I was thinking along similar lines. I sent an email to the manufacturer and am awaiting their reply. I'll let you know.

Problem: On just plain water, the unit filter approximately one litre per 5 minutes, so I would imaging beer would be slower due to build up on the filter. The vinyl tubing does have flattened sections which restrict flow, but I can't seem to get them out. Coil your tubing up, put it in a...

Turned out great! Even after I stuffed up the hops. The initial sensation is that of CPA followed by intense hops and strong follow up bitterness. Quite pleasant now after being in the bottle for a fortnight but was a bit nasty straight out of the fermenter. A bit like Fat Yak now. I'll...

"Phantastic" idea! I guess your going to end up with a hell of a lot of beer to dispose of and if you need a hand, let me know your address. I'm sure I could assist in some small way.

will do. Thanks. :D

This was my first effort and I love it....... 5 litres of hot water with 1kg of Muntons dry wheat malt plus the Brewcraft KC No 66, boiled for 1 minute with the supplied hop satchel, 10 minute stand then ditch the hops. Half of this into the fermenter with 10 litres of cold water. Morgans Golden...

A foam dispenser for fighting little fires.

Thanks all. Got it set at 17C so we'll see how it goes.

I have re-cultured some CPA yeast to use in my next brew, a kk CPA clone from the data base, what is the best temp for fermentation with this yeast? Any one have an idea? Also, in the beer designer, which yeast should I pick to mirror the CPA culture?

I hear you brother!

Bottled today at 1014........tastes okay........I'll give it 4 days and have a try.

Yep. That's what I was after. Thanks for your advice.

20gms Hallertauer in 500ml boiling water for 5mins, allowed to sit for 20mins, cooled to 19C and added to the wort and it is bubbling away again quite happily. Hope I've done the right thing.

Yes that's right. It still has a way to go yet to achieve FG 1014 so some sugars are still present giving it a sweetish taste.

I have a wheat beer brew in the fermenter and its been in there now for 9 days. sg is down to 1021 but it is very slow now (at 18.5C) The taste is great with cloves and other nice esters, although still a little too sweet at the moment. It is very light on hops as a wheat beer usually is but...

A week in the fermenter now and it's down to 1025. Thought it would have been lower than that by now. Still it is still working, albeit rather slowly. I'm going to run out of beer howver if it doesn't get a move on. :(

I might have a crack at a braggot myself later. We get some real nice honey here when the wild flowers are in bloom. I'd be interested in knowing the outcome of yours.

No. Using Fermentis WB06 and at 18 - 19C

Down to 1034 today (19th) and developing a nice clove taste and other fruity overtones appearing too but hard to put a name to them yet. Still bubbling away slowly.

I imagine that if Coles and Woolies have stopped stocking Coopers it would be for the same reason they have dropped some very good brands of other products. ie. They put the heavies on the company to package their product in the "Fresh" or "Coles" or "Black and Gold" brand or whatever, and...
