From the Coopers web-site:-

'It may be served slightly less chilled, if desired.'

Of course, no need to serve it at 5C. :lol:

From Coopers Website
To calculate the bitterness of the brew: multiply the quoted product bitterness by the weight of the product (1.7kg)* and divide by the total brew volume (normally 23 litres).


So (590*1.7)/23 =43.6

Colour works the same (though taking additions need to be taken into account so

(420*1.7)/23 = 31

Though my brews rarely get above 20l. :twisted:
Who's the first to see how much foam this throws up?
