coops pa x2
LDME 1kg
dex 1.5kg
bh1 1kg
maple syrup 500g
15 kg cascade hops @ 5 mins

OG 1048
FG 1014? (Gotta buy a decent hydrometer. the bilo special does not suffice)

this (the dark ale/leatherwood recipe) has been in the bottle almost a month now and it has developed a beautiful not-too-sweet dark burnt toast personality. i love it. we have talked about trying it with yellow box instead but in hindsight it just needs to age a little. leatherwood is strong when ...

haha that's what lookin after a 3yo and 4mo will do to ya

xox

Tarlox, do you have a link for Gbrew? Googled it and have had no luck.

thanks for the advice, will see what i can come up with. on the way out the door so may have to wait for later to try qbrew but it sounds interesting.

I have to admit to being pretty new to this still...could you suggest better hops? i have some fuggles and some cascade in the cupboard, maybe either of those would do?

nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything

Bit of an attempt at a Monteith's Smooth black style.
Coopers Stout can
1kg dark LM
150 choc grain
150 dark grain
15 g sticklebrac + 10g steep
1/2 hr steep for grain

Dunno if this interests you, but fig beer is apparently an old jewish brew.

Mazel Tov!

came back from sydney on sat, am now ready to put down the brew tonight. poured one last sample of the water and it's not too bad. will start a thread re the maple pale ale recipe i plan to do.

will just go boiling water/napisan next time but.

Coopers Classic Old Dark Ale
500gm Dextrose, 250gm Light Dry Malt Extract, 250gm Maltodextrin
500gm Leatherwood Honey
12gm Goldings Hop steeped.
Yeast as supplied.

cracked one open just a moment ago, i reckon it compares with the JS porter. not a bad drop, ready to open another.

yay.

...mmmm....just poured a sample after its been in there 20 hrs and the water smells pretty strong.

think i will start again.

may have to take your advice, damn it. flying to sydney tmrw so can't do it until next w/end.

Yeah it's weird, I rinsed with cold water as it says on the bottle. It still smelt really strong. I put boiling water in it and that's when the smell filled the room, I guess the steam really got it up in the air? Decied after that to leave it a few days to air. It still has a faint-medium smell but ...

Correction - it is not only available by mail order. See their website for more info.

Sounds like a wild coeliac fantasy, but is no doubt that of a friend of mine who was devastated at the discovery that he is a coeliac - ie he can't process the gluten that is present in wheat, barley and a number of other grains, and therefore can expect a night of excruciating stomach pain should ...

on the point of coops pa - was won back the other day after getting really bored with, when i had one on tap at local. so much better than bottled, ya kno if it's tipped even a little ya get the yeast ruining that light hops taste.

so yeah - CPA on tap all the way - unless it's the bottom of their ...

Greetings fellow beerlovers

Set to boiling water today (we have tank) for my 2nd brew, to realise that i had left sodium met in the fermenter for, oh, 3 days. It stinks to say the least - made the mistake of leaning over it when i took the tap out of the soak and almost burnt my nostrils. Have ...
