked in the recycling - Cheers Guys...
