Hey all,
Made a brew up on Saturday night i have put the recipe below for comments and opinions.
Can of Coopers Dark Ale,
1.5kg of light liquid malt extract
1.66 kg of marris otter, mashed for an hour.
boiled the marris otter wort and the LME (about 11 litres) with the following hop additions
20g galena for one hour.
30g Pacific Gem 15 minutes,
30g Pacific Gem 5 minutes.
Added in the can of coopers at flameout. so 26 litres went into the fermenter. I used Safale us-04.
I will dry hop with approx 40 grams of pacific Gem after 7 days in the fermenter for a further 7 days.
Im really hoping to get some of that blackcurrant aroma from the pacific Gem.
