Yeah will do! Might brew the same recipe and just be extra careful haha

A Awesome thanks for the advice mate! It was my first time using a white labs liquid yeast, I also might try dry hoping earlier. And clean everything again and again haha

Sorry should have mentioned doing a pale ale, dry hopped with 200grams on day 5, used white labs coastal haze. Fermented at 19 for 7 days, then bumped up to 22 for 2 days then cold crashed for a day.

Hey guys, so I’ve done a few batch of All Grain now,and my latest is the second one with this weird taste. Kind of like rotten fruit, I can still taste/smell the hops, but just this weird unpleasant taste and smell is there. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!

Haha wow! That easy!! Thanks a lot to everyone who took the time to answer and help out! I had no idea about this! Very fun learning though! Thanks again! Looks like I won’t have to drink mid strength after all haha

Hey people, move done two all grain brews in my Brewzilla, and both batches have had the final gravity in the 20s!OG was in the 50s and brewing Pale Ales. Second batch I used two packets of yeast and still got a high FG!? I’m assuming my mash isn’t going to well and converting-enough sugars...

Very good website. www.palmbeachbrew.com.au you'll see they have a lot of clone recipes for all different types of beers. I've tried the LCPA one and it worked really well, I use a coopers kit myself. It will,never taste exactly the same as the commercial beer but its pretty close!! You could...

ok, should I boil the cascade hops in a bag or just throw them in loose, and then do I add the hops to the fermenter as well?? also, does this change the amount of time I should leave the wort in the fermenter? At the moment I leave it for six days and then check the SG, once the same two days...

I've just purchased a Coopers DIY brew kit and brewed my first lager which turned out ok. I love American Pale Ale Beers such as little creatures and atomic pale ale. My questions is, I am planning on doing the Coopers Pale Ale for my next brew and was wondering if anyone would know what extra...
