Alternative to Brew Enhancer 2

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am about to brew my first Coopers Kit (Australian Pale Ale) which I have managed to source here in Switzerland where I am now living. I haven't been able to get hold of Brew Enhancer 2 which is what is suggested.

I can get hold of malt extract in powder form and brew body (malto-dextrines) though. Does anyone have an idea if a combination of these would be a decent substitute to BE2 ? I can get BE2 from the UK but the postage is a bit on the hefty side (not to mention customs charges...)

Thanks in advance for any ideas !

Welcome to the Coopers Forum stquinto.

 

If it were me I would just use anywhere between 1 and 1.5 kg of dry malt powder. In my opinion it will make a nicer beer than BE2 will anyway. Either that or liquid malt extract in brewers quality, not the food grade stuff.

like what morrie said...

using 1-1.5kg of LDM or light dry malt will give the beer better taste, mouth feel and give it a better head.

I use it compared to a mate who uses BE2 and he always seems to struggle to get heads on his beer
