Coopers Original Lager reviewed by Boingk
This was my brothers first batch and it
turned out a treat. We used the kit and
500g each of Coopers light dried malt
and Dextrose, as well as 10g of Pride of
Ringwood hopping boiled for 15min in a
few cups of water. Volume was 22L.
Fermented temp was kept lowish, down to
15-16′C. After this I wasn’t home for
bottling so it was bunged in a spare
fridge for a few(!) weeks. After it was
bottled and conditioned it was one of
the finest beers I have tasted, clean,
clear and crisp with no signs of poor
technique or recipe. This is possibly
because of the ‘cold conditioning’ it
had while in the fridge. Try this method
if you can, even only a few days might
help, it produced a ripper of a beer.
Good base kit, 4 stars. – Rating:4/5
