David Martin Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hi all does any one have a good receipt for coopers sparkling ale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gag.Halfrunt Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I thought this had been discontinued. Last time I made it I used 1kg lme and 500 grams dex. Resulting beer was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Martin Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Well I am new at this so don’t know i just like the original sparkling ale red label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gag.Halfrunt Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I think they now market the kit beer as Innkeeper's daughter sparkling ale. It replicates the commercially sold stuff pretty closely if you make it to the can instructions. Its a good drop. Give it a go, nothing to lose and everything to gain.

porschemad911 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Most important bit to hitting the flavour of the real thing is the Coopers commercial yeast reactivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmaril Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I was really disappointed with the Innkeeper's Daughter kit. The can says add 1.5kg of light dry malt. But the recipe online says to also add 1kg of Dextrose. I wish I had known that! I got something that was overly malty and nothing like the original Coopers Sparkling. I've got another can up my sleeve, where I will add the 1kg of Dextrose as well, but also contemplating a hop addition of some sort, as the first batch is pretty bland.

The recipe suggestions on the brew cans are aimed at the novice (or kit & kilo) brewer who just pulls Coopers DIY products straight off the shelves & mixes them directly in their fermenter & pitches the yeast that comes with the brew can. You are obviously slightly further along than a complete novice or kit & kilo brewer so largely ignore the brew can recipes. The Coopers DIY recipe: Sparkling Ale is aimed at those a bit more advanced brewers looking to recreate a beer more closely representing the commercial beer. This particular recipe does NOT use 1kg of added dextrose as you mentioned, but only 300gms. It also uses the re-cultured commercial ale yeast from suitable Coopers commercial ale bottles that is a MUST to use if you wish to re-create the Coopers Sparkling Ale flavour(s) in this recipe. I've brewed this DIY recipe as listed & it turned out very close to the commercial version. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Will take your advice on board, and note my mistake re 1kg dextrose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If you're not too keen on re-culturing the commercial ale strain from the bottle you can always buy the strain ready for use. https://www.ibrew.com.au/products/white-labs-wlp009-australian-ale This is reportedly the Coopers commercial ale strain. Personally, I'd rather pay approx. $18 & get a six pack of great beer to drink as well as the yeast, than pay $12 for just the yeast. $1 per beer....winning! Cheers, Lusty.
