I am going to try to make a Coopers Botanical as soon as my Nectaron hops from Kegland arrive. I have the juniper berries. The recipe I found on line ingredients are: 1 x 1.7kg Thomas Coopers Bootmaker Pale Ale. 1 x 1kg Coopers Brew Enhancer 3. 2 x 500g Coopers Light Dry Malt. 1 x 50g Nectaron Hops. 1 x 25g Juniper Berries. 1 × Coopers Commercial Yeast Culture (or use the supplied brew can yeast) Is this what you used? Did you keep your brew at 18deg? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you keep your brew at 18deg? Yes @jennyss that’s what I used. I followed the recipe. I used the can yeast and a spare coopers ale yeast. I kept it on 18.5 degrees (I think, my record keeping got a bit slack). OG 1056. FG 1016. Fermented for 10 days and now it’s three month old Edited August 15 by Brauhaus Fritz II 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you keep your brew at 18deg? I made mine up to 27 litres. I added 300g Of Light Dry Malt plus 300g of Sugar to keep it around the same ABV. I also used 60g of Nectaron hops instead of 50g. I kept the Juniper Berries at 25g because that's what came in the RotM I bought from Coopers. Fermented with Coopers Commercial Ale yeast. 18°C for three days then up to 20°C for 3.5 days once SG had dropped below 1.020. Then cold crashed for 4 days. OG was 1.055. FG was 1.010 Here is my side-by-side tasting notes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your brew is an AG brew, right ? Not the Coopers Kit 'n Bits Recipe Roger, Roger Ale. I've made the the Coopers Recipe and really quite liked it (Made it twice actually ) their recipe calls for bittering with 25gm of EKG (15min boil) and then a hopstand of 25g of Cascade for 1 hour, with a final dry of of 25g of Chinook. What was different about your late hop additions ? What yeast did you use? (again the Coopers recipe calls for 1 x 11.5g Safale US-05 Dry Yeast) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(again the Coopers recipe calls for 1 x 11.5g Safale US-05 Dry Yeast) Yes it was AG and I used a yeast slurry of verdant from a previous brew and I did use East Kent Golding for bittering. To get more flavour from the late addition hops I ran off 3 litres of wort into a saucepan from the cube which I had cooled to 12c in the ferment fridge. I brought it to the boil then added 30g of cascade and 30g of Stella I let them boil for 2 minutes turned off the heat then let them steep for 20 minutes in a whirlpool. I then put that into the FV and poured the 12c cube into the FV. This resulted in the wort at 19c and I pitched the yeast the resultant brew has more pronounced hop flavour which I'm really enjoying.

No worries it's not my process it's something I picked up from the net I always noticed how guys who chill their wort after the boil then do late additions were always saying how the hop aroma and flavour were excellent so I went searching on how to get the results with no chill. This rogers clone is the second one I've brewed exactly the same except for how I did the late additions and side by side the second batch is definitely way better aroma and flavour wise than the first. I reckon all my flameout, and hop stands will be done this way from now on Edited August 16 by Back Brewing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what it is about the chilling of the wort before re-heating for hop additions that enhances the hop aroma and flavour. Great outcome re the temp - that addition of the 3 litres of hop enhanced wort made it perfect for yeast pitching eh Interesting your notes on the difference of a "side by side" - that has to have sold the process for you eh I love there is just so much to learn in home brewin' Cheers again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try that with my next brew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
