Coopers Mister Sinister

[GOBLIN]

Interested in trying this one next week:
Coopers Dark ale
Coopers dark Malt Extract
1 kg Dark Brown sugar
300g Roasted Barley
2 x w34/70 Lager yeast

mix to 23 litres, ferment at around 14 degrees for 2 weeks. Bottle for one month.

its supposed to be very tasty.

What do you guys recon? Should i use any hops?

Just for my taste and because I'm a little experimental in my approach, I'd add a little crystal, up the IBU slightly and maybe use POR as a late addition/dry hop.

The crystal would probably improve the balance. I always find roast barley a bit too bitter.

Isn't 14˚ a little cold for ale yeast?

EDIT - i'm an idiot. Ignore everything i say

:beerbang:

The recipe says to use dextrose and not dark brown sugar? Thinking ill grab the ingredients from the local and try this one too.
