So do I. So my next brew is going to be a Coopers Lager and Tooheys Dark Toucan. I'm not sure if it'll be too bitter though, should I boil the lager for longer? It's my first ever toucan, so I have NFI. I'm doing these two because they are what I have, and the yeast was missing in the Dark when I bought it .
Will have to talk my brother into doing one of these. He loves the darks and it sounds awesome!
Tanga you can throw some LDME in to add some sweetness back into the mix to balance the hoppy bitterness of a 2can, but that ups the alc content. I'd never add any extra hops to a 2can...
It WILL be bitter without a little malt, but age will mellow that bad boy out nicely. (months in the bottle, not weeks so next winter you will have a killer brew)
