The only toucan I've done was with a dark ale and lager kit and at about 68ibu iirc the concern was that it would be too bitter so I added a good chunk of crystal and used Windsor as a low attenuating yeast. Turned out pretty good but needed months to mellow. You have some crystal and an extra kg of DME so I think you're on the right track with no bittering additions.

Mattrox wrote:Thanks. Well that looks like the bitterness could balance out the sweetness. My palate is not offended if things are on the sweet side anyway. However, I will make a yeast starter for this.
I plan to bulk prime, does anyone know how much a 20L Willow Jerry Can actually holds? I have one handy rather than buying another container.

I am planning to use the Coopers Real Ale kit along with the Lager kit that came with the set-up.
1.7kg Coopers Real Ale
1.7kg Coopers Lager
0.5kg Light DME
0.5kg Amber DME
0.1kg Crystal Malt
0.3kg Chocolate Malt
25g Fuggles steeped
S04 yeast
I hope to have it bottle conditioned in time for winter.
