Red devil 44 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Transferred my Double Batch AG Coopers XPA Clone from cube to fermenter today. ‘My brother loves my Craft Beer (but knows nothing about brewing so calls the fermenter Sputnik), so that’s its nickname now. ‘Pressure Ferment at 19 degrees for around 10 days, then ramp to 21-22 for 2 days, then CC & keg. ‘Smelt divine going in the fermenter. Calculations out though, came in at 1040, I calculated and adjusted my recipe in Brewfather to 1035, still getting used to Brewfather. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Micky Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Both batches - Coopers Hefe wheat beer and the Coopers Pale ale. SG: both at 1.020 on day 7 Hefe fermented with Lalle Munich and the PA using Notty. Can I just say a quick test of the Hydrometer sample of the Hefe was very very drinkable even at 20 degrees and without the fizz. I think it's gonna be a fine beer - fingers crossed. Hefe Wheat beer; Coopers Pale Ale; 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I found this on Instagram from a LBHS site, they reckon it's pretty close to the original Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I might try it. Beer Style Ale, Pale Ale Flavour Profile Pine, Citrus, Spicy Alcohol Content about 6 % Volume 23L Ingredients 1 tin Coopers Bootmaker Pale Ale (1.7kg) 1 tin light malt extract (1.5kg) 1kg dextrose 200g Caramalt infusion (1 pack) 100g Cascade hops M44 - Mangrove Jacks US West Coast yeast Steps 1. Add Caramalt infusion pack to at least 500ml of warm (68C) water. Steep for 15minutes. 2. Add 40g hops to a bowl of hot water. Steep for 15 minutes. 3. Add the two brew cans and the bag of dextrose to the sanitised fermenter, with 2-3 litres cold water, and stir to dissolve. 4. Strain the malt and hop liquid into the fermenter, using a mesh strainer. 5. Top up to the 23 litre mark with lukewarm or cold water (refrigerated if necessary) to get as close to 20C as possible. Sprinkle the dry yeast then fit the lid. 6. With 4 days to go in fermentation (day 10), add the rest of the hops (use a hop sock if you like) 7. Bottle or keg around day 14, or as close as you can after. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone boy Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 On 1/8/2023 at 1:39 PM, Tone boy said: In my FV is the Coopers ROTM - Super Slurper Hazy IPA. It’s a 20 litre concoction with the wheat beer kit as the base. Also my first time using golden naked oats, and cryo pop hops. This recipe only has 50g of hops added, which doesn’t seem like much for an IPA…So I’m thinking of upping the dry hop (the dry hop is only 25g of Nelson Suavin). then again perhaps I should just stick to the recipe for once!! Well today I dry hopped the IPA. As predicted, I was unable to stick to the recipe. For the dry hop I threw in: 25g Nelson Suavin ( this is in the recipe) 25g Motueka 30g Galaxy See how it goes… 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would either pull back on the Dextrose (say 500g tops) or go BE3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Shamus, they say it's there to bring the ABV up, but I am thinking BE3 would still do the job without thinning it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remove the hops after three days to avoid grassy notes/flavours. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Charlie Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Coopers APA with 1.5kg LDME, trying Kveik voss for the first time and will dry hop it with galaxy. I fired up the second fermenter, no fridge control, hence using kveik. It fired up within hours yesterday nice and quick at 30º, however this morning I found it had stalled at 22º . Out with the heat belt and she is happily bubbling away again. I never thought I would be using a heat belt in summer, when I didn't need it in winter? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBillett09 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Just put in a batch of the Coopers Sweet Nectar Kolsch, first time using the new brew fridge/Inkbird setup so it will be good. Mr Beer Golden Ale 1.3kg Capilano Pure Honey 250g Lallemand Kolsch dry yeast will dry hop with 25g Challenger hops. I like the peace of mind the Inkbird gives of a stable temp! Only problem is it seems there’s no 2.4ghz WiFi nearby to use the app.. bummer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
