1kg of dme, 23 L, 1042 og.
Not really a metric ton - just a good session beer depending on fg.
 
Tonight I cracked a bottle of the Coopers Canadian Blonde can with BE1 from a July bottling. It's quite nice swill, but this was after a couple (or few) glasses of Vienna Lager. Nothing offensive about it at all, although I think the Vienna Lager may have been a little on the bitter side.
 
got one down as we speak. trying the blushing blonde coopers recipe but with an added twist of 500g dex to see a good alcohol content!

The blushing blonde is on my 'to do list'. It's such a versatile kit can.
Some nice Saaz flavour and aroma. A good base for:
Saison
Kolsch
Blonde ale obviously
Pilsner with proper yeast

Probably one of the most underrated Coopers cans!

still unsure wether to do a late dry how with a little citra I have, or just let the berries do the talking.
 
I brewed this last summer some time and came up real nice! For memory I used 700g of Dex and 500g of light dme with Nottingham yeast pitched at about 24 can't remember exactly and fermented around 18. Gave it a week after gravity stabilised to help clean it up at then crashed it for two days and keg, an awesome summer drop and simple brew too! Hope it's goes well
