TheChadxxx Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I just picked up a real ale tin and BE2 and I’m looking for cheap and easy ideas to improve on it. Nothing fancy. I was thinking maybe some honey. Anyone got any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any suggestions Mate I just bottled a Real Ale, I have done quite a few of them, it is great as it is why would you add anything & spoil the natural taste, other than some hops of course, I like it as much as I do Pale Ale, I wouldn't add anything it is fine as it his IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing fancy. I was thinking maybe some honey. Anyone got any suggestions Here you go. Coopers Recipe Spreadsheet filtered for those recipes that use a Real Ale can. It is also used in most of the Coopers Vintage Ale recipes too. Coopers Recipe Spreadsheet V2.12.12- Real Ale.xlsx To keep it real simple you could just dry hop with a couple of those Galaxy or Cascade teabags you can get from Big W. As others have said the Real Ale can is good on its own. But it takes to additions and extras really well too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that one, but I added a 200g steep of Light Crystal Malt grains. I also did a version with a short boil, a hot steep and a dry hop with Galaxy and Cascade. It was a beauty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
