Coopers Australian Pale Ale by stef @ 23, Jul 2008
Can + Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 + I decided to culture yeast from 2 stubbies of CPA into a 1L starter for 2 days. At full krausen I dumped it into the mix. Also boiled 20g Pride of Ringwood hops for 30mins and 10g at flame out. Primary for 18 days at 19C, SG 1049 FG 1009. After 3 weeks in the bottle it's nicely carbonated but lacks head and tastes a little on the weak side. It does show hints of the classic CPA, mostly I think due to the PoR addition, but the 500g of dextrose in the BE2 hasn't helped. I would do the mix up to about 20L and probably just add 1kg of light malt instead of the BE2.

Coopers Sparkling Ale by stef @ 05, Jun 2008
my 2nd brew after a 10 yrs break, 1 can Coopers SPA, 500g LME, 250g dextrose, SafAle yeast, 20g Saaz steeped for 10mins then into mix, filled to 23L. Only aferwards did my brain click that this will be quote weak, I forgot the extra 1kg of LME!! Brewed at 18-20C for 7 days, bulk primied with 190g castor sugar then bottled. After 2 weeks, it tasted watery, lacked body, but pleasant saaz taste, after 2months it has mellowed and become more balanced - as easy drinker. Shame about the yeast sediment.
