Hey fellas, Been drinking my brews from last winter, but I'm continually disappointed with the quality of the drink, in that they seem to have very little carbonation. My Coopers Mexican Cerveza has turned dark and gone totally flat. Here's my brew statistics for this particular batch: Coopers...

Morning Gents, Started another brew this morning using Coopers European Lager kit extract but instead of coopers brew enhancer, I added 1KG of raw sugar (didn't realise I had run out of Dextrose.) What effect will the raw sugar have on the flavour or fermentation, will the yeast just eat it...

G'day gents, Just wanted to say that I never expected the home brew thing to get too serious but, it seems to be biting hard! I only got into brewing a couple of months ago and I'm already into my 6th brew. Loving it! Thank you to the good folks here who've been helping me out with all my...

Morning gents, A few days ago I bottled my Brigalow branded apple cider brew but have noticed there was a lot of sediment going into the bottles from the FV during bottling. Now I have this stuff at the bottom of my bottles and on my PET bottles it is also present at the top as well. See pics...

G'day gents, Last Sunday I started my first Apple Cider brew using an off-the-shelf Brigalow branded extract with it's pre-packed yeast & nutrient satchels. Just curious about the fermentation process, I noticed that compared to my previous beer fermentation, there is very little foam on top...

G'day gents, My father used to home-brew beer, wine & the occasional spirit when I was a kid, so now in my late 40's, I decided to have a go for myself. Anyway the wife bought me the Coopers DIY kit from BigW last week. I started the brew that same day and have been monitoring it every day...
