My beer

I thought it was about time this went into the right area as I posted it in the beer you buy last time.

It needs a good name but I have no idea

1 x Coopers Bitter
1 kg Dextrose
500gm malt
500gm honey
750ml 100% orange juice
3 tbs cinnanon powder

throw it all in your fermenter add 2ltrs boiling water & stir top up to 22ltrs

use a fermenter with some room a the top as this really froths up during fementation

also takes a while to settle the sediment after

Is it your staple brew, as in is this the one you do most often?

I just called mine Williams Premium Lager, I found a piece of literature on-line which stated that we as homebrewers, being choosy about our ingredients can claim them as Premiums!

Williams being my surname, not first name.

I know Yardglass has called one of his Yard's Lager, so maybe just your name and either Ale, or Lager depending on the yeast you use.

whats the alc content?! Looks like a lot of sugar with the 1kg dex, 500gm malt and honey plus the sugars in the orange juice.
