Hi all, still relatively new to home brewing, but have enjoyed the batches I've completed so far.
To mix it up I've been looking at different recipes and have stumbled across one for the coopers strong vintage ale
containing;
- Coopers original real ale
- Coopers international Australian pale ale
- Dextrose 1kg
-Nottingham Yeast 11g
-Nelson Sauvin finishing hops
A few questions regarding this recipe that i have are;
1. I've seen a few people using 500g of Dextrose over 1kg, does this just reduce the ABV?
2. Is dextrose more appropriate than say LME or DME
3. Is this a suitable brew for a newer-ish brewer
4. I've never added hops to a beer before but plan on adding the finishing hops straight into the FV, is this correct or is there a better manner in which to do this?
Thanks all for reading any advice at all would be amazing, with the weather at a perfect 17-19 degrees for next few weeks in Vic hoping to put a few batches down and make the most of the opportunity.
