My Coopers Australian Lager
I'm not really sure where to post pic's.
This is my Coopers Aussie Lager at 8 weeks bottled.
Made with 500g of light spray malt & 500g of dextrose.
Came in around 5% ABV

Re: My Coopers Australian Lager
I've got to be honest, it tasted pretty at 4 weeks old
It's quite lively, as you can see from the head!

Looks like a tasty drop, What yeast did you use for it ?
Cheers

Re: My Coopers Australian Lager
I used the kit yeast and it took off like a rocket!
I think I'm right in saying that its an ale yeast.

Yes, it's an ale yeast. I'm planning on doing one of these using a "clean" ale yeast Nottingham, which gives you less of a fruity taste.Monkeybrew wrote:I think I'm right in saying that its an ale yeast.

That's an impressive head (fnarr..) How did you prime your lager?Monkeybrew wrote:I'm not really sure where to post pic's.

Re: My Coopers Australian Lager
That looks great
What temperature did you ferment it at, and, how did you prime it?
Cheers!

Re: My Coopers Australian Lager
I fermented it in February, so it was no more than 19-20C.
I primed with brewing sugar that I dissolved in some boiled water, and then added this to my 25L bottling FV before syphoning the wort in.
I used whatever amount that Coopers suggested, can't remember how much that was though
It's certainty a great drink if I do say so myself.

Re: My Coopers Australian Lager
Great to hear. I used 500g spraymalt and 500g BKE1 in my brew, and also used a shorter brewlength of 21 litres. I used this recipe for Green Neck Lager but used the Coopers OS instead of the Euro lager kit. Can't wait to try it now.

Re: My Coopers Australian Lager
I made the same with 1kg spraymalt (light) and it was a belter. Must do another.
