Yeah I'll do that actually . I wanna find a mix that's close to the great northerns or the xxxx summers then I'll be happy lol

Can I just sprinkle it on top . I it told to activate it by adding a tiny bit of sugar and water to start it off . I have steralised my kit so I might hold off untill tomorrow when I can buy some us-05 yeast

As I mentioned above I changed my mind to the coopers australian ale one green tin . Is the kit yeast ok to use . ???

I just have a Esky and I was gonna sit the tub in that and half fill with water then rotate some frozen water bottles

With the pale ale is there a reading it should read on hydrometer ???

I am looking for a beer to brew which is close to the great northern or xxxx summer . In the coopers range what would be the closest ?? Canadian blonde ? Real ale ??

What's best way to do it ? Been told chuck ya molasis and sugar what ever in drum. Add 4 liters got water and mix then add 10 liters of fridge water then 10 l tap water then sprinkle yeast in

Soooooo much to learn it's all exciting . I been told not to leave more then seven days because it will over ferment lol goes to show how much they knew lol .

I am a newbie when it comes to this home bee stuff lol . So roughly how long does it take to get to those numbers u said ??? About 10 days

I'm gonna use a us 05 yeast . Sprinkle it in. I got told to chuck the mix in and sugar ( brew enhancer . 4 liters of hot water ( stir it up ) then 10 l or cold fridge water then 10 l of tap water then sprinkle yeast in . What should it read gravity wise or what ever it is when I do a sample ???

I changed my mind which brew I'm gonna do. Got two . I'm gonna put down the " coopers australian pale ale " with the brew enhancer 2 .gonna try keep temp around 18 deg

Just got the 23 litre plastic drum or what ever and just the coopers larger and sugar

Yeah I have been told to have temps about no more the 18 . I'll try the us 05 yeast . I have been told if it's about 18 u can leave for 10 days prior to bottling . And what should it read for a cooper lager on the hydrometer or what ever it's called

I Am putting down my second batch of coopers lager I have been told SO many things . I'm gonna use just the packet yeast . I have been told to leave it for a week then others have said leve it for 2 weeks before bottling . Is there a general rule of thumb .

It was 16 for about two das but normally around 18-22 the first batch . It's been bottles about 4 weeks now I use carb drops and 750 ml plastic bottles and a few 375 ml glass bottles . When ya twist the top it doesn't sound to gassy but it does have good head . I don't normally use hydrometer...
