PB2 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 That's about right. A 1.7kg can + 500g Light Dry Malt + 300g Dextrose mixed to 23litres should be around the 1032 - 1034 mark. Just a note here:- Using the Coopers fementing Vessel, in most cases, actual 23litres is half-way between the 22 and 23 litre mark on the side wall.

weggl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Big W did not have \u201cOriginal Stout\u201d so I bought a can of white label stout, will this be ok with the 500 g of DME? Warren [innocent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 One more question on stout. Will pale ale yeast be ok in stout? Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Sure, the yeast supplied with the Australian Pale Ale beer kit will work okay as will the commercial ale yeast cultured from the Coopers Original Pale Ale - this is the same yeast used in all our commercial ales (our stout is an ale, just very black [biggrin] ) 500g of LDM will give a nice full bodied, midstrength stout.

Muddy Waters Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 G'day Warren - I just saw your email and sent this link with what I think is the best recipe to replicate Cooper's Best Extra Stout It sounds like your doing another recipe. The white label stout will most probably be crap but give it a go just so you know. I'd strongly recommend doing the 2 can stout when you get the chance - If Big W doesn't have the ingredients try Woolies as they usually have the Original Series in stock. EDIT: ....sorry, yes the pale ale yeast'll do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks Paul, the yeast i was speakin[roll] g about was cultured yeast from Pale Ale. Shame i got the wrong stout, but Woolies at Brookvale dont stock homebrew anymore. Also I just bought a stainles pot with a glass lid from Big W IT IS 300MM DIA ANT 450mm deep for $11.80 was maked at around $20 but $12 at the check out.Ithink it is 12 litres. Tried to work it out but kept comming up with around 30 litres, it aint that big. Maybe there is some that are good at maths who can give the correct answer. Also dont know how I got thre name "warrene" it should have been "weggl"? Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hey Muddy, do Coopers make "crap"?[innocent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 [rightful] They most certainly do not make crap! I thought you were talking about home brand stout. If you got the Coopers brand stout with the white label then you did get the Original Series Stout which you said they didn't have. I'm getting confused I think I'll go and lie down a few minutes [sideways] C'mon Warren - Go back to Big W and grab a can of the Coopers Dark Ale (the one with the white label [biggrin] ) and mix it with the Stout and do PB2's 2 can screamer recipe. You wont regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Stop looking; just looked at the receipt the pot is 19 litres. Guess I will have to take a trip to Dave\u2019s at Nth Sydney to get the correct stout. Yes Muddy I am making a new brew this will be my 13th since I started in October. Had one stuff up, but I guess that ok for a newbie. Have to make them quickly because all my mates keep drinking the bloody stuff. I am trying to get some in the bottles over a month old and at the rate it disappears I\u2019m having a struggle. Thanks for your help.

Muddy Waters Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Your best getting the original series from the supermarket. Dave will charge you an arm and a leg for it. Which Big W did you go to? I was just at the mall and they had a heap of the stout cans. By the sounds of things you already have the right stout????? BTW - Stout needs at least 6 months in the bottle to start getting good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Just checked the small print both cans sat "original series" looks like i'm up and running. Sorry to cause you to have to lie down, but this is what happens when you help people, the can be a strain at times. [joyful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Also confused ofer PB'2 screamer stout, one repice says 500DME no sugar,the other says 1kg sugar no malt. This is enough to make me go and lie down. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Info on how to change your alias here 1kg of sugar, did I say that?? [pinched] Is there a particular recipe you are planning to follow?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Dont know if you said it Paul, have read repices claimed to come from you with 1 kg sugar. I plan to follow your 2 can stout,old 500g Dex. Also got it wrong it is Coles at thr Brookvale Mall who no longer sell homebrew products. Yea I got both "correct" cans from Big W. Dont think I can wait 6 months, will 1 do?[annoyed] Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weggl Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 One more question for Muddy, Paul, or whosoever, what is the difference between the Coopers yeast in the white packet and the yeast in the gold packet? Warren [lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Info on yeast is here [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Sorry Paul, but the packets of yeast i have are gold with date but no leters the white[cool] packet has date + PS, the only one with letters. so what are the gold ones? Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just a julian date on the gold sachet means the yeast inside is our own ale strain, developed by Dr. Jon, his PhD included the development of this yeast strain [cool] This is not the same as the commercial ale yeast strain.

weggl Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Brewed Paul\u2019s 2 can stout 1 stout, 1 dark ale with DME, not sugar on Thur 30 Dec Pitched the yeast at 24C temp it shot up to 27C got the temp down slowly 24 on Sat, 22 Sun and 19 today Mon. Had a bit of a blow out at 18L, topped up to 23L on Sun. I am wondering if the increase in the temp would have done any damage? Also I forgot to take an OG. Could somebody let me know what Paul\u2019s 2 can stout\u2019s OG should be at 23 L and what to expect the FG to be? Thanks Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Assuming 500g of Dry malt was added, OG might have been around the 1056 mark?? Being an all malt brew, the SG may not get below 1012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
