Two cans, both yeasts and water to 21 Litres. Keep fermentation temps as low as possible.

Cheers,
Greg

I did one of these with some Hersbruker:

-------
1 can Coopers Euro Lager
360g Carapils steeped
16g Hersbruker - 10 mins (+ little steep)
1Kg LDME
A little (100g ?) table sugar
23L fermenting around 14
-------

This was good, but the hops faded fast, and now it just tastes like the kit.

If I was to do this again, I'd drop the carapils and do maybe 20g Hersbruker boiled for 20 mins with a higher volume boil in an attempt to get the taste to stay longer.
