Coopers Lighting Strike Summer Ale

[RobShamrock]

Finally got around to getting this on as a repeat brew as it went down so well. Did some steeped grains with it this time some carapils 250g. Also looking to dry hop this batch but not 100% sure which hop to use from the recipe either EKG or the Northern Brewery and how much 25g or so I'm guessing . Any suggestions

Can't help on the dry hopping recommendations I'm afraid. 

This is still near the top of our list for great kit hacks.  We are running low on the second batch and Mrs Oinkely has requested a fresh one be produced.

It's simply a great beer.

I prefer dry hopping with EKG. 30-40 grams should be nice

Only seeing this post now. 2 hours after dry hop addition. Strangely I'd gone for the Ekg and did 30g as per your post I think my brew instincts are improving

Well its time to sample a few of these and I'm surprised that its not come out as well as lastime.

I did alter the recipe a bit,  I did a grain steep to help with head retention etc, I'll have to check my brew book to see what grain I used, I also dry hopped as per above.

Its taken an age to clear, and its not really cleared up too well at all, I've a fair few stashed in cool garage which I'll leave till closer to christmas and check again. My experience isnt strong enough to put my finger on whats wrong, but in my original batch I just remember it as more enjoyable to drink.

I'm guessing the grain steep,  also in the original I used fresh leaf hops and I used pellets this time ?

I've plenty stock anyhow to tide me thru christmas and they'll be all drunk no doubt eventually
