super strength beer?

andysat · 02-28-2007, 01:10 AM

hi all, I've been brewing for about 3 years just using coopers kits and sugars for very satisfying results.Is there a recipe for a really strong beer, that would be as tasty as a coopers bavarian lager?...my favourite, I'm interested in something around 8-9%.
what happens if I mix 2 kits with 2 kgs sugar and 2 yeasts in 23 litres?
thanks andysat

Search Barley Wine Ale...it's what you're looking for (9% ABV on average, somtimes more)
