:icon_offtopic: I do often wonder if so many "experienced" brewers bag out Coopers yeast, just because it's Coopers. I wonder what they would think of it if it was sold under a different name...Bribie G said:Sounds spot on for a kits n bits, I often did 1.5kg of extras with a kit, and it will balance the additional hops. And life's too short to drink lite beerz :beerbang:
Also nothing wrong with pitching two kit yeasts. The Coopers kit yeasts aren't too bad, you'll see a lot of guys on the forum saying to chuck them and get a "better" yeast.
That's ok if you are aiming for something specific like a lager or an American pale ale, but for most of the Coopers core range such as Draught, real ale etc the yeast under the lid is just fine.
No, thats a misconception, just like many of the view on this yeast. Only 2 or 3 of the kits have a mix of ale and lager yeast. Most of the kits use a pure ale strain developed by Coopers.Yob said:In 7g packets of mixed ale and lager yeast?
I'd think the same as I do now...

I dont think a blanket statement like that cuts it mate, if I have an IPA with a gravity of 1065, that's ok with a 7g packet of kit yeast?pcmfisher said:I reckon unless you have temp control you may as well use the kit yeast...
OH sorry.Yob said:I dont think a blanket statement like that cuts it mate, if I have an IPA with a gravity of 1065, that's ok with a 7g packet of kit yeast?
