Coopers Sparkling Ale
 
yeah my best beer yet.. am in love with galaxy hops atm :icon_drool2: and i am quite proud of the subtle coffee/choc notes that this beer has.
 
+1 for galaxy hops. Looks like a cracker of recipe. Will have give this a go in a few weeks time.
 
Mashed at 66 For 60 for this then raised to 76 for 10, then a 60 min boil.
 
Just laid one into a cube, will let you know how it is when I ferment it. :beerbang:

Turned out delightful, put down the other cube last sunday

I love the chocolate coffee overtones that the amber malt adds.
 
sweet please do gibbo, i have made this 3 times now, and have 1 in the bottle conditioning atm. i even thought about tweaking it but then thought the better of it, why fix what isnt broken. :chug:
 
Just tried after gassing and it is excellent. I fermented with us05. Well done, will definitely brew again. :beerbang:
 
Glad you liked the recipe mate, seems to go good with the american yeasts aswell, recently made this with wyeast1272 and i think i like it better then the coopers version, really allows the hops to come through
 
brewed this last weekend, will see how it turns out, the wort certainly looked and tasted great. its fermenting now.

i brewed this a few weeks ago. holy shirt. pretty amazing

get on it if you havn't already
 
Going to brew this tomorrow and am wondering how to adjust for no-chill?

Plugging the recipe into Brewmate spits out an IBU of 41.1
Click no-chill and it bumps the IBU right up to 75.4 :blink: :blink:

If I go the whole "deduct 20 mins" for no-chill by say making the 60 mins hop addition to 40 min and adjust the 10 min to 0min and the 0min just dry hop I get an IBU of 45. Is this the right way to do it? Or will I be missing some galaxy flavour in this brew??
