Coopers Sparkling Ale clone


(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.052 FG = 1.008
IBU = 29 SRM = 6 ABV = 5.8%

Ingredients
8.75 lbs. (4 kg) Joe White pale ale malt
1 lb. (0.45 kg) Joe White white wheat malt

White Labs WLP009 (Australian Ale) or yeast cultured from bottles of Coopers Sparkling Ale
1 cup corn sugar (if priming)

Step by Step
Mash the grains at 149 °F (65°C) for 90 minutes. Vourlaf until your runnings are clear, sparge to collect 6.5 gallons (25 L) of wort, and bring to a boil. Boil for 90 minutes, adding the hops and sugar at the beginning of the boil. After the boil, turn off the heat and chill the wort rapidly to 65 °F (18 °C). Transfer to a fermenter, aerate well, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 65 – 68 °F (18 – 20 °C). When the beer has reached final gravity, bottle or keg as usual.

(2.8 L) of water at 150 °F (66 °C) for 30 minutes. Add water to make 3 gallons (11 L), stir in half the liquid malt extract, the sugar and hops, and bring to a boil. Boil for 60 minutes. Add the other half of the liquid malt extract and Irish moss with 15 minutes left in the boil. After the boil, cool the wort and transfer to a sanitized fermenter and top up to 5 gallons (19 L) with cool water. Aerate well and pitch the yeast. Follow the remainder of the all-grain recipe.

Hi Gash
Have you brewed this one? if so how close was it and which yeast did you use?
I have tried a few versions but never really got close to the right taste. Always thought it may be because I used bought yeasts rather than culturing from Coopers bottles.
Cheers
Chris

Brewing a familiar Dark Mild later today. (hint: Was the bastard tired? Or was he run over by a tire (tyre). No one really knows). One thing for sure. It will be a treat when done. Cheers!
