Not really relevant, but Grain and Grape still have a listing on their website for it if you want to try and get a lot to keep you going until you can find a replacement extract. http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/product_in...roducts_id=7657

I just put this down - 1 can Coopers Ginger Beer kit - 1kg raw sugar - 500g Capilano Honey - 2 cinnamon sticks I tasted it out of the tube i used for a hydrometer reading and it has a very nice honey note to it, that I expect will probably fade with fermentation. Obviously no cinnamon...

Sounds like something that happened to me. My father gave a guest of his a HB i did with a Coopers Cerveza kit + Brew Enhancer 1. The guest assumed it was some fancy import beer or something, (from what my mum told me) and the guy didn't seem to fussed over it, but he was rather impressed when...

http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/c/wine-beer/...cheapest-first/ DealsDirect seems to be selling beer now. While all their beers claim to be "imported", I'm going to guess a lot of their stuff is going to be brewed under license if it is available. Interesting to see that they have Hoegaarden...

I've only ever brewed with Coopers kits and I only have a Coopers fermenter, but I am prepared to buy any equipment necessary for upgrading my brewing skills.

Thanks. I'll definitely give this a go :D

I love this forum. I'd be feeling lost in the world of homebrew without it.

Hi. I'm planning on doing a cerveza or light pilsner styled recipe soon for my girlfriend (trying to get her into homebrew :P) A very vague recipe I have is - Light Liquid Malt Malt Extract - Crystal malt and/or Mild Cara-pils grain - Saaz hops - Peats Ridge Spring Water (cheapish at Coles) -...

I had Sol once, made Corona taste heavenly in comparisson......

Unless you took that off, but then it'd be gushing everywhere.

I could order one, but my brew has been ready to be bottled for a few days. I'd rather not put it off any longer incase it starts to taste a bit funny

Already looked at Coles, Big W, Woolworths (every place in town that sells at least some homebrew stuff), no capping devices of any kind, or spaces on the shelves for them.

Don't have a local home brew store in my town (other than Coles and Big W) so it's pretty much hand capping for me, but that will change with my next batch. So at least the neck will be capped even if the rest of the bottle is all over the kitchen floor? :P

Hi Another noob question...... I've been practising practising on an empty crown seal bottles with my hammer hand capper with some Brigalow crown/twist caps. I feel like I've been giving them a good whack but the cap won't budgem, any harder and I think the glass might shatter. How hard do I...

Thanks for the info guys. Tray of bottles in the oven now :beerbang:
