Thanks mate, I'll check out his video! Simple is what I like.
You're not wrong about the Coopers yeast, I was impressed by it's rumble in the bronx. Most of the bottles from this batch are now firming up!
Good to know that ~13% is what to expect. Thanks mate!
I had an OG of 1.106 I reckon ..
And a FG of 1.012 (sorry no pictures of that one). The calculator I used said it was 12.35% so didn't quite reach the 13.
I've tried cider with s-04 and Mangrove Jack cider yeast M02. I have some...
I started off in home brew with Bung Jooce. Simple cider or whatever other name. Just apple juice and yeast.
These are my notes from the Super Bung Jooce I tried.
I'm a scientist, I need to experiment.
Ingredients:
Bunnings Fermenter
x10 2L bottles ALDI apple juice
4kg white sugar

I got 22 long necks of Coopers lager bottled up.
I used a priming measuring scoop with white sugar this time, instead of the carbonation lollies. What a PITA that thing is. Much cheaper than using the Coopers gear, but a lot more fiddly.
I got most of the beer out into the bottles, about...
So it has been two weeks since I bottled this stout.
I plonked two of them in the fridge in the morning and tested at the end of the day, some carbonation, but pretty much flat.
The PET bottles were not super hard. The caps are all on tight and I put x2 carbonation lollies in each bottle...
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions!
I did in fact add the hops on day 4 however the fermenter was rumbling with activity. Perhaps it was a bit sluggish to get going.
Quick sample the other day and it tastes and smells like warm flat beer with hops, so I'll be bottling this brew...
These are notes from my second brewing attempt! It was made today. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome!
Ingredients:
Coopers Fermenter

1kg Coopers Brew Enhancer 3
500g Coopers Brewing Sugar
Kit yeast
Boxed water
15g Cascade Hops at day 4
Process:
Sanitised...
So hard to wait... I'll try to keep it that long! (doubt!)
So for my next batch, I've got a Coopers Larger tin lined up.

Was thinking of getting a sack of hops from my local HBS and see if I can BAM! kick it up a notch!
My favorite is stout, but I'll...
Howdy,
Today I took another sample and the hydrometer reading hasn't changed (although read inaccurately, it was read inaccurately with consistency!)
It was bottling day today!
I cleaned and sanitised all of my 740ml PET bottles and filled 28 of them!
I used 2 carbonation lollies in each...
Awesome, thanks for the diagram! Mine does say to read from the bottom of the meniscus and to use at 20C, whilst it was cooler than that when I took the reading, both were taken very close to the same temperature.
Howdy mate,
2) & 6) I saw a few videos about two can brews and a few notes on it being bitter? I'm not a huge fan of bitter stout. I'll give it a go anyway!
3) Yeah for my next Coopers kits I'll be using the kit yeast to see how it turns out.
4) I was definitely curious to know what ABV would...
