Davidt15 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'm sure someone can help me here. Did read somewhere there was a calculation to convert the listed IBU's on Coopers site for it's Hopped Cans. Eg European Lager = Bitterness - 340IBU Using brewing software the IBU's for a lager is around 18-30IBU's. can someone help please as I want to use some hopped cans I have on hand as a base to add extra hops too, so need to know where I'm starting from. Cheers Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joules Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Link broke. Still got an Coopers IPA I want to use up - but need to know the IBU's. Thanks. NEVERMIND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 G'day joules, this may be helpful, FAQ, go to Product Info, then The quoted Coopers Beer Kit bitterness and colour figures seem very high! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joules Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Cool man yeh! Any idea on the IBU of "Home Brand - Home Brew Draught" ? Got it super cheap for $3 or something. My idea is to use these kits mainly for the extract as I'm doing alot of small batch all grain (just finished an English Ale today @ 11ltrs) so I need to know the IBU's when I scale up. But my brother likes to drink my beer now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the specs but I've also been picking up home brand lager and draught cans on the cheap and have just been using the specs for the coopers OS series namesakes and have found they brew up very similar, maybe a tad darker.* *Not science just average homebrew guestimation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joules Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 My idea is to use these as extract in a partial mash+extract brew. So for example Coopers Draught I will use as a LME and adjust for bitterness (31IBU @ 23 liters). Would be pretty close to 50:50 extract(1.7kg in this case):mash Anyone tried this?
