Coopers Dark Ale tweak

[garylewis1966]

Like Rob, I'm thinking of a dark ale experiment though unlike Rob, I'm a newbie, just about to embark on my 3rd brew kit so will be keeping things simple. I enjoyed a bottle of Kaiserdom Dark Lager Beer and want to brew something similar. Read good reviews about Coopers Dark Ale and, whilst tempted to brew as intended, I'm thinking about using one or two packets of lager yeast. Will probably use half Dark Malt Extract, half dextrose.

Any thoughts about this please? Anyone tried something similar? Appreciate anyone putting me straight on any potential problems.

Cheers

Im have one on the go just now, coopers dark ale with brew enhancer 2 and a jar of malt extract brewed to 19l looking forward to see the result.
