antiphile Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Way back in Apr 2007, Dr Smurto posted the following recipe for a beer similar to the James Squire Golden Ale. 1 tin Thomas Coopers Sparkling Ale 1.5kg Coopers pale liquid malt extract 15g @ 15mins 15g @ 5 mins 15g dry hopped in secondary Kit yeast It caught my eye because it looks like a simple recipe for my first experiment in using added hops. I'm guessing its's because it was 6 years ago that the liquid malt extract names may have changed. In the Thomas Cooper range there is a Light and an Amber Malt Extract. Which of these would be more suitable for that style of beer? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 That would be the light liquid malt extract. But Dr Smurto has changed the recipe since. It now uses liquid wheat malt and 250g Caramalt instead of the pale liquid malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiphile Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks for the tip, Hairy. I'll do a search for the new recipe now. Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 You will NOT regret brewing this [w00t] And yeah, use a 1.5kg liquid wheat malt So you understand the process involved in steeping grains and boiling hops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiphile Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Great advice from Hairy and King Ruddager. I bottled the Golden Ale a week ago and couldn't resist a sneak preview. I'm sure it wll get even better given the proper conditioning time, but its really bloody lovely even now. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Everything went well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiphile Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Everything went well? Yes, your highness. And surprisingly easy for a firt attempt using hops even for a novice. With all the hand-holding assistance available here, I grabbed one of the 19 litre pots ($19) when I was at Big W yesterday. It was mentioned in another current thread here, and minor success seems to lead to further experimentation. There's also a guy in Newcastle who is starting another round of courses soon on doing all grain brewing (Mark, I think). It might be a little early for me, but I'll look into it. Thanks again.
