Putting this one down this afternoon:
1 can Coopers Pale Ale
500gm Dextrose
500gm LDME
15gm Cascade at 15 min
15gm Amarillo at 5min
Dry hop 20gm Amarillo
Make up to 22 litres and pitch US05.
Looking for something that is a cross between Coopers Pale Ale and James Squire Golden. Not doing the grain thing this time. Did think about going 350gm Dext, 350gm LDME and 300gm Honey, but decided against it. Thought that going all malt would be too malty for the style.
Any opinions????
Pale Ale
Re: Pale Ale
Coopers Pale Ale is now reported to be all malt.
Not sure about JSGA, the flavours seem to have been watered down over time so i suspect it contains some sugar.
I found my all malt kit beers were the best, particularly with some steeped grain but that's my personal preference. If you want something drier then a small (250g) dex addition is the go.

Re: Pale Ale
I've done something similar to your pale ale recipe; the only difference being that I used a full kilo of LDME and no dextrose.
I'd say the Doc's advice is good: all malt and some steeped grain seems to work best with this kit, although given your hop additions I can't see the malt being too swamped by the hops.

Really? Any updated whiteboard pics??drsmurto wrote:Coopers Pale Ale is now reported to be all malt.
Although I didn't think the recipe needed changing
...and I still think the Leabrook-made stuff tasted better!!Coopers.
Re: Pale Ale
Its been a lengthy and ongoing discussion over on AHB.
From memory emails were sent to the brewery confirming a few things.
CPA is now all malt, CSA contains ~5% sugar.
Yeast in bottles is same as that used in primary.

Re: Pale Ale
I have a pale ale on tap at the moment that used home grown chinook flowers.
Amazing flavour/aroma, nothing like US chinook, actually more like NZ B-Saaz as it reminds me of a LC bright ale more than the pale ale.
It wont last long
