CraigsALE Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hey PB2 or anyone that knows. I took all the kit yeasts from the lids and put them in the fridge. Which is which. I didn't label. I got real ale and english bitter and Coopers selection draught and pilsener kits. Gold packets and white packets. Can anyone confirm if the Gold packs are ALE and the White ones are lager yeasts. THe pils and says it has a true lager yeast and with cooler wather I want to use the lager yeast for my pils or draught.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biermoasta Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 From this post you will be able to identify the yeasts based on the code printed on the sachet: http://www.coopers.com.au/the-brewers-guild/talk-brewing?g=posts&t=1803 The Real Ale and English Bitter both have the same yeasts (in the gold packets). The Traditional Draught yeast is a mixture of both ale and lager yeasts and comes in a white packet, the code stamped on the packet should end in "PS". The Pilsner has a true lager yeast and comes in a white packet, the last part of the code on the yeast packet should read "P". The white packets are from the Thomas Coopers range, the other ranges have gold packets, so the colour of the packet has nothing to do with it's contents.

CraigsALE Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yeh I knew about that link just wasn't sure what the P and PS meant. Now it is all clear. I am doing Traditional Draught for the Mrs so I will user the Lale yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigsALE Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Any suggestion for a dry hop on this. In stock I got Hallertau, Cascade. Amirillo and POR. I don't think I will be using POR for dry hop, I know that much. I am doing default recipe, TC Traditional draught with 1.5 KG tin Light Malt coopers extract.

Snags Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'd try the Hallertau. [joyful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I will be using POR for dry hop, I know that much. I am doing default recipe, TC Traditional draught with 1.5 KG tin Light Malt coopers extract. This kit is already aroma hopped with cascade, so if your looking to increase aroma I would just go with the cascade. In saying that it is good to experiment, so maybe go with the Hallertau as Snags suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
