Hello,
Newbie kit and kilo maker here from new zealand .I use coopers (runs) original kits as there very cheap and I find the least offensive of them so far to be real ale (although haven't tried the stout).I like it as it has ,compared to the lighter coopers, some seemblence of taste imo,I like the bite that it has.
Anyways I wanted to tart it up some/experiment etc and got some hops from home brew shop and he said they should be okay for flavour/dry hopping.
My question is can I make something decent from the following ingredients as in ideas of how long/amounts of hops to boil/dry hop.Or will I need another more appropriate hop.
1 can 1.7kg coopers real ale
beer enhancer 1kg malt/dextrose ratio unknown
100g/3.5oz styrian golding (NZ) 7.2%
I only have an 8 ltr boil pot.
My idea pre any guidance would of been to boil the beer enhancer and 1 ounce of hops for 15 minutes then add the beer kit in last 5 minutes to mix and then top up in fermenter and then dry hop after 5 days with another 1oz for a week or 2.Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
