Hi all. I've just arrived in Australia (from the UK) and have just purhcased a home brew kit (the basic of all basics to start me off - the Coopers one).
Since I'm new to this home brewing, i'm not looking to start mashing just yet, so was wondering if any one can recommend any decent recipes using the canned wort & may be the odd packet of mixed ingredients I'll need to boil & add to the wort, to make the following -
A real ale on a similar to either James Squires Golden or Hop Thief ales
A real ale similar to London Pride
A real ale style Cider
A cherry beer
Any information will be greatly appreciate and also please note that since I'm new to this, I'm not looking for excellent recipe's, just some that are in the ball park of the types above, to start my budding home brewing hobby off.
Cheers
Sandy

The vast majority of HB is real ale- except for keggers who force carbonate.
I've seen recipes for London Pride and JS beers somewhere, but I can't remember where. A google search is usually pretty good.
A good cider is the blackrock cider kit- widely available at HB stores. This site has several recipes. The one I used was:
Blackrock cider kit
1kg white sugar
200g light dry malt
250g lactose
3 peeled, cored, and quartered grannie smith apples in a stocking.
200g clover honey.
I made it up to 18L, not the 23L that the can said.
That was a tasty cider.
I am currently lagering a cherry lager, so I can't tell you how it tastes, but the recipe is:
Coopers Bavarian lager
1.5kg pale liquid malt
20g herz-hallertau (for flavour)
300g crystal malt
2.1 kg cherries- added to secondary.

Made this with a US-56 yeast and about 14g golden cluster hops and it turned out very nice.lethaldog wrote:For james squire amber ale use muntons premium blonde with black rock amber malt extract, dry corn syrup 250g, finishing hops golden cluster 5g and safale or saflager yeast depending on brewing temp..
