JimInCollie Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Your ROTM recipe for COOPER'S VINTAGE ALE says to add 1kg Dextrose in addition to 1.7 kg Thomas Cooper's Family. Secret Amber Ale and 1.5kg TC Wheat Malt Extract. Seems like an excessive amount of fermentables to me!! URGENT ADVICE NEEDED JimInCollie 0428 396 052 Many thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The beer is meant to be around 7.5% abv. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I looked at that one and it's a strong brew, too strong for me, I'd drop some of the dextrose to bring down the ABV But What Would I Know? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Yes, as @PaleMan says the recipe is for an ale of 7.5%ABV so the fermentables seem to be in line with that objective. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimInCollie Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Thanks to all of you, Kmar92, DavidM, Pale Man, Jennysis, and Shamus, for your replies. I missed the 7.5% bit. I have added the kilo of dextrose and I am looking forward to a nice string brew to add to my keezer in a couple of months. Kind regards, Jim JimInCollie 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
