Scotch Ale – A Wee Heavy “Wee Heavy” is the colloquial term for a higher alcohol variant of the pale ale classification known as Scotch Ale. 1.7kg Thomas Coopers Sparkling Ale 1.5 Amber Malt Extract 500g CSR Brown Sugar Nottingham Yeast I used Light Malt...
It’s a highly carbonated, bottle conditioned ale, which often displays quite funky characters such as fruity, spicy, peppery, cloves, etc. The Saaz hop addition, although not necessary and not the typical type of hop for this style, adds a little bit of extra spiciness to...
After some clicking about I found a clone recipe of the very enjoyable Pale Ale from Little Creatures on Tasmania. Sadly I remembered wrong what hob’s I had laying around so I had to use Saaz hobs instead the Cascades hobs the recipe called for....
Well it was more a panic than a mistake. It was time to restock and I decided I would use what leftovers that was lying about. Popped down to the cheap shop which sells home brew stuff got a Coopers IPA, funny enough it was...
I have reached peak home brew! No more space for any more full bottles and I’m out of empty bottles. Along with that, the beer that I got brewed I can’t drink, as they need more time to condition fully. I know that there isn’t...
Tried a few Blonde/White IPAs in the States and Down Under, so when I found this one I just had to try it. This recipe is a version of an American Blonde Ale (category 6.B. of the BJCP guidelines) with some extra hop character. Sure,...

Coppers Fresh Draught recipe/ingredients: 1.7kg Thomas Coopers Traditional Draught 1.5kg Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract Used the yeast...

Well that is spring sorted: Now all I got to do, is to mix it and wait, wait and wait. Should have a batch of Fresh Draught (4.6%), American Blonde Ale (5.6%) and Authentic Ale (6.0%) when done. Since I only got one FV I...
I found on Coopers’ websites a recipe clone/lookalike (shouldn’t that be tastealinke) for one of my favorit beers – Tuborg’s Julebryg. A, in my mind, fantastic Christmas brew. There is a rather good description of the tradition with it on Coopers’ site. http://coopers.com.au/#/diy-beer/beer-recipes/strong/detail/julebryg/ Though back...
Clicking about on Coopers’ website I found this recipe, not just an IPA but an Authentic IPA. From the various reviews I read, this sounded like something I would like to try. Just a little bit extra work but still just beer from a kit,...
Well I finally did it, after many years talking about it, got myself a home brew kit. Starting simple is probably the best option for me and a Coopers DIY Home Brew kit hit the spot, which comes with bottles(PET), fermenter vessel (FV), sugar well...
Went to visit the the 8th “the Pirate edition” Skipton Beer festival yesterday. Venue: It was a bit weird arriving at a hotel for a beer festival, it really felt like I had arrived to attend a wedding, with the chandeliers and the disco balls....
