ADVICE RE A DARK ALE.
Posted: Tuesday Sep 21, 2004 10:15 pm
With much help from the members my first brew was passable & the second one is nearing completion and I am expecting great results with this one.
However, I have decided that my next one will be Dark ale ( as I am a lover of traditional brown & black beer ) anyway I looked up Geoff & olivers brew pages and found olivers No 13 coopers dark ale, the coopers cans for this are readily available in the local super market , but not the mentioned Liquid Amber said to contain dextrose,light malt & dark malt, nor does it say what quantity was used ? so folks are these the only items required and just follow the instructions on the can ?.
P.S , I intend to make up a double batch in the one 60 ltr fermenter, so do I just double up on everything . allso Olivers notes stated that from start to bottled time was 42 days ? have I miss read or is that normal .
Any help appreciated .
