Mark Gillman Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Has any one brewed a full Coopers Tin of ME in a droid? Iam looking to experiment. The sugars in the tin should just ferment out as any Dextrose or brew sugars, it should lead to a flavoursome beer. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thagomizer Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Mark, I have split a 5-gallon Cooper's Draught kit into two sequential batches in a BeerDroid by dividing the HME and Brew Enhancer between each batch. Filtered water brought the wort up to 10L. Results were good on both batches. Recently, I have split a (5-gal) Cooper's Lager kit into two simultaneous batches in two droids. I'm still waiting on the results for this one. Let me be clear; these kits were intended to be 5 to 6-gallon batches. You may have obtained a different package. I would not recommend a 5-gallon (21L) batch with just enough water to fill a 10L BeerDroid. It would be rich but would surely overflow. Happy brewing. 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gillman Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Thagomizer ...thanks for your tips...I might use half a tin and refrigerate what's left for another batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thagomizer Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 I see that we are on the same page here. I recommend putting about 9L of room temperature filtered water into the droid. Then pour the half-portion of the HME into the droid and gently stir with a sanitized plastic spoon (I use a mash paddle.) for about 5 minutes or until the bottom of the paddle comes up clean. Top off the water to the 10L mark, if needed. Then, by the droid protocol, throw the yeast and add the half-portion of dry enhancers. Place the lid on the droid and start the program of your choice. I use scales to accurately divide the HME and Enhancers. Definitely refrigerate the HME and the half of the yeast (if you divided it also). Otherwise, you can use all the yeast for the first half and use another for the rest. Happy brewing. 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
