Adding to Coopers Lager

[GingerNuts81]

Doing two batches of Lager for my son. Going to use a Lager yeast, probably Saflager W34-70 for both.

Plan on fermenting around about 12 celsius, since I am going away and not sure how long till I get home. 

 

Was thinking tin of Coopers Lager, 1kg of BE2, 250g Light Dry Malt and 250g Brewing sugar

then 1 tin lager, 1kg BE2, 250g Light dry malt and 200g Dextrose.

 

Was thinking the first one will be a little more body, whilst the second one will be more dry finishing. Does this sound right? 

(sadly no funds or time to get Hops etc)

I would suggest swapping the brewing sugar and the dextrose extras to more LDME. The malt will be better for the beer than extra sugar. I'm not sure you will see much difference in the finish as the maltodextrine is only 50g different.

Doesn't seem to bad, I am not a fan of the lager tins the only time iv used them was with these additions which made a ok RIS. Sounds like you are using bits and pieces from other brews but a little dex isn't to bad but more LDM will always make a better beer.

Good luck with the brew.

Why not make the same recipe with different yeast? You'll be surprised at the difference. Could use two strains of lager, or a lager and a clean-finishing ale
