g'day guys welcome to my channel welcome
back to simple homebrew my name is
Pierre and I've got a brew to do today
and it's a Cooper's draught that I want
to do I had to sitting in the cupboard for
a while
I bought this amongst the Holly but
other things I bought from Firkin
Cellers I just want to do it because
it's here I'm running out of beer a
little bit because a couple of them I
did turned out pretty awful as they aged
they developed a poor flavor profile
that I didn't like so all I did was
distill it that was it get rid of it
basically recycled it so now I just need
to fill the keg up so I'm gonna put a do
a Cooper's draught I'm gonna add about
20 grams of Citra pellets and of course
the brew enhancer from scoop is so let's
do it
so what I'll do is I'll get my extract
from Cooper's which is the Cooper's
draught extract I'm just gonna rip off
the lid
pop it in the sink of hot water which
I'll fill up yeah like we always do
fill it up just hot tap water heat up
the extract so it's a little bit warmer
so it becomes more malleable or more
pourable and then put it into my clean
fermenter and go from me so here's a
extract I will peel the label off this
thing which is always difficult for me
to do for some reasons this is peel here
but I really can't get my nails under
there to do it
always a difficult thing to do so I'll
try getting that off and I'll come back
to you all right so I got that off peel
it off underneath it's full instructions
on how they actually make it I'm I've
done many of these so I
really don't need to keep referring back
to these it just just doesn't want to
tear look just doesn't want a properly
bit of a nuisance if i have to say
we've got it
okay there's the instructions it's in
such fine print I can't read it but I
know what to do anyway
pretty whoop,  Nearly did it
nearly filled the thing kept people from
that I popped it into the hot water to
warm it up let it just soak in there for
a 15 minutes or so and in that time I'll
just get a ring out sorted so guys while
we're waiting for that to heat up
I've just want to talk about my stout
that I created that's six straight week
so maybe ten weeks ago now my sure to
tell you truth turned out pretty good
needs a bit more aging of course but uh
as you saw it started this it poured
nicely it has a nice fizz to it it's got
nice we've got a nice carbonation to it
about time I did a beer and it was
carbonated right what I did do though is
I added an Oakwood essence from mangrove
jacks which I don't have to bottle
anyway to show you which really really
significantly improved the beer so might
be a good suggestion for you guys have
you got a beer that just right isn't
quite right don't get an essence pop it
in there so we see what it comes up like
great idea suggested to me by the local
brewery Brut Brut op and it worked
really well so I'm really enjoying this
7.5 percent black color it's really
cleaned very nice flavor no off flavors
I smell a caramely flavor and as is
aging I'm something to taste more of a
coffee the there was a sharp sort of a
off flavor in it but it's disappeared
now so that's really good I've got a bit
worried thinking it was going to be
awful other than that it's very strong
as you might have seen in the video I
made creating this I really should have
done it in two batches and made a bigger
batch like a thirty litre one because um
it's a bit too strong but the flavor is
awesome and is a great winter day all
you can just sit back watch a movie have
a class maybe two no more than that
though poppy the sleep straightaway so
yeah so we'll keep going with so as
usual grab my trusty can opener grab out
this warmed up can of
extract I might just do it here so that
you can see what happened to I'll speed
it up so it doesn't look so boring to
watch and I'll straighten the video out
thing yeah right
whack that little beauty on top of that
hmm without obviously didn't work we try
that one kena directors do it slightly
okay well waiting for that
there we go finished I need to boil the
kettle put about two liters of water
this kettle is about two liters full so
put filler up I boil the kettle I make
it a nice and hot and
get that nice and hot so we can dissolve
the extract as well as the enhancer so
that's about 2 litres we don't want to
get it too hot the water here
temperature here is dropped now we're
down to about 19 degrees 18 degrees
Celsius in our water and it's hot water
now which is great so now the catalyst
is about boiled I'll show you what I've
done I've got my fermenter here or
absolutely full of sanitizer at the
moment I have my pedal in there as well
sanitizing I give this a good clean just
recently made sure it was actually
spotless and popped all the sanitizer in
and I'll show you I show you exactly
what I'm talking about
hopefully you'll see what I'm talking
about now this is my sanitizer in the
base of this little area and it's been
coated inside here under the rubber
under each piece of rubber anything
that's going to be touching the beer so
everything's been coated with sanitizer
so that we don't get any off flavors and
strange bacteria that gets into your
beer and creates a poor quality beer so
what I'll do now is I'll just basically
tip this out just move my beer out of
the way I'll tip all this out which is
all over sanitize I'll get my paddle
it's all pale just to wrap my brew I
broke this pedal it's my first pedal
overhead from home brewing and I broke a
bloody thing not long after I got it so
been good that's a job so I've got a
nice close-up look for you I hopefully
you can see what I'm doing here I've got
my little pedal as you can see here I'm
gonna pour in the hot water now from the
kettle these these car these fermenters
can handle the heat from the hot water
which is great for my benefit so I'll
pour that in and of course pop the
kettle decide grab the extract which
I've shown you recently previously so
it's nice and mm-hmm
and I'll whack that in as you can see on
this video hopefully this team's not
fogging your up too much now get my
little paddle and I can't show you can I
wait
my little paddle I'll empty up this
little container no it's nice and close
sorry about that guys
I couldn't get the camera away from it
too much I don't know anyway now extract
is going in so this extra extract you
can see when we can't see there this
extra extract extract that you see here
will be completely washed out once I
start filling up the fermenter so I'll
just quickly clean out as much as I
possibly can and the can once I get
every bit that I can possibly scrape out
then I'll add my enhancer and then we'll
fill er up to a 23 litres
and this is very hard to see 100 100
degree Celsius maybe less now because
it's been sitting here but um you can't
burn yourself though it really probably
should be wearing gloves yeah done as
many times oh now I'm starting to smell
the caramelization and the smell of the
actual there you go them dried out now
so it's getting nice and watery so now
grab some extract yep
you probably find this pack whenever you
pull this stuff out it tends to
coagulate very quickly from the steam so
here we go just pour it all in really
quick pretty much white yeah that happen
already coagulating on the end so I'll
stir that in dissolve it nicely once all
the lumps are gone I'll then add the
water now I've got Citra hops with the
Citra hops I'm gonna actually do what a
couple of whites said on line oh we're
talking to me on YouTube saying to them
I should probably maybe activate not
activate but soak the hops in the hot
water for you know 10 or 15 minutes to
it like a tea so it'll actually extract
it and pour that in later so that it
kind of steeps in the hot water first
before it goes into your brew so I'm
gonna do that today
I'm gonna put it 20 grams of sitri in
let's see if that what that gives me in
the end result so here we go
so that's nicely stood so the next job
is to boil the kettle again and then add
my Citra hops which is that bloke there
cold water from the tap
you're right we're almost at 23 litres
the line here is about 23
so this put one more Canyon and I'll
wait for that now that's pretty much
empty decant so my hops have been
brewing for nearly 10 minutes now so if
I pour that in now that will give me my
hops pretty sure to stir the first get
that in there they're gonna aerate my
beer
just from here with my paddle just
mixing the hops and all the other bits
and pieces now I used to start making
this as a 19 litre pitter I think it the
flavor is a little bit too strong 419 so
I'm now happy to do it at 23 litres as I
suggest it's a much better flavor for me
anyway it's been aerated fair a fair bit
by pouring water in there anyway so what
I've done is a I can smell the citrus
ops brewing away they are moving around
so we're good for that yeah we're just
about finished I'll check the
temperature make sure it is at 20
there's 26 degrees Celsius on the side
here and I'll show you that in a sec
I'll just double check on the can as to
what temperature to PBE step pretty sure
it's between 21 and 27 but I'll just
check okay I was correct
between 21 and 27 degrees is the right
temperature ideal temperature to pitch
your yeast at the moment I'm at 26
degrees Celsius and that's all I need to
be yet so there you go so it's actually
at 24 degrees Celsius so we're spot-on
so we can pitch our yeast no problem
check that out doesn't matter if it's
sitting on top it'll activate quickly
and don't go to the edges I don't go to
the edges because the yeast tends to
climb up the edges if you go too close
to it so this is probably a girl
just to get it in the middle spread it
out a little bit you could just get the
paddle which I have and quickly mix it
in is the way it'll work anyway
quickly sanitize that they get the
paddle you can mix it in get it all off
the edges damn it
and that'll get them running through and
and hydrate and become a live species or
live product very quickly and started
activate and start working really
quickly so yeah so there's our draft
Coopers draft with a bit of an extra
added Citra hops nature turned out to be
an absolutely brilliant brew I'll
quickly rinse off my lid just to make
sure there's no no yeah Australia
bacteria I sitting all around it before
I pop it on and then I'll fill up my
airlock now I've learned just recently
that um sort of things that are strict
with with temperature and temperature
control and stuff like that this ain't
just that to make the draft he really
should control the temperature at 18
degrees and then change it as the
gravity changes they can get you dry
flavor but I don't seem to see much of a
difference or a problem with doing it
anyway just by leaving it in the house
here at 20 degrees and just let it
ferment have it at about 14 day period
okay so I got my sanitizer in my airlock
now whack that in here you can't see
that like that in there look just like
that you got your temperature
sorry good year lock-in probably filled
it up a bit too much better won't hurt
pop the lid on so it reduces the amount
of bacteria getting in and now will sit
that in the corner and let it do its job
thanks guys thanks for taking the time
to watch my channel
it is a simple brew that I did
a bit of it made it a little bit more
complicated by adding a bit of hops it's
not hard at all really just just to give
it a little bit of enhanced flavouring
that I like if you did like this video
give me a thumbs up I say hi just give
me a bit of a get a male ego and
subscribe I've got more to come I'm
actually going to do a wine which is
coming up so hopefully you'll enjoy that
and yeah so it'll be something new
something different all the time so
please stick around for the next video
and we'll keep working on it
catch you later
you
