JerryF Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi all. On most beer kits that I have used, they give you a range of what OG should be, and another range of what FG should be. I can't seem to find this info anywhere for the Coopers kits. Any help would be considered kindly.[biggrin] Mexican Cerveza and Wheat I currently, different kits are on the big boat on their way.

Hairy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Welcome to the forum Jerry. I assume the 'big boat' reference means you are not in Australia. The answer to you question depends on what you add to the kit. What was or will be your recipes for those kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryF Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi Hairy, PI for the last 10 yrs or so. But anyway one complete kit plus 500g DME, and cut the water back to 19L. Coopers recommended switching DME for the Enhancer 2, but if I wanted to drink water, I just drink San Miguel, as it used to be a lot cheaper than beer kits. But those days are history. Still I have other kits that I bought before I knew what was what, still need to know expected OG on coopers kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kearnage Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Jerry, the Coopers kit gives you roughly the same fermentable material as 1.7 kg of liquid malt extract. There are a few calculators around (best regarded as guides rather than 100% accurate) that can help. I get an OG of 1030 and FG 1008 with the kit alone in 19 L. Add 500g LDM and I get 1041 - 1011 in 19 L. Cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 THIS Calculator should give you an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryF Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 OK guys, I'll wing it and it all comes down to taste. If it sucks, going to blame someone I don't know. I will come back and shoot the breeze at another time, got too much stuff going on right now. Thanks again.[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not good enough considering it appears exactly what you asked for? You will be battling to find something that will give you exact information because there are so many other factors. The link I provided will only be .001 or .002 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
