Hi everyone!
I was once pretty good at the old kit brews but gave it away for about four years due to other commitments. Now I'm ready to drag out the fermenters and have another crack at it. With fear of being a bit rusty, I thought I'd run a recipe by you guys first.
I was looking at doing a pale ale using:
Coopers Australian Pale Ale Kit
Safale S-04 Yeast
2kg Light Dry Malt
Pride of Ringwood Hops Infusion Bag
Any suggestions for this brew? More hops? Different yeast?
What is the yeast that comes with the Coopers kit like? Is it any good? If so I might use that rather than the Safale. If not, I will stick to Safale. Has anyone ever tried chucking in both a Coopers yeast and a Safale?
One more question, I was looking to make this fairly alcoholic. Would chucking in another kilo of dextrose greatly impact on the flavour?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
