+1. Add 10% wheat and you have a winner.carniebrew said:You could make a Coopers Pale Ale clone, enough extract to make around 4.5% abv, add enough PoR at 60m to get you around 28 IBU. Use Australian Ale yeast, or culture up some from the Coopers bottles.
If you're not aware of the AA rating of your hops it makes it a little difficult to calculate IBU exactly. I no chill and I tend to adjust my gravity to get IBU to where I want it just going on taste from one batch to another. I do that by using 2 pots and boiling approximately 10 litres in each. So I work on how much hops I wish to use and adjust everything else to suit and can get it pretty close to where I want it just through experience straight off the top of my head.carniebrew said:Batch volume? Expected ABV, IBU?
Can you please share this recipe or post a link to it - ta!flymanor said:i just brewed a brewers choice koziusco clone with extract (mt cozzie ti think), which used POR and galaxy. very pleased with the result. Well worth a go if you're a fan of the beer.
After reading this thread again I notice the large boil time for the grain.hoppy2B said:50 grams of dark crystal steeped at 70 degrees for 60 minutes.
2 kilos of LDME.
50 grams of POR flowers boiled for 30 minutes.
Coopers bottle yeast.
I don't know, I've always just steeped for 60 minutes. I drop it in at 70 degrees and walk away. It shouldn't really matter if the temp drops 10 degrees in that time. If you normally steep for 20 minutes and are happy then that should be fine.Shanta said:After reading this thread again I notice the large boil time for the grain.
I've only ever steeped my grain in a extract brew for 20mins @ 70 degrees . Is the 60min steep essential as it does seem long to try to hold the temp at 70?
Yeah you're probably right Duc stu. I thought when I made the above suggestion it might be a bit high. I didn't work out the IBU prior to suggesting it.Ducatiboy stu said:POR is not really a hop suitable for high IBU beers. I would keep it under 40Ibu.
