Experimental Beers

[Outlaw Parrot]

Hey all,

I have planned 2 x experimental beers.

1 is "my" slight variation to the "Light Geman Bock", mine is,

1 x Coopers Real Ale

1 x Coopers Australian Pale Ale

2 x 500G Coopers Light Dry Malt

+ i'm thinking, i will add 500G of Brew Enhancer 2

 

Brew 2 is "my planned variant" to the "Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale"

1 x Coopers Real Ale

1 x Coopers Australian Pale Ale

1 x 1.5KG Brew Enhancer 2,(instead of 1KG Dextrose)

I think i will add 30G of Mt Hood

 

Comments on these 2 planned brews please. I have the ingredients.

Cheers,

Parrot

check how much yeast you will need to ferment both of these

Hey Yob,

I hadn't really thought about the yeast yet, but i have 35g of dry yeast on hand.

Could you tell me how to work out exactly the right amount of yeast to use please ?

 

I also have some hops in the fridge, 15g of UK Fuggles and 50g of Williamette [wink]

Cheers,

Parrot

Not sure about the Bock, but I will ask if you have aleady brewed the ESVA according to the recipe? Not sure what the addittion of maltodextrin will bring to this brew but I know, that with 1 kg of Dextrose and 250g of Crystal 270, this brew at 37 weeks is [love] . Perhaps if you want to add body without using spec grains, using Coopers Brewing Sugar might do the trick. I say this because I think its Dextrose that raises the ABV and adds to the complexity of the beer with age.

Hey all,

Thanks for the advice [cool]

Ok, the ESVA, i will mix,

1 x Coopers Australian Pale Ale

1 x Coopers Real Ale

1KG Brewing Sugar

15g Fuggles and 15g Willamette

 

The other mix, will be,

1 x Coopers Australian Pale Ale

1 x Coopers Real Ale

500g Detxrose

500g Brewing Sugar

500g LDM

25g Willamette

Both brews will be to 21 litres.

Cheers,

I use Mr Malty

 

adjust settings to Metric, use the Dry Yeast Tab, plug in your OG and how many L and calculate.

Hey Yob,

Thanks for that, Mr Malty looks a great calculator to use.

Now i just need another FV and truck load of bottles [lol]
