Captain 3 Droids Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Just put down a Mr Beer - Hop Bomb (USA double IPA). Tin (1.3kg) of Mr Beer Diablo IPA, 250g of light dry malt extract, Y1 yeast, 10l and not 8.5l per recipe. Recipe at 6.5% however with 10l suspect about 5.7%. Will dry hop day 4 with 25g Citra and 25g of Magnum (a good substitute in lieu of Bravo). Did this a few years ago before the Droids and did enjoy. @Wazza_wantsbeerin another post reminded me of this brew, thanks Wazza. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 It looks like a few brewers are having some great success with the Coopers Mr Beer cans. I'm enjoying getting back to some stovetop style brewing and like the Coopers DIY recipes of the month and Advanced Brewing Packs. Which Mr Beer cans do people recommend and what are your methods for bringing the total volume up to 10 litres to match the BeerDroid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Hey Dustin, I've been looking at these, some of the recipes sound delicious, shame a lot of the darker/amber malts are out of stock at the moment. Have also reached out to Liam to see any methods to bring this up to 10L in the droid Let me know if you discover anything else 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most of the Mr Beer recipes are high in alcohol I just add the extra 1.5l however with some I add a X1 with the extra water. There are recipes at 9 and 10l. I like the Diablo IPA, add a X1, extra water to 10l and dry hop 25g citra, 25g Bravo with Y1 yeast. As shipping is free for any combination of 4 I get the Diablo IPA, Long Play IPA, Bewitched Amber Ale and the Northwest PA. A lot can be done with these. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From speaking to some of the users on the Coopers DIY forum I understand there's a home brew store in Adelaide that stocks them too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial touch of sweetness, followed by smooth citrus/fruity, slightly floral flavour that lingers nicely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I should’ve included that in my initial post, nice fruity aroma from the passionfruit and definitely a big sweetness from the lactose. I took a keg to a mates place for Christmas and the lads got through it pretty quickly, so that’s a very good indicator i have a few more that I ordered, will probably look next at the long play IPA or the lime milkshake IPA that they do anyone else had any good recipes from Coopers DIY/ Mr Beer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds a ripper, philly sour yeast is a game changer, packs a punch but not too puckery either! wouldn’t the lactose tart it out more? I guess it depends on what flavours you’re going for too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at at 6 weeks plus this has turned out to be a nice drop. Lovely and sweet when drinking but a bitterness to the palette after a few minutes. Quite acceptable, do again?
