Ingredients
1.7kg Thomas Coopers Premium Selection Sparkling Ale
1kg Country Brewer Brew Booster
Calculations
Original Gravity - 1.035
Final Gravity - 1.003
Approx. ABV - 4.8%
Brewing Notes
Mixed up Brew Booster in 2L boiling water and added can, mixed well. Pitched yeast at 24 degrees and will ferment at around 18-20 degrees.
+10 days - Disaster! In getting my final gravity reading I must have left the tap dripping overnight and lost 10 bottles worth of the good stuff! Bottled 20 using approx. 1.5 teaspoons of dextrose although 1 or 2 may have bottom of the barrel nastiness in them... Oh well onto the next one I guess...
Tasting Notes
+2 weeks in the bottle - Cracked one last night and it is still a bit green with very low carbonation. I'll leave it for another week and if the carbonation is not right then I need to use 2 teaspoons of dextrose next time!
Turns out it's not a bad drop but when using dextrose you do need to have 2 teaspoons per bottle.
