Enjoying my all grain brewing with my Grainfather (apart from the occasional flood and destroying a printer!). :doh:

Found an unbrewed coopers original lager can kit, together with beer enhancer, which I bought prior to getting my Grainfather. Obviously it would be a waste not to brew it. Was thinking of brewing it short to say 20l to get a bit more body and perhaps dry hopping it with some Galaxy hops.

What would you guys and girls recommend?:thumb:
 
I did this last year ...

B15/16 - COOPERS LAGER
Destined for long term lagering in fridge
Started 23rd August 2016 with addition of 950g Golden Syrup and 50g of Fuggles hop pellets.
Youngs lager yeast pitched at 23 degrees. Fermenting at 21 degrees in fridge.
Racked to second FV on 1st September 2016.
Lagering at 10 degrees from 1st September to 8th November.
Bottled in flip-tops 8th November 2016
OG 1.042
FG 1.010
ABV 4.2%
Kcal per Litre = 404Kcal

This brew changed my mind on Lager as a beer.

Now, rather than lager for any length of time, I would Cold Crash the brew down to one degree for a week after carbonating and then sit it on the shelf for ten weeks or so to condition.

Enjoy! :thumb:
