Coopers Real Ale
1kg ldm
200g crystal
20g cascade 20 min
10g nelson 20 min
15g nelson 0 min
2 packs coopers yeast or 14g
Love this brew, maybe a little heavy for more than 2 or 3 but will be making this one again soon.

Yes medium dry malt or at least thats what they call it here. Muntons sells ldm,mdm and ddm in 500g bags. They medium makes the beer a little maltier, but i suppose you could use ldm or liquid if you so choose.

Tasty
1kg mdm
300g dex
cooper draught
boil in 5-6 liters water, mdm
10g cascade/5g tetnger 20min

One of my favs. Muntons blonde 1.7kg
1kg ldm
500g honey

tastes good but looking for ideas on hop additions

Freeze berries first, or so I've heard

I have made this tin a few different ways but my favorite is:
Coopers Pale Ale
1kg mdm
500g honey
yeast with can and one more so 14g
dry hopped this one with fuggles
yum yum

Have used out of date kits many times, mostly all with success. Only noticable diff. is a bit darker. I replace yeast but I allways do except for Coopers Pils.

1kg PME
2kg WME
300g med crystal
2 oz northern brewer
1oz hallerteau
11g nottingham yeast
Boiled approx. 10 l h2o with 1.5oz NB and liquid from steeped crystal for 1 hour, .5 oz for half hour. hall. at flame out. Top up to 23 liters.
Hope it is not too bitter

Last Coopers Real Ale
+1kg dd malt
+500g honey
2 packs coopers yeast so 14g
Turned out very tasty, I also boiled honey and skimmed off whit crap
Maybe next time add some hops

Very interesting, I've been scared of the toucan brews as per bitterness. Sometimes go small and a big can ( 1.1 and 1. May try the double draught. Never thought of the 11.5 liter brew, alcohol destroys braincells they say. Oh well its all fun

Walapen websnappers thats gonna be some brew. don't invite any friends over

Hey Pommie try kit, 1kg malt ex dry or liquid and 200-300g dex, should be between 5-5.5 percent

That sounds quite heavy cleverpig, but hey whatever you like

I made some "candi sugar" for my last two brews. Have no idea if it was cane or other.Would it make a diff? Also don't dump candi sugar while it is super hot into your boil, you will not like the results

sounds like its done. I don't woorry to much and after three weeks I would bottle. But to be on the safe side take an hydrometer reading today and tomorrow. If the same bottle

I have allways used both. Twist offs-you have to push a little harder for a good seal. Clear bottles- cover em up with an old shirt and keep them in the dark

So Ed the carafa would be good in the darker brews?

Usually 2-3 pints, but on weekends could get as high as 12. Trying to cut down as beer muscle is growing

There are a lot of variables. I've noticed that yeasts play a role as do the kits. But as a rule I ussually add 1 cup dex. to the whole batch and I've mostly had no probs. Some take longer than others but hey. Last one I added some Crystal Malt and it made a big diff.

I've used 1 cup every time and for the past 2 years carb. has been good. If fermentation not complete trouble awaits. I allways transfer to secondary after 4-5 days, then leave for 1-2 weeks.
