# 2410 - Cooper's Old Dark Ale [[Home Brewing]] #brews #ale ## Intro Back into brewing with this kit, fairly straightforward, just needed some additional fermentables. ## The Brew  The Kit  Additional fermentables which should add a little more body I decided to mix mix the wort and malt with water in the boiler and boil briefly, to ensure that everything was sterilised.  Filling the boiler  Boiler heating  The kit yeast, not brillant but adequate for a quick brew  Hot wort transfer  Waiting for the wort to cool, not exactly a crash-cooling.  Waiting  Meanwhile a yeast starter from some of the wort and the supplied yeast.  Cooled too far overnight  Up to temperature and fermenting quite happily. ## Drinking Pleasant drink, a little thin, could form the basis for a hybrid brew.
