I'm about to brew my third Pre-Hopped Coopers kit.
I'm still trying to get the best out of it but there's so many different ways I'm considering after reading other posts on the forum.
The first one I brewed was the Coopers Australian Lager. I followed the instructions that came with the kit and add a full 1 Kg pack of Dextrose. Unfortunately I now have something that tastes like an fizzy apple juice.
I read that this must be caused by too much dextrose so I used a mix of DME (500g) and Dextrose (500g) on my second one (Coopers Irish Stout). It's currently conditioning in the bottles but the sample tasted way much better.
For my third one, I'm mixed between these ideas:
- 2 Coopers pre-hopped cans with no addition
- Around 2 or 3 lbs or DME only without Dextrose
- A mix or DME and Dextrose as I did on my last batch
What's your opinions on this ?
Thanks !
