Irish Ale

A great beginner recipe - the addition of golden syrup and a lower ferment temperature helps to produce an ale with characters like those found in the imported 440ml cans with widgets!

Coopers Genuine Draught
Beer Style Ale
Flavour Profile Floral, Fruity
Alcohol Content 4.1%
Colour (EBC) 11
Bitterness (IBU) 27
Volume 21L
Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

1 x 1.7kg Coopers Draught
1 x 1kg Coopers Brew Enhancer 1
1 x 300g Golden Syrup
1 x 250g Coopers Carbonation Drops

1. Mix

In a sanitised fermenting vessel (FV) dissolve Coopers Draught, Brew Enhancer 1 and the Golden
Syrup in 2 litres of hot water.
Fill fermenter with cool water to the 21 litre mark and stir.
Sprinkle Draught brew can yeast over the surface and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Ferment temperature should be as close to 20C as possible.
Although Ale yeast can ferment at very high temperatures (as high as 40C), the closer the brew is to
20C the cleaner the flavour and aroma.
Fermentation has finished once the specific gravity is stable over 2 days.
Expected readings should finish around 1012

3. Bottle

Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (use only one carbonation drop for bottles
intended to be stored for a longer period).
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the PET bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve with age.
When ready to drink, chill the bottles upright.
The chilled beer may be poured into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 4.1% ABV.
