I just tried a coopers brew A IPA I had bottle conditioned for 2 weeks.
Unfortunately the taste was pretty disappointing this time around but I'll see if it improves in 2 weeks conditioning, otherwise it'll probably go down the sink.
Strangely, I have made this same recipe before and it was good, but this time it was not very tasty and the brew was much darker. It was not far off tooheys old colour!
Before, when I have made this the EBC was around 19, this time it was probably around 26. Significantly darker despite the same recipe.
Does anyone know why the same recipe would give a huge difference in colour?
The recipe was:
1 x Brew A IPA
1 x Coopers light malt extract can
pack of US-05
80g dry hop (galaxy) 3 days before bottling.
Brewed around 20 degrees.
Thanks
