I fermented it at 15C, and I bought 2
additional fermentis S23, to keep the
lager character of this beer.
It’s fantastic, medium-full body,
malty, not too bitter, a slight taste of
caramel.
To do again and again….. – Rating:5/5

Coopers Heritage Lager + Brewer’s
Choice Ultra Brew
(LDM+Dex+Corn Syrup Solid). Kit yeast
worked
nicely. Fermented at 13C for 3 weeks.
Tasted at
1month. Very clean and smooth due to the
low
fermentation temp. Not sure if I’d muck
around with
this one. It will please the general
public and I find it
a nice change from full-bodied ales…

Coopers calls for 500 grams light dry
malt extract and 300 grams of dextrose.
I opted for 3 pounds of pale LME and 600
grams of dextrose. I dry hopped with
1oz. Fuggles pellets in the secondary.
Originating gravity 1043 primary
fermented for 4 days racked to carboy.
After 2 weeks in carboy it has yet to
clear but did a gravity reading and it
came in at 1002. Drank the sample and it
tasted pretty good for a beer yet to be
bottled.

Nice and hoppy just like a pub IPA in
england.
Will wait a few more weeks to see if it
clears take another reading and bottle.
The ABV should come in around 6%.
Will post again when ready.

Cheers

Added 1kg ‘Ultra Brew’ and 12g of Saaz
hops. Racked for two weeks after initial
fermentation and bulk primed. Was
disappointed, it felt thin and tasted
bland, head retention was also poor.
Improved with age (12 weeks) but still
not great. Will try again in winter with
lager yeast.

My favourite home brew kit, can be used
as a starting point for many fine amber
and dark ales. Have never had anything
other than excellent results using this
kit, just replace the yeast with Safale
and start experimenting. Add 1.5kg
Morgans Caramalt extract, 150g crystal
malt, 12g Williamette hops for my
standard amber brew.

Added 500g dextrose, 1kg of Morgan’s
dark crystal malt, 12g Fuggles tea bag.
Used kit yeast, Racked after 6 days and
bulk primed with 180g of dextrose 2
weeks after that. Had first taste after
5 weeks and had an excellent dark beer,
great head clung to glass all the way
down. – Rating:5/5

Not a stout person but I though I’ll
give it a go. Kit plus BE2 23litres.
After one month flat and very bitter,
burn taste. After 6 months need creamy
head and mellow taste. Nice to have on a
Sunday lunch time drink. Just bottled
version 2 with 1.5kg can of plain malt
extract. This one has a less burnt
taste. Still young in the bottle. More
to come. – Rating:4/5

Brewed this one with a partial mash. Kit
plus 2kg pilsner malt + 0.5kg vienna
malt mashed for one hr. yeast WB06. 23
litres. OG 1.034. 3.6%ABV after 5 weeks,
good carbonation. Lite taste. Have it
with a slice of lemon. One of the best
brew to date. If you stir up the yeast
at the bottom of the bottle tasted like
a hoegaarden. – Rating:4/5
