AndrewQLD said:TD, I have a coopers clone that is my standard house ale, when I was formulating the recipe I tried adding small amounts of late addition hops as aroma, then flavour and finally stayed with the coopers standard of bittering hops only.
CPA is a fairly delicate beer with a light malt profile that is made even lighter by the <19% sugar addition to the kettle, and late addition hops seem to dominate and ruin a really nice, easy to drink beer. In fact it is easy to overdo the bittering hops as well so I tend to bitter with POR to 27ibu's at the most now.
This is one beer that non home brew people will tuck into with real gusto.
Cheers

manaen said:I am looking at doing a pale for my next brew, and I finally have some grains & hops in stock. By the sounds of it a 50/50 ale/pilsner may be the go but I also have some specialty malts I want to try.
I have Caramunich I, Carahelles and Carared to play with as well as Northern Brewer, Amarillo and POR hops to play around with.
I was thinking this recipe for a double batch .. any advice on changes / improvements?
