I have a 1.7Kg tin of Coopers BL in the cupboard that needs a good brewing and I have a 1Kg tub of Pale LME and a teabag if Tettnanger Hops. The missus will only let me go berserk on malt extract and partial mash brews, once the kits are out of the cupboard!
If I want to work up a 23Litre SG of around 1.050, I reckon I need to add more to the primary in the way of LME or sugars... What would you experience extract guru's recommend?
Another 500g to 1Kg of LME? 1Kg of Dextrose? 3 drops of sinister sauce?
Nothing??
According to my Excel calcs, I need 3594g of LME for a 23L brew (based on an 80 degrees Brix extract at 30 IBU). I plan on chucking in the tea bag for bittering and finish off with some pellets of EKG (6.1% AAU).
Anyone got a better way to spruce up the Coopers Bavarian Lager Kit extract?
Thanks in advance,
Rowan
