Hi guys,
There are a few ingredients sitting in the back of the cupboard that I want to use to make my last brews before my foray into BIAB.
I've got:
1 can Coopers Dark Ale
1 can Coopers Bavarian Lager
1 packet (1kg) Coopers Brew Enhancer 1 (it's not essential to use this, but if I can work it in I will)
I was thinking of doing a couple of mini-mashes and making an American pale ale and an English-style dark ale. Any comments on these?
English dark ale
1 can Coopers Dark Ale
500g Coopers BE1
500g light dried malt extract
300g pale malt (mini-mash)
100g choc malt (mini-mash)
10g Fuggles @ 60 minutes (4.2% AA)
10g Fuggles @ 20 minutes
10g Fuggles @ flamout
Possibly dry hop with 10g Fuggles?
S-04 yeast
American pale ale
1 can Coopers Bavarian Lager
500g Coopers BE1
750g light dried malt extract
400g pale malt (mini-mash)
100g light crystal malt (mini-mash)
10g Cascade @ 60 mins (5.9% AA)
15g Cascade @ 20 mins
15g Cascade @ flameout
US-05 yeast
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Oliver
