Coopers India Pale Ale (IPA) | December 4th 2014 | |
Just hop-tastic!This is really fantastic, even after only 10 days in the bottle. Lovey dark amber colour with plenty of hop kick. It has cleared really well in the bottles with a nice firm yeast sediment that doesn't mix up too much when you pour. I used a 100g of Amarillo hops in the boil (just for a couple of minutes) and left the hops in during the fermentation. Lovely aroma hits you when you pour it out. Might try with a little more priming sugar next time - I used 1 Coopers drop per 500ml bottle and think 2 might be a little better. Don't know if it makes much difference but I made 20L instead of recommended 23L, to to give an extra bit of depth to the falvour. But overall couldn't be more impressed. If you like IPA you'll love this. |
