Coopers Lager Help

[TmC]

I have been planning on doing a Thomas Coopers Heritage Lager for a few weeks now but i can't find any Light Malt Extract tins. I have a decent stock of bits of ingredients which i think i can use to make a nice beer and i also have another fermenter to rack into. These are the ingredients i have with me;

90g Cascade, Cluster, POR, Amarillo, Centennial Hops
1kg Carapils
1kg Medium crystal
500g dex
1kg LME
US-05 yeast

Any suggestions?

Can't you get any Dried LME from your local store or even Coopers ME if they still stock it in your local supermarket or even BE2 at a push.

Not sure what you intend to brew but 250g of Carapils will go with the can.

Looked everywhere, cant find LME in a can. How much dried LDME would be equivalent to one can of goo?

1 tin is 1kg of dry or I think its 1kg dry to 1.5kg of liquid or there abouts

I have made this kit before but have a few improvements planned for next time. It is definitely more of an Aussie style of lager than a euro. This is what I plan to brew:

TC Heritage Lager Tin
1kg LDME
250g Dextrose (dry out the malt)
250g White cane sugar (give that Aussie lager twang)
100g Carapils steeped (for head retention and a bit of grain character)
5-10g POR flowers in a 15minute boil (I like lager quite bitter)
All made upto 23L

I am going to use a Danish Lager yeast at 10degC then ramp it up at the end. If using US05 try to ferment around 18degC.

You need 1.2 times as much liquid to equal dried malt.

This is what im going to do up tomorrow.

1 Can Coopers Heritage Lager
1kg Light Dry Malt Extract
500g BE2
100g Carapils
US-05 at 18C

Rack to secondary for 2 weeks.
