I’m a bit noob to understand most of those words. lol. But thanks for your reply.

Forgive my ignorance and laziness please. I have been brewing since about January. I am starting to get some good results from only extract kits. The only sterilisation options I have found in my local brew shop is a mangrove jacks no rinse. It’s in a small bottle that lasts maybe 4-5 brews...

Ok. Cheers for this. I guess I should join their forum too. Much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone can point me toward any posts or offsite instructions about harvesting yeast from coopers sparkling ale dregs at all if there are any available? I heard it’s an option so thought I would explore that. Thanks in advance.

While I’m here I’m wondering if anyone has had issues putting carb drops in 330ml bottles at all? Given they are 40ml less than the recommendation of 375ml , just wondering if they over prime and explode or do they do ok? I bottled a few today because I got them cheap but I’m separating them...

Ok. Yeah I was guessing that was the case but hoping to avoid losing some ABV. Thanks for the reply.

hi guys. I’ve just put my 3rd brew in the fermenter, just another extract , kit, w/e. Anyways I was a bit distracted with kids and accidentally filled the fermenter up to 25 litres when 23 is recommended. So thought I would ask before I pitch yeast . What should I do if anything? Should I...

Thanks. I’ll have a look at this

Yeah. Have done that. Thanks.

Lol, you shouldn’t have told me that. They may not even last a week after bottling. Lol. I have finished bottling now. And obviously being my first time I’m sure I’ve made a few mistakes but I’ll be ready to refill the fermenter on Wednesday. Any suggestions about what to choose next for the...

So I have just finished bottling my first brew. And after taking into account the time involved with bottle preparation etc, I am now thinking about kegs. I’ll go do some research on the subject. But surely it’s much faster than bottling. I guess there are always some cons as well.
