I'm planning on putting down an APA - something similar to the Little Creatures one, but I don't have the time to use my AG rig and time is of the essence, as I need the brew drinkable by early April.
My LHBS is rather limited in what it sells (no AG stuff anyway) so here is what I have come up with from what is available:
1x Can Coopers Can (Euro Lager)
400g Dry Amber Extract
400g Dry Pale Extract
250g Dry Wheat Extract
5g Amarillo @ 5 Mins
5g Amarillo into the fermenter
15g Cascade into the fermenter
US05 yeast
I've chosen the Euro Lager because (I think) it isn't hopped to very high bitterness (please correct me if I'm wrong and if this only applies to the regular Lager). I am tempted to get the Coopers Pale Ale, but I thought my hop additions would make it too bitter as it's designed to be a relatively hopped/bitter base. (I've made this mistake before with late hopping Coopers K&K beers and ending up way too bitter).
Cheers
