If anybody has done one of these let me know how it turned out, especially if you've drank the proper Coopers red and can compare the two.
I think i've died and gone to heaven
Has anybody done a Thomas Cooper Heritage kit?

I assume that if this is your fave beer then you are at the very least an Aussie, maybe even a croweater?
Good link for recipes for this kit that 'clone' the real CSA.

As is the case for most Aussie beers, you need the Pride of Ringwood hop. I wouldnt dry hop with it but a short boil (15-20mins) should get the extra flavour.
If you can reculture the yeast out of a bottle of the Coopers Pale Ale it would be better than the Sparkling Ale. They are the same yeast but the lower alcohol content in the pale ale will mean a more viable yeast. This yeast is needed if you want to clone the beer.
Hope this helps.

No i'm not an Aussie but spent a year in Adelaide sampling this fantastic beer. I still buy it from an online shop over here, in fact i have a crate stored away, i only drink it on special occasions!drsmurto wrote:I assume that if this is your fave beer then you are at the very least an Aussie, maybe even a croweater?

Fantastic beer, and even better on draught, you Aussies don't know how good you've got it!
Where abouts in Adelaide are you, anywhere near Para Hills? I spent most of my time there with relatives, also loads of places in and around Adelaide.
Thanks for the link but unfortunatley i'm only a begginer in homebrewing so its too advanced for me, pity as i would love to have a crack at it
