Coopers Sparkling Ale Kit

[Ragmans Coat]

Helo all

Its been a long time cince I've posted. My brew skils are a bit rusty, just wondering if i make a coopers SA kit and add some reckultured yeast will it be as good as the real deal? Also would dex or white suger be best?

cheers - rag :icon_drool2:

Using the yeast from their bottles will go a long way towards making it authentic, temp control during fermentation would help too. White sugar would be completely wrong, if you have to use sugar use dextrose, but keep it small, i.e. no more than say 300 grams in a 23 litre batch.

Have you had a look at Coopers suggested recipe for the Sparkling Ale?
