BirkdaleBob Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Had the pest man around the other day and he noticed my brewing setup. Said he was a home brewer-kegger also. Told him I mainly brewed Coopers, what did he brew? Said he brews Coopers Stout, but brews other brands of Ale, Lager etc because he finds that Coopers are always cloudy. I hadn't really thought about this, as I don't look at anything thru my beer. Have had a couple of cloudy ones but figured that was something I had done wrong. Do Coopers make their brews to come out cloudy (like draught Pale Ale from the pub) or is he expecting too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philby Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hasn't that fellow seen the earlier Coopers ads: :!: Cloudy, but fine :!: Goodness, that's partly the signature of a Coopers beer, well at least that's my opinion. And what's wrong with the said cloudiness if it doesn't affect the taste. In fact, I'd say the sediment and also the particles contributing to the cloudiness enhances the flavour of the home brew (and commercially available Coopers) beers. But like you said - you don't look at things through your Coopers, and if you enjoy your home brews, what else matters?? Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 The cloudiness is more likely due to the adjuncts rather than the Home Brew can contents. Every Coopers Home Brew (except Ginger Beer and the ones too dark to see through) can be fermented out to a clear beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg B Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've had some brews that tasted better clouded up. Cheers, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
