I'mRev Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 With only a can of Coopers extract (with supplied yeast) ...and making your own Enhancer using only Maltodextrin, Dextrose and Malt. ...and using no other ingredients. What's your favourite recipe? If it looks good, I'll try it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldbloke Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Nearly always use BE3. But is the LHBS version. It's a copy of the Coopers BE3. Straight DLM are DDM are were good also. Edited July 5, 2022 by oldbloke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cee Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Middy Lager Tin (Lagerale) with BE3 (so far this works well - work in progress) Dark Ale with LDM is quite delish too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 When I do an extract beer from Coopers basic range I use BE3 with the exception of a lighter style beer or lager, I add least 500gm of LDME or LDM but usually closer to a 1kg of extra fermentables. I use darker malts for Dark Ales/Stouts & sometimes Wheat Malt Extract or steep a quantity of grain. This to me is the guaranteed method of a full bodied gutsy beer with a lasting creamy foamy head. Brewing with Dextrose/Sugar instead of Malt just don't cut it IMO. A beer with no guts or little or no head has no place in my Bar. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 For me, Boxes of BE3 and LDM were not available very often locally, so I ordered bulk (20k) of Light Dry Malt and mixed my own. My go to session brew is usually: Coopers Pale Ale can, 1k LDM, 300g Dextrose. Can yeast. Lately I've started Steeping small amounts Carapils, Light Crystal malt, Golden Oats and hops. I've got a lot to learn but i'm loving the process Cheers 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it delivered from here, I'm not saying this is the best or best price, just which one I used and liked. https://beerco.com.au/collections/malt/products/light-malt-extract-powder-dme?variant=8208405332069 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Off to Beer Belly tomorrow to pickup some bit's and have a look around. If I don't detour it's a 202k round trip (I'm down that way so not so bad)! http://shop.beerbelly.com.au/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
