Wyeast 1968 (London ESB) or White Labs WLP002 (English Ale) yeast
Bring 1/2 gallon of water to 155° F, add crushed grain and hold for 30 minutes at 150° F. Strain the grain into the brewpot and sparge with one gallon of 168° F water. Add the malt extract syrup, dry malt extract and bittering hops. Bring the total volume in the brewpot to 2.5 gallons. Boil for 45 minutes, then add the flavor hops and Irish moss. Boil for 13 minutes, then add the aroma hops. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove the pot from the stove. Strain into the primary fermenter and add water to obtain 5-1/8 gallons. Add yeast when wort has cooled to below 80° F.
Ferment at 68° F for 7 days then rack into secondary. Ferment until target gravity has been reached and beer has cleared (approximately 3 weeks). Prime and bottle. Carbonate at 70° to 72° F for 2 to 3 weeks. Store at cellar temperature. |

Notes: Heat 2.5gal partial mash water to 160°F. Add crushed grain and flaked wheat in nylon mesh bag and hold at 152°F for 75min. In second pot, heat sparge/rinse to 130°F and dunk/soak grain bags for several minutes. Combine both into larger of the two pots and bring to boil. Add DME, continuing to stir vigorously until completely dissolved. Add hops (aged preferred) and boil to hit target IBU of 10. Hops are not for bittering/aroma, but for preservative properties. Remove heat and add Candi Syrup. Cool wort to 65°F (or as close to this as you can). Transfer wort to fermenter and pitch WLP550 and ferment for ~2 weeks or until finished at final gravity (~1.006). Rack to secondary onto 9lbs of rasberries and second pitch yeast/bacteria pitch culture. Ferment for 3 to 4 weeks at cool temps. Cold crash. Before transferring to keg (or primed bottles), add lactic acid to the desire sourness (pH ~3.2 to 4) and preffered sweetness by adding Candi Syrup or table sugar (remember to boil/sanitize sugar before adding!). Keg/bottle condition for at least 1 month before serving.
Unsweetened raspberry extract recipe:
1) Add 6lbs of rasberries to large sauce pan (or pot) and cover with 2 quarts of water.
2) Boil for 20min, until berries lose their color.
3) Let cool slightly and transfer to sanitized mason/ball jars (inside and outside).
4) Store in refrigerator until ready for use. |

| Notes: Add crushed grains to a steeping bag. Heat 2.5 gallons of water to 155 °F (68° C), add the steeping grains and let steep for 30 minutes. Discard bag, bring liquid to a boil. Remove from heat and add Malt Extract, stir until dissolved. Return to heat, heat to a boil. Once liquid is 212 °F (100 °C), add hops and boil wort for 60 minutes. Remove from heat and chill wort in an ice bath, attempt to bring it under 100 °F (37 °C) in under 30 minutes. Add 2 gallons of cold water to a sanitized fermentor, transfer cooled wort on top of cold water, leaving behind trub. Top with cold water to bring the full volume to 5 gallons. Attempt to aerate the wort, seal the fermentor and swirl/swish the wort. Pitch (add ;) your yeast when your wort is under 80 °F (26° C), add sanitized airlock and ferment for 14 days at 68 °F (20° C). |

Notes: Liquid malt extract is Coopers hopped stout kit 1.7 kg so which contributes around 30 IBU to final wort. That is, the IBU indicated in recipe summary only accounts for 20 g Goldings @ 20min.
All malt extract other than 750g light dme is added as a late addition steep to avoid excess caramelisation from the low volume boil, and allow more utilisation from the Goldings.
Yeast can be recultured from any Coopers Brewery commercial beer. I used yeast harvested from 2 x 375ml bottles Coopers Original Pale Ale to make a starter.
For an all-extract version, see my Black Cat Bone.
These recipes attempt to capture the essence of Coopers Best Extra Stout (ABV 6.3%)
My actual brew was
O.G. 1.060
F.G. 1.017
Apparent attenuation 72%
ABV 5.7%
