Notes

Classic Australian Sparkling Ale using Collected Coopers yeast built up.

Using Home Grown Whole Leaf

V1.1 This is the same as V1 except increased Boil Addition Hops by 50%.

V1.2 Added more Pride Of Ringwood at 5-10 minute mark

V2 had the same BUT I used Pils instead if Aussie Ale Malt.

V1.3 Now fly sparging instead of Batch sparging.

Really great Easy drinking Aussie Ale.

2025 - about to redrew with all home frown hops. Still using yeast from Coopers bottles. Happy to work with OS Brewers and send some vials OS for fans of this style
