Coopers Dark Ale

[ben-burd]

Hi guys

Just looking at brewing the simple Coopers Dark Ale recepie from the coopers website

http://www.coopers.com.au/#/diy-beer/beer-recipes/ale/detail/coopers-dark-ale/

• 
  1.7kg Australian Pale Ale
  
• 
  750g Thomas Coopers Dark Malt Extract (half the can)
  
• 
  200g Sugar
  

what would be the result if i removed the sugar and used all the dark malt can?

any other tips suggestions? keen to keep this one really simple as i want to use it as a base to compare future dark ales.

I would see if your local brew shop has dried dark malt. Much easier for splitting.

I would keep the sugar in, it's probably part of the recipe to thin the beer out a little and dry it out a bit as well. Liquid malt worts don't attenuate as well as full grain worts so the sugar plays a part.

Went to the LHBS and ended up comming home with a Morgan's dark can and the shops dark blend which contains dex corn syrup LME & DME

Will give it a go
