I've seen the thread here and tried a variation of the one on the Coopers site ... has anyone got a recipe they use that's better?
Used Briess Sparkling Amber (1kg dry) instead of the type in the recipe. Used 2 x coopers kit yeast and final volume of 26L so as to get 20 x 1.25L bottles (yeah i'm too under resourced for lauter tuns and kegs).
OG 1042
FG 1010
Bottled 11th day and (wicked child *smack*) sampled one at only 16 days .... it is bloody lovely!
.... but .... nothing like a Hobgobblin. WAY darker. And the malt is too pronounced.
Any other suggestions (while keeping this in the realms of kit and shit)?
Methinks some hops need to be moved into the boil rather all dryhopped. Maybe an English ale yeast?
