Mix
Coopers Original Series Draught Beer Kit produces a flavor and aroma suited to making Light Beer. The recipe should make a beer at approx 2.9%A/Vol.
Ingredients
1.7kg can Coopers Draught
100g Dextrose/Sugar
Method
1. Dissolve Coopers Draught and Dextrose/Sugar in 2 liters of hot water.
2. Fill fermenter with cool water to the 23 liter mark and stir.
3. Sprinkle supplied yeast over the wort surface.
4. Ferment temperature should be as close to 20°C as possible.
5. Bottle when specific gravity has reached 1.006 (or two readings the same over 24 hours).
Brew
A thinner brew (lower Original Gravity) will make a beer with less alcohol. Where possible, make the brew thinner by reducing additional sugars rather than increasing total volume (dilution of the beer kit contents will dilute the final beer flavor). In most cases dried ale yeast requires some simple sugar. Add at least 100g sucrose/dextrose in 23 liters to assist with fermentation. To avoid the risk of overcarbonation - glass bottles may explode - only bottle your brew when the fermentation process is complete. Fermentation is complete when the density of the brew remains constant over 2 days. We recommend the use of a hydrometer to check the specific gravity (density) of your brew.
