Guiness & Boddingtons

[ianac1]

Hi Guys

I'm looking for something to brew for my father in law from a kit that's as close to guiness and one close to boddingtons as i can get with a kit.

Any suggestions?

I can make adaptations to the kits, use malt extract, hops etc.

Hows the coopers irish stout in comparison to guiness for example?

Maybe even go for a decent IPA kit (he likes that too) if anyone could advise on the best one?

Any suggestions welcome.

Cheers

Ian

Probably best ye Don't let a Guinness drinker taste Coopers Stout, Ian. It could ruin his life. A man could for ever more hanker for the taste of Coopers and know he has to settle for Guinness instead.

Amen Brother Ditch! Coopers Irish Stout knocks the spots off Guinness IMHO of course I remember drinking it in Oz they sell it in 1ltr bottles yum yum great days Best stout to have ever passed my lips

Thanks for the input guys, i'm a guiness fan myself so i'm going to have to make coopers stout my next brew, very interested to see what it's like now.

What do you guys say, 1 can coopers stout & 1kg DME?

Also what's everyones favourite IPA?

Cheers

Coopers IPA

It is fruity with a nice hop flavour, and very drinkable.

You can do this with a kilo of malt extract or 500g + 300g of plain sugar for a drier IPA.

I use Medium DME. ome have tried Dark DME and been delighted with the results too

And,yeppers; One can and one Kg.

Thank you and thank you.

My next two batches will be coopers stout and coopers IPA, unless i can find where to find out where to make your legendary stout Ditch?

See it mentioned all over the place.

Maybe i'm blind, no jokes! but i can't find the recipe/instructions anywhere.

One Cooper's Stout kit plus two x 500g bags spraymalt.
