Coopers Sparkling Ale

Sparkling ale by rosie @ 27, Apr 2010
Brewed at 22C with 600g dextrose, 200g corn syrup & 400g LDME. Used kit yeast, tastes just like the real thing, and the wife likes it, so a big plus. If you like sparkling ale this is an excellant kit.

Malty by Dr.JD - Email Reviewer @ 31, Jan 2010
Brewed this one with 1 x can of Morgan's Lager Pale Extract + 500g LDM + 250g Dex. Fermented at 18C~21C for 10 days. Very malty with clean finish. The maltiness stands out and gives the impression of heaviness. For me 2 glasses of this in one sitting is enough flavor wise. I would add POR hops next time to "cut" through some of the maltiness. Still excellent beer !

A nice beer, but... by Parrothead - Email Reviewer @ 22, Nov 2009
Made this up with Sparkling Ale beer kit, 1.5kg Light Malt Extract, 500gm Light Dry Malt Extract, and some Dextrose. This is the contents of the package from MakeBeer.net. Now, the kit was a bit out of date, but not by much. The result is more malty and less hoppy than the commercial product. In and of itself, it's still a very nice beer, but not what I was expecting. I will try this one again, and shoot for getting it made before the expiration date - and maybe add some hops. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks!

Very nice by DwayneC - Email Reviewer @ 25, Dec 2008
I purchased the kit off makebeer.net and I am thankful that read all the advice posted. This was the 3rd batch that I brewed and by far the best and the one factor that was pointed out a few times is let it age. I did try it after 3 weeks after botteling and there wes a very heavy malt flavor and I was kind of dissapoianted at first, but after letting it age 3-4 month WOW is all can be said about this kit. I even it has been ranked as one of my all time faves the only down side it making sure I do not run out and it has proven to be very popular on my block. Nice work every one at Coopers

This was made up as per the tin directions, following them to the letter. The tin contents plus 1500g liquid light malt, 500g light dried malt, 300g dextrose and the stock yeast were made up to 23L and fermented at 21-23'C. Bottled of after 7 days and let sit for a month, after which it provided an absolutely marvelous beer with quite a kick. I honestly think this beer is a good addition to anyones stores, give it a shot. Marvelous kit, marvelous recipe. Good work, Coopers ;D

pretty damn good by big dog - Email Reviewer @ 31, Jul 2008
Put this kit down with 1.5kg Coopers Pale malt tin, and 750g BE2 because no LDME at the supey (i really should have just waited a week or so) and 12g Cluster (steeped 20 mins for aroma), and recultured coopers pale yeast. After 3 months is an awesome beer, and only going to get better. Very yeasty, malty, and the cluster adds a little character. Needs maybe a month to smooth out more edges, but gee this is a good kit beer

coopers SPA by stef - Email Reviewer @ 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.

Unbeatable by FazerPete - Email Reviewer @ 14, Oct 2007
Made with 1kg LDME, 200g dex, 25g Tettenanger @15 min, 20g E.K. Goldings at flameout, US-05 yeast up to 21 ltrs. Fermented at 18c for 7 days, kegged and drinking a few days later. Fabulous beer with great body that isn't going to last long. Best of the Coopers range in my opinion.

OMG by phil48m - Email Reviewer @ 20, Aug 2007
Awesome. Brewed as per kit instructions, pitched at around 26deg (OG 1060) and then left at that temp for 2 days until I notice an off odour. I was advised by a workmate to drop temp to 18 - 20 deg. Did so, and finally the odour went away (FG 1014) Bottled and stored for 1 month. Was sceptical about how it would turn out, but oh mamma what a beer. Taste is devine, head retention all the way down. Iam sure that if I have any more than two longnecks I will walking o the ceiling. I have just got to brew again. (doing all the wrong thing the same)
