ChrisM25 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi guys. Just got a delivery from Coopers, have a problem. The Coopers Real Ale can has a very small split in it and needs to be used ASAP. Looking for any thoughts on a good brew to put down. Being a newbie to brewing I'm not looking at anything to over the top but something that might spice up the standard recipe. I also have LDM, Tomas Coopers Amber malt extract, TC's Light malt extract, plenty of Dextrose to go around. Any suggestions would be great. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biermoasta Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I would probably go with the thomas coopers amber or light malt extract (personally I would choose the amber, but only because I like darker coloured beers). Should produce a good beer, but I would also strongly recommend dry hopping or making a hop tea with a teabag of goldings hops, which I think really lifts this kit as it has no aroma or flavour hop additions.

LeonardC2 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have to second biermoasta's suggestion. I like darker ales myself. Like amber to copper color. But 60g of hops would make a decent balance if you use the lower AA% hops. Like Fuggles,Kent Golding,Willamette,or Czech Saaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
