Ok Folks, Baseline stuff, play as required. This was my killer recipie before I got heavily involved in grains. Anyone interested in brewing honey may want to give it a go. You can leave out the Maple Syrup and it will still be fine. I have added ginger to this to and it is just yum

1 Coopers kit, preferably a Canadian
1 kg Pale Malt Extract (liquiud)
250 g Crystal Malt
500 g clover honey
250 g Masple Syrup
20 g Cascade (20 min left)
28 g Saaz (1 min)

Add the Crystal Malt to a grain sock (clean nylon stocking like the type the missus wears) and add it to 8 litres of water, bring to boil. Just before boiling is reached pull out the grains and stocking and strain

Ad the kit, malt and honey and boil for 1 hr with the 8 litres of water if you can, watch for boil overs.

20 min left add the Cascade,

1 min left add the Saaz and Maple Syrup

Strain into the fermentor, top up to 23 litres, pitch yeast

reckon a bit of oatmeal would go alright in this one?
the oatmeal, plus crystal, plus dried wheat malt extract (had it lying around) plus some hops plus extra dextrose...all up it's looking more like an imperial than a regular


if you're looking for my stout recipe, it's Geoff's No.94 on the website, but here tis for convenience:

****************************************
1 can Cooper's Stout
500 g light dried malt extract
1 kg dark dried malt extract
500 g Billingtons Muscovado dark unrefined sugar
Yeast from Cooper's Sparkling Ale

BREWING NOTES The brew was made using a dark unrefined sugar (as opposed to supermarket variety “raw” sugar) with a view to achieving a stout something akin to Jamaica's legendary Dragon Stout.

TASTING NOTES Had a go of it out of the fermenter. Bloody beautiful. Needed to restrain myself from drawing off glass after glass of it while bottling. Well that didn't last long … A sensational stout, much like its Caribbean progeneter.

Grumpys ginger beer kit - 1.5 kg unhopped LME? plus about 1 kg DME/dextrose/ginger/white stuff
3 sticks cinamon
4 green and 7 brown cardoman pods
12 cloves
1/2 nutmeg grated finely
300 g root ginger grated

Chris, having tried a single can coopers ginger beer, I'd be very reluctant to recommend a double dose. The coopers can seems to use excessive amounts of artificial sweetener and leaves a bad aftertaste. Best to use a single can and give it some more zing and mask the bad taste by adding a heap of grated ginger boiled in some water with brown sugar. I also add about a teaspoon each of ground cinnamen and cloves. I've got a recipe somewhere at home that I can dig out for you if you're interested.

Add some carapils
Dextrose will do the job, but ginger beer does taste good with some malt.

Ingredients
3 large pieces of ginger (about a kilo)
1 cinnamon stick
10 cloves
500g light crystal malt (I assume he means light malt)
1kg dextrose
Rehydrated wine yeast

Method
Run the ginger through a food processor then put every thing in a pot with five litres of water and boil with the lid on for an hour. After the boil, add 10 litres of cool boiled water and pitch yeast when it is at the right temp. I left all the ingredients in the fermenter until I racked it into the second one (probably 3 days). I primed the whole thing for bottling by racking a second time and adding the correct amount of dextrose.

I ended up with nineteen bottles of excellent ginger wine / beer. I don't know what the alcohol content was but it kicked arse! The cloves probably had something to do with that. I used cloves in a stout for the first time about four years ago and I overdid it. Two bottles and I didn't want to get off my chair. For hours. Cloves are a natural local anaesthetic, you can use it for tooth ache and stuff like that apparently. Well, it has more of a "general" effect when taken internally, in conjunction with alcohol at least.

this has turned out nice, although a bit lemonny.

INGREDIENTS:
Brigalow Ginger Beer Kit
Coopers Brew Enhancer (CBE)
Grated Fresh Ginger 300gm
Lemon Zest & Juice 2 ( halve this if you're not big on lemon )
Ground Nutmeg 1 tbsp
Brown Sugar 2 tbsp
Golden Syrup 2 tbsp
Ginger Pwdr 3 tbsp
Honey 2 tbsp
Cloves 2
Cinnamon 2'' stick
Champagne Yeast 10gm (2 sachets)

METHOD:
Add CBE & Fresh Ginger to 2lt of water and bring to boil.
Boil for 20min.
While this is boiling, hydrate Nutmeg, Ginger Pwdr, Brown sugar in a cup of hot water.
@ 20min add the hydrated ingredients along with Honey, Gldn Syrup and Lemon Zest.
Boil for further 10min.
@ 30min add Kit, Cloves, Cinnamon and Lemon Juice.
Boil for further 10min.
@ 40min flame out and strain into sanitised primary, top up to 23lt, pitch Champagne Yeast.
(23lt might be too much volume for some).
it went for 17 days, bulk primed with 130gm Caster Sugar and 250ml Buderim Ginger Syrup.
also @ bottling i added one " sugar cube size " of crystalised ginger.
(pick 'n' mix section at Coles)
it doesn't taste as dry as i thought it would, very gingery, but like i said a little too much lemon but not enough to bugger it.
will be nice with some ice to kickstart xmas morn.
