I've got to tell you about a recipe that I made, supposedly a LCPA clone but not having tasted this beer cannot comment upon the similarities; however it is an exceptional ale.
Morgans Stockmans Draught (1can 1.7kgs)
Coopers Light malt extract unhopped(1 can 1.5kg)
Coopers brew enhancer 1 (body Booster) 500g
12g Cluster Hops (morgans boil in bag)
24g Cascade Hops (morgans boil in bag)
yeast as supplied with Draught can
Made upto 23l boiled LME and BE1 for 30mins, adding cluster hops, then added 12g cascade hops for 10mins and final 12g for last minute.
This beer is absolutely sensational, hoppy and malty, quite strong in alc. as I didn't take SG or OG readings I'm guessing around 6-6.5% Fermentation temp in low 20's, racked to secondary, after about 1week in secondary cold conditioned for a few weeks. (kegged and bottled the balance). After about 4 weeks conditioning, I can thorougly recommend this recipe. Colour golden brown, clear and good head retention.
For a typical homebrew the cost is getting up there but once tasted you can appreciate that the little extra cost is well worth it.
Side note I've also made a Pilsner Urquell clone based on the PDF recipe book I've been sending out. It's in secondary at the moment and I'll allow to cold condition for a few months but will let you know how it turns out.
This recipe was
1 can Cooper Canadian Blonde (recipe called for pale malt extract) and I wanted a light coloured yellow pilsner at the end hence my selection.
500g DLME
500g BE1
24g Saaz hops
Recultered yeast from Coopers Brewmaster Pilsner made previously. (Saflager yeast type)
Boiled LMEand BE1 with 12g hops for 30mins then added remaining hops for last minute.
Transferred to secondary and added finings.
Cheers
