Ive been looking into this too. I'm getting frustrated to the point of maybe just replacing some water with some Sars or Root Beer. Just not sure how the Preservative 211 will go in fermentation.
I know people put a liquorice stick in the stouts at the beginning of fermentation but It's still...
Hey all.
I have a Can of Coopers English Bitter and a Can of Morgan's Liquid Caramalt Extract. I was going to add them together with possibly some LDM and a small amount of hops. (if it's too sweet)
So the question is, will The Caramalt Can (60% Caramalt and 40% Pale malt) going to be too...
Use by date was in 3rd of December 2001 lol
Anyway the story is I have a big Foster's collection. I have Fosters from the 70's up to the 90's/early 2000's My mate and I had a couple of Coopers in us and decided too crack this can.
Me and my mate just opened a UK imported Fosters with the use by date of 2001.
Nose was like cheap Riccadonna and tasted like glucose and caramel. Poured a really good head and moderate carbonation.
Are we going to get sick, or die?
That's what I was going for Mate. Exactly.
I'm gonna try this asap. Ive just done a stout at 12 litres with no Dex kind of as a test run to see how the flavours come out.
I was thinking of making a small batch of Coopers Stout + Dark Ale (Classic) But don't want a huge abv (like nothing over 6%)
How would it work if I added minimal or no Dextrose to the mix and maybe less water?
Never done it before with out fermentables.
Thanks for your time.
