dark ale

Coopers Dark ale - easy to make homebrew. Costs about 25 dollars for 55 beers - alot cheaper then 22$ for a 12 pack here in Nova Scotia. Dont be fooled into thinking homebrew is complicated or difficult to make - it really is as easy as Craigtube shows - and beer turns out great!

Cheers

I'm making a brew of that right now. Started it on Sunday and it's just gone nutz! How many days did you let it go before you bottled it up?

[ivanhalfpint]

It spent about a week in the primary bucket and about 2 weeks in the seondary glass Carboy - what did you add to the kit?

I do all grain and mini mash, but when i did extract i made a really good porter.

one coopers dark ale, 1 kg of white sugar, 3 cups of black coffee, and later on if you want you can put vanilla in the bottles. with or without the vanilla it tasted awsome :D

Coopers kits are crap!!! Stop giving kudos to CraigBoob! He doesn't know what the hell he's doing, and if you follow his instructions, you don't know what the hell you're doing either! "Better than anything you can get in any store." Yeah, if you live in Saudi Arabia!

I split the batch. In one vessel I have 4 gallons of wort, all the yeast from the kit primed in a starter, after four days I added 2 pounds of corn syrup. The 2nd batch is in a gallon ( Canadian gallon eh! ) & I did that one with 3/4 of a packet of L118 champagne yeast. On the third day of that one I added a pound of buckwheat honey. The hydrometer reading today was 1.016 in the gallon at 23C & the big carboy was 1.012 at 21C. I'm using a heat pad to keep the temp up. Dang, it was 6C last night!
