Ok, so I have decided to run with adding Lime. Can I use juice concentrate and if so how much? Or, should I just buy 2 limes, juice them and boil the juice with some water to make sure its sterilized???? Cheers, Jezza

Hey there guys. Just recently got back into brewing and I to am about to do a Coopers Mexican Cervasa as well. I am wanting to place some lemon or lime into the mix to give it a little hint of flavour. How much would you seasoned veterans recommend??? I am thinking 1 lemon and 2 limes...

Hi lads, I am about to drop my Honey brew this arvo or Monday. I am using Cascade Golden Harvest Lager, 500g Dex, 300g Light and 200g Dark Malt and 500g honey. My question is regarding is the malt. Does malt act the same as the sugar? I am not wanting my bottles to be "bombs" so to...

Hey Disco, I am about to drop that Beez Kneez . I am just gonna use the yeast provided with the Cascade Golden Harvest, god only knows what it is. Would it be ok to use that rather than going out to get another yeast?

Cheers manticle. I did try and measure the SG of my brew, however the damn tube that came with my hydrometer isn't big enough. Anyway, I am bottling this arvo and when I purchase my next can of brew, I will buy a larger beaker/tube so I can measure it without opening the lid. I am using this...

Thanks Wisey, but arrrrrrhhhhhhhhhh, no thanks mate, lol

The yeast I used was Saflager-23 that came with the pack I bought. The yeast that came inside the tin is in the fridge. I did put the yeast in at a high temp.................got a bit excited as I was stoked to be brewing another beer, around 35-40 degrees. I was concerned I may have killed...
