Coopers Real Ale

Post by astrogeek »

I have a tin of Coopers Real Ale lying around and I don't know what to do with it. I want to end up with a beer that has a nice hop flavour. Anyone got any good ideas.

P.S. No bloody BE1 or BE2

I did a nice one a while back with a can of Coopers pale malt, 40g amarillo for 20mins, and 20 cascade dry hopped.

And probably some crystal- say 200g or so.

I did a Mountain Goat Hightail clone with a tin of that and it turned out fantastic.

If I did it again I'd probably swap to Cascade for flavour/aroma and use some US-05 yeast.

Oh, and the one that I did used a Coopers re-cultured yeast.

Sorry to use the F word for the first time in a long while, but perhaps some Fuggles would be good in it. Fuggles are traditionally used in English ales.

With all the cascade and amarillo in mine, it very quickly turned into an APA. With "F" and "G" (goldings) you will get a nice amberish ale. Or add lots of hops and get an IPA.

I probably would have described the differences as English Ale - American Ale. But thats just me :P

I thought that was suggested- not that it really matters.

You two never stop Chris and chris. :lol:

Always good for a laugh :wink:

Real Ale, I did a 1 kg of LDM with 20g Saaz :shock: 15 Mins Boiled/Steeped with malt.

Nice IMO, mind you this was early in the piece, so anything with hops was exceptional :lol:

Cheers
