Bump 1 hour left

Hey guys, it's a sad day today but I have to let this stuff go. Had a blast with it. Pick up only in Noble Park, Melbourne. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Complete-Beer-Home-Brewing-Kit-30L-Fermenter-Capper-Bottle-tree-80-BOTTLES-/281116220196?pt=AU_Barware&hash=item4173d51b24&_uhb=1

Thanks for the ideas guys. Might try leaving them a little more loose in the stockings and throwing in after bubbling has calmed.

Ok, even with 190gms of heavy citrusy hops i'm simply not satisfied with with the hop punch i'm looking for. Recently tried Hoppy Heffe and am interested in this level of hop knockout. Added 45gms of Galaxy & 45gms of Citra @ 2 minutes and 45 & 45 at flameout. All hops were poured into the...

I'll still be satisfied if it is quite simply alcoholic hop juice :)

I tried this beer only a few weeks ago and am hooked. I think I got my old man hooked also. Absolutely love the stuff. Supply in Melbourne is looking very grim indeed. I bought out the Springvale/Mulgrave branch, (3 bottles), of Dan Murphy's and my old man asked at the Seaford branch and they...

I've had a bit of luck with a Coopers Pale Ale & Canadian Blonde can, so i'd thought i'd give it another crack. 1.7kg Coopers Pale Ale 1.7kg Coopers Canadian Blonde 1.0kg Coopers LDM 90g Galaxy hops 90g Citra hops To 26 litres. Drank half a pint today, chilled, after 1 week in the fermenter...

Totally agree. I rocked up at 11am and it was borderline spitting/grey clouds and the wind was fkn cold! Sun popped out and started burning the hell out of me. This one went down a treat.. Still have a few to upload.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/narcotickanga...ith/6734837883/

Is using a yeast like US-05 going to give a very different drink as opposed to using the yeast under the can lid? I'm on my third brew and my first tastes quite like my third, although i've easily used twice the amount of hops and fermentables on the third brew and slightly less water! First...

Not using any grains. What do you mean 'all extract brew'? And I would get crystal malt from my local home brew shop? I've no idea how expensive it is, but is it worth the extra cash?

I'm just wondering how would I go about giving my ales more punch, more body.. I punched a six pack of Burleigh’s 28 Pale Ale on new years eve and the taste is quite heavy and it's quite dark in the glass, yet it's only ABV 4.8%.. Hell, it's a good beer...

Coopers Aus Pale Ale cans x2 Coopers LDME 500gms Brewed to 22 litres. Brewcraft calculator suggests ABV 6.5% Cascade dried flowers 10 gms @ 15 Galaxy dried flowers 5 gms @15 Amarillo pellets 10 gms @ 15 Cascade dried flowers 10 gms @ 10 Galaxy dried flowers 5 gms @10 Amarillo pellets 10 gms @...

I've found the Coopers Pale Ale kit can not all that bitter in comparison to the commercial version. I've been drinking their commercial Pale ale for a long time and it's just a great everyday drinker. Sparkling ale for when it's been a shit day at work. I must say that I agree with big78sam...

Thanks man. That's some helpful info :)

On top of that thick as hell sludge?? Would I just leave the krausen residue caked on the side of the fermenter? Chain fermenting.. the wife is gonna bust my balls- hard. But.. if I can convince her it was the same brew all along I might just make it. Early morn weekend boil it is. I just need...
