BrianS14 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I am new to the world of home brewing and interested in experimenting with new ideas with the Coopers Kits. I just bought an Austrailian Pale Ale kit but I would like to know if anyone has any great recipes to enhance the final product. I have looked through the recipe resorce but can't find anything. Should I leave it as? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***** Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have looked through the recipe resorce but can't find anything. .....? Hello Brian Lots of brewers here use the Pale kit as a base, so there should be plenty. They will range of simple recipes to some that involve spec grains and hops. Apart from the APA recipe on the can in in the how to brew section, there are some American Pale Ale and other styles. Not sure if you want an APA recipe or one using the APA kit? Here are some Mid Strengths by PB2: Coopers Mild Ale Irish Red Ale Ashes Ale Paul's Fruit Salad Ale (leave out the dex and the blueberries) Some other Brewers Tony's Mornington Pale Ale Weggl's Pale Yak Muddy's LCPA clone at post #14 Plus more LCPA attemps on page 2 & 3 Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Welcome Brian. What type of beers do you like or would like to make? And what processes are you comfortable with eg. using grains and hops? A simple but nice recipe is the Fruit Salad Ale listed in Nelson Amarillo's post. Adding 200g Crystal Malt is a nice touch to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I wish I could get this kit around my neck of the woods. It sounds really nice and so do the recipes Scott highlighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yeah Chad, I reckon the Pale is my favorite base. It's a wonder why you can't get it as it is pretty popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistnbroke Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ive got one down at the moment, was after.something with a little more smack of flavour: Can coopers aussie pale 1kg light dry malt 250g dextrose 40g cascade @ 10 mins 40g amarillo @ 10 mins 40g centennial @ 0 min. Safale us05 yeast 0 min addition was steeped for 20 mins whilst I was chilling pot.

AdamH1525226084 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I am contemplating something like this too using ingredients I have and adding some hops. 1x Can coopers aussie pale 500g light dry malt 500g dextrose 500g dark brown sugar (for some colour) 20g galaxy @20min 10g galaxy @ 0 min Kit yeast. Either galaxy or Nelson Sauvin hops perhaps, not that familiar with the taste differences yet. [EDIT] Just saw the newsletter and the Fruit Salad Ale recipe complete ingredients can be bought from the store (with free shipping) - so bought it straight away. Sounds delicious.
