jase Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 attention all coopers brewers,I have just realised I have created quite possibly the greatest beer ever,(with a bit of help from coopers that is) try this out.1 tin coopers pale ale. 1 tin thomas coopers wheat malt. 500gm B.E.2. 1 bag super alpha hops. 7gm english ale yeast. brewed @ 24 deg and left to carbonate for 6+ weeks. I didnt think it was going to be any good untill the 7-8 week mark as it had a very bitter after taste, but now it is sweet, sweet nector. all hail coopers, hail pale ale, hail wheat malt.I think I'll go and have another. :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Great to hear that you have created a beer that you love and better still, you know what you did so you have a chance of repeating it!! Would be nice to know who you are, though. Have a look at this thread http://www.coopers.com.au/club/phpbb/vi ... .php?t=882 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Smurto Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 By bag of super alpha hops i assume you mean the 'teabag'? How long was it boiled for? Which english ale yeast? S-04? Sounds like a winner anonymous man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 sorry guys, updated the sign now, the hop bag was a teabag & one that was given to me & havnt seen before or since,(I have been using allot of cascade recently)I had trouble with secondry carbonation as I had no sugar in the house & primed with B.E.2 this slowed it all down and added to the confusion, but after a bit of patience, wow, the end result ends in my hype and intoxication, this recipe is so recommended to anyone who likes a euro style brew. Any details on the "super alpha hops" would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Smurto Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 info on the super alpha hops http://www.countrybrewer.com.au/category38_1.htm Very high alpha, 11-12% so more of a bittering hop than a finishing one IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 As homebrewers we don't have to be as concerned as commercial breweries are in trying to achieve value for money with bittering our brew. 8) If you like the aroma of the hop variety, regardless of the alpha rating, use it for finishing. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
