    Coopers golden ale recipe help

    And I've also stocked up quiet well on coopers carbonation drops, haven't considered the method you talked about as it's easy for me to put the drops on each beer bottle

    Coopers golden ale recipe help

    @hoppy2B hey just a quick question, there is way too much trub it's actually over the drainage plug, I'm thinking to rack the brew to a clean water container (frantelle water) while I clean out the fermenter then put the brew back in it and cold crash, as I won't be able to bottle my beer with...

    Coopers golden ale recipe help

    So you don't put a lid on you just seal it with glad wrap? Do you find it better then using a air lock system? As my fridge does not fit the airlock I had to make a bottle with water with plastic tubing that leads into the top of the fermenter

    Coopers golden ale recipe help

    I ended up rehydrating the bry-50 and only throwing that in. I've got it in the fridge at 18 degrees, since I didn't pitch the coopers yeast how much longer should I let this brew ferment before I dry hop it? Or should I just wait until the fermentation stops bubbling away ? Cheers for the advice
