Bazzak Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hey Guys, I am just about to start brewing again, have been out of the game for a few years with moving and life etc. I am going to start nice and easy and do a toucan with the Coopers real ale and Australian pale ale cans with 1kg of light dry malt, using the 2 kit yeasts. I am looking for some suggestions on which hops to use to do a dry hop that would suit this recipe, or if you have any suggestions for the recipe itself. I don't have any grain to steep at the moment unfortunately. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzak Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Actually, I just found an can of Brew A IPA extract, I might replace the APA with that and bitter it up more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi @Bazzak, Galaxy and just about any other hop you can choose go well. But I think you already know that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you already know that. Thanks mate, I have been out of the game for so long, I've forgotten most of what I knew, particularly about hop characteristics. I think I used Motueka once in a hop slam that was pretty good. I see there's a few new hops around too, so will need to do more research. Hope to get the brew going today and can grab some hops in the next few days for a dry hop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foresooth Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hi Bazzak - I am like you, returning after some years not brewing. I am like you and have forgotten much of what I learnt int he past so I have started with a Toucan approach. Have only on one batch so far, an English bitter with a dark ale influence. As I am not a big fan of foward bitter hops flavour I can't be much help here but just wish you well and hope you enjoy the journey again. Cheers!
