I tend to brew a coopers real ale kit every so often when I'm running low and don't have the time to brew a AG. I use the kit yeast, temp control fridge and only difference is I dry hop for 24 hours before cold crash (24-48hrs) with around 50-70g of a fav hop and they turn out very drinkable...

I do this mainly for my house pale at the moment to shorten brew day and have had no issues.

Looking forward to the recipe mate :)

They ended up putting two in, one copper and the other stainless. I haven't bothered timing how long it takes to get to the boil because its not noticeable.

I got this 50ltr kit and love it! Tho I wish I got a bigger pot than the 71ltr so I could do full volume mashes

Report back on your first brew day and let us know how you go :) I'd be interested how you brew a double compared to myself as I have the same kit from CheekyPeak and have brewed three double batches so far (all no chill into 20L cubes) with two still marinating in there cubes because i've been...
