I assume the Cooper's kit is 1.8 kg. with your spray malt and the maris otter ... you'll probably hit an OG of around 1040 ... go for it !

Thanks ... I bought a 5 kilo bag of Goldings in September, so I have been going for it ... vintage IPA's ... trouble is, that bag of hops got a bit old and I think the last brew will probably get turned into slug bait ... there is some cheese going on in it somewhere.
and during the winter months, lager brews for the summer. My brewery gets up to 27ðC in the summer so that makes brewing a little harder, despite the brew fridge.
