so im trying a toucan

[MichaelJ13]

so i keep reading about people doing toucans lately so i thought i might give one a shot, i just wanted to run it by you guys to make sure im not going to make something that tastes terrible.

 

so im thinking

1 x coopers APA

1 X coopers canadian blonde

300g dex

200g crystal malt

25g nelson sauven 2 minute boil

1L starter of rinsed US-05

 

so what do ya recon? and also what kind of alchohol content would that be? and will that yeast be ok or should i make a bigger starter?

Should be quite nice Mike. [happy]

 

If you have any Cascade or Centennial in the freezer you may want to couple them with the NS to stop it from dominating, but depends on your tastes.

 

I may be putting a big ol' 'kick me' sign on my arse, but I have only ever used 1L starters for my ales, no matter what the gravity, and they have always been absolute MONSTERS! [devil]

Hi Michael try this it will give you an idea of the expected ABV. It will let you play around with fermentables etc when working out recipes.

Philbo is spot on, Cascade will compliment your recipe beautifully
