Here's another Coopers Sparkling Ale clone I found somewhere. I think this guy used a yeast starter cultured from two Coopers stubbies:

Ingredients
1.7Kg Coopers Draught can kit
1Kg Ultra Brew (or 500g Light Malt Extract, 250g dextrose, 250g maltodextrin)
150g white sugar (this is important)
24g pride of ringwood hops
1tsp irish moss

Method:
Boil as much of wort as possible for 30+ minutes, adding:
1tsp irish moss 30 minutes before the end of the boil
12g pride of ringwood 15 minutes before the end of the boil
12g pride of ringwood 5 minutes before the end of the boil
Force chill wort and transfer to fermenter, straining out hops & hot/cold break trub.
Top up with cold water (preferably pre-boiled) to 23 litres.
Aerate vigorously and pitch yeast from the starter when temperature is below 25 degrees C.

With a good starter, caught at the right time, this should start fermenting very quickly and the airlock should be bubbling vigorously within 3 hours.

Ferment at less than 22 degrees C.
It would be advantageous to transfer to a secondary fermenter after about 4-5 days, but I just bottled from the primary after around 8 when the airlock stopped bubbling entirely.

Bulk prime with 180g of dextrose.
