When? give me a date please?

50 - 75 of each still comes to 100 - 150g of crystal overall which is still a decent addition for a kit brew. crystal, when used with kits can cause a beer to become abit syrupy if used in excess. I personally prefer crystal for ag, and use liq wheat malt for better head ret'n in kits, but...

drop the crystal back to 50 - 75g of each, it doesnt go as well in kits as ag

pretty sure he said it tastes like champaigne/cider

looks like the matrix is raining numbers in your bottle! now where did i put that tab...

Faaark, thats heavy doc... good to hear you were not injured

just thought it's worth noting that the hop plant (Humulus Lupulus) and the cannabis plant are closely related, both belong to the Cannabaceae family.

'milky looking' - doesn't sound very promising

Thanks, the last time i used this yeast the temps got a bit out of control (26c)..and there was the banana aroma coming through :( The one i have now is sitting at about 16c and smells alot cleaner. cheers :icon_cheers:

G'day All, Does anybody know what the lowest temperature recult'd Coopers yeast can handle before it falls asleep? Any info much appreciated, Cheers!

a couple crates of whiskey lost in Antartica for 100 years? good luck finding them!

Beerbouy, just pour your wort into a clean 40 gal drum and leave it in your backyard to ferment (with the lid off). you should notice some activity within the first 3-4 days as your brew is fermented by wild yeast strains. It wont win any awards, but it will ya pissed. just my two cents...

too much crystal = :icon_vomit:
