Currently drinking this APA/AIPA style brew. Lots of US style hop aroma and flavour.

1 tin Coopers Pale Ale
1 tin Coopers Light Malt
0.5kg Wheat DME
300g Medium Crystal, steeped
12g EACH of Simcoe, Cascade, Amarillo, Chinook at 20 min boil
12g EACh of Simcoe, Cascade, Amarillo, Chinook dry hop Day 0
12g EACh of Simcoe, Cascade, Amarillo, Chinook dry hop Day 7
1 tsp of Gypsum (I have very soft water in my area and the hoppy beers love a bit of Gypsum)

US-05 at 17degC for 15 days then crash chilled for 3 days at 1.5 degC. Bottled with 1tsp of sucrose. 6% ABV

keep your hops within style and keep them to late and dry addditions so you dont add too much

extra bitterness to what the can already has.



The easiest way is to boil your hops in 3 or 4 litres of water for the required time then strain into your FV...
using wort or a water/malt mix will give better results but play around and see what you prefer.
