The Captain!! Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yep spot on, especially after your 7 day addition. I don’t really have that option as I fifo. I ferment for nine days, crash for five with a usual 100g plus dry hop for 5 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#granted+brew Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hello All, Just pitched the yeast in my next batch. I've gone another toucan consisting of 1.7kg Coopers Draught 1.7kg Coopers Mexican Cervesa 0.2kg Dextrose made to 25 litres 175mls rinsed slurry from my previous batch (O.S. kit yeast) & dry pitched 1 pkt O.S kit yeast at 18°C O.G. was 1.044 Still have some Cascade left over (20g) that I opted not to use in the toucan I just bottled (really liked the F.G. hydro sample so I didn't end up dry hopping) so I might dry hop this one instead First brew night in the new brewery, all went well, almost ready to start doing some experimenting with BIAB.

I’ve always been impressed with this beer looking at it, but now I have more experience with different hops and styles I think it looks like a cracking beer. Thanks mate. A few of the boys on the forum have brewed all-grain versions of the beer & enjoyed it.

For those kit brewers out there, Coopers DIY developed a very similar kit based recipe that I too have brewed, that will produce a beer very close to my extract/partial recipe. Coopers DIY Recipe: Midnight Mosaic Amber Ale It's a nice beer to be drinking this time of year. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Brew day today, converting my brother in law to the dark side that is home brewing. I kept it simple. 1.7kg Coppers English Bitter kit 1.3kg Light Dry Malt 250g Dextrose 25g Challenger - hop tea 23 litres Nottingham yeast OG - 1048 Easiest brew day I have had for a while and should produce some good beer. He is lucky; most people’s first batch is the Lager with BE1 fermented at 30 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an English Bobby so I thought that kit to be appropriate The main reason for using Challenger was that it was the only English Hop I had in my freezer. Plus I really like it. I often (but not always for some reason) get a marmalade type flavour from it which is great in an EB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't haven't having a dig about the kit brewing, just your pronunciation of "Coopers" as some new to the forum often write "Coppers" & "Larger" instead of lager. 20 minutes ago, Hairy said: The main reason for using Challenger was that it was the only English Hop I had in my freezer.
