Hello
Coopers European Lager is 1 can kit with lager yeast. Instructions:
1. use of 1kg Brew Enhancer 2. This contains dextrose, maltodextrin and Light Dry Malt. Dextrose and malt will ferment, maltodextrin will not, it adds body and head.
2. Alternatively, 500g Light Dry Malt + 250g Sugar/ Dextrose may be used
Components named in instructions are not available in local store.
Plan is to use only this one instead of original recipe: http://www.brewersworldwhangarei.co.nz/shop/mangrove-jacks-reinheitsgebot-enhancer
If you click on the picture of this product, then there is written: 1,2 kg replaces 1 kg of dextrose or beer enhancer. As I understand, this is traditional dry malt extract...?
So:
1. Is it ok to only use this Mangrove Jacks enhancer to get the same amount of fermentable sugars? (probably I lose some head, because there is no maltodextrin but thats fine)
2. According to the original recipe (alternative 2) I have to use (500+250)*1,2 =900 g of Mangrove Jacks enhancer to get appr. the same OG and FG and therefore also ABV as I'd get from the original recipe. Is it correct?
Thanks in advance
