ah cool good luck with that, yeah im well n truely still in the KnB phase, but im getting good beer now so cant complain!

hey fifey yeah this is me. do u still homebrew now nicks in adel?

do you have any idea on a k&B version? im also going for a stella artois clone but need it pretty simple :icon_cheers:

hi everyone, i recently got a 20L keg and am wondering how cheap i can be - is it possible to fill the keg with beer, add the right amount of sugar and use that to carbonate it instead of the usual co2 etc (that stuff is a bit too expensive right now) i realise it would then have to pretty much...

i had a worse version of this - was stinking hot up here earlier in the year and of course the aircon broke - so ended up brewing my beer at around 28 or 30 degrees for the whole fermentation....its super fruity and almost like a wheat beer (it was a coopers lager can), not good at all but still...

i had a problem like this with the same kit - after bubbling away well for the first few days it stopped and seemed to stall, i tried mixing ti up again and raising the temperature but it didnt d anything, eventually added a sachet of kit yeast from some cheap can i had (not a good idea i know...

hey i know this post was a loooooong time ago, but to try save starting a new thread - im thinking of doing this one, (going on uni hollidays for 7 weeks so will be able to lager it as opposed to the usual drink it in a month strategy :rolleyes: ), i have armarillo hops and cascade - are either...

ive seen crystal malt mentioned a lot around here, what exactly does it add? and why is it 'crystal'? for the 500g you suggested, how much water would you steep that in and for how long? tasted the beer again out of the fermenter, very strong coffee taste and aroma, next time i might put in a...

i ended up doing this: 100g nescafe gold coffee 400g nestle drinking chocolate 1kg DLME added that to near-boiling water and stirred to dissolve added to fermenter 1 can coopers dark ale kit yeast OG of 1040 (that was at about 26 degrees though, and im a little suspicious of my old hydrometer)...

just in case anyone reads this in the future; i just tried a 'little creatured bright ale' for the firs time, and i think this recipie is pretty close to tasting the same, so if this is what you are looking for give this a go and tweak it with whatever you think itll need, or if you are gonna...

ill get it from m LHBS, not sure how much, about 12-18 bucks i think, but i got the can for $2 from coles so not really any more expensive overall than usual.

was 100g cocoa enough for the chocolatey flavour? and did you add that toa boil or just chuck it in the fermenter?

hi, im just wondering, would adding darke liquid malt extract (1.5kg) be a good idea for coopers dark ale? or would it be too much 'dark'. id like a sort of coffee/chocolatey taste, but without using grains or anything else too difficult, and i dont think ill be able to get hold of any...

i was gonna go get a coopers pilsner kit, and as far as yeast goes ill have to go get some more - i have saf ale 04, and of course the kit yeast, what would you reccommend? and any idea what the alcohol %would be with just the brew enhancer?

hi, i just bought 1k of brew enhancer #62, the 'czech pilsner beer enhancer' - says its made from malt extract, hops, maltodextrin, dextrose. im just wondering has anyone used this before? if so what else would you add? and does anyone know the amounts of the ingredients in this?
