Cheers mate all it took was some one to tell me to man the F$&# up. Went back out the shed pulled & conquered. Think i tore me peck though... Cheers again!

Arvo, I have read many post's but still cant work it out? Many say with a bench top caper you can cap twist top bottles with it... I cant seem too. If i pull any harder im afraid I may break it ( :rolleyes: ). To be exact im using tooheys extra dry long necks with espree 23 caps. See pics...

would you be using the crystal doc?

thanks guys. Im goint ot make a 40 litre batch. I dont have the wheat malt so i i will try this next time. I have also found 250 grams of malt crystal grain (ebc115-145) do you think is should use it? plan of attack is: 2 x Coopers Sparkling ale 2 x Coopers LIGHT malt extract 250 grams malt...

I am going to have a go at making the extarct version with the ingrediants I have in the picture. I am not sure if I have purchased the correct ingrediants can anyone confirm pls?

Hey mate I also bought on the other day. all you have to do is put 2 teaspoons of bicarb soda and a few litres of hot water put the and swish around for a few minutes and rinse should get rid of the smell...worked great for me. Let me know how you go!

Yeah i have a fermenting fridge with a tempmate hooked up so I can hold any temp.

so the revised plan now is to use 500g of dex/maltidex do a 15 min boil 30g cluster and at 5 min 30g cluster> I have the coopers yeast from the can should i use it insead of the Us-05?

Cheers manticle... this is the first time using beersmith and for beer type i entered APA. The hops i have are not the correct hops for a pale ale but i was a little unsure of the type of beer i would be making with the Ingrediants I have... by the sounds of it I could be creating my own!

ok i will half the crystal and brewing sugar.. and see how it goes. im not to fussed as its left over stuff and its pissing rain today and fell like brewing. iamozziyob heres the link...http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60191&hl=coopers++beersmith

yeah i downloaded a coopers add on from this site. I dont have any DME do you think reducing the the coopers brewing sugar to 1kg would be ok.. i know it not ideal?

I am going for an APA. I just checked thinking I have only cluster hops but i have 40g's of pride of ringwood and 50g's of cluster. I thought it was going to be much crystal but using beersmith it within the range aparently. Still think ill reduce it though. i dont have any dry malt extract?

This is my first attempt at beersmith. What do you think of this recipe any suggestion. the ingrediants I have left over so I need to use it up. Recipe: Jazz's Coopers Pale Brewer: Mitchjazz Asst Brewer: Style: American IPA TYPE: Extract Taste: (30.0) Recipe Specifications...

Yep Cheers felton just had a play with it and it will come in very handy! Turns out even if i added 2 deg water is still would of been way out ... Cheers mate!

Cheers bear! Im going to make another batch the same this weekend but ill obviously make changes to ensure my pitching temp is aroun 20 degress. ill let you know if I can tell the difference.
