Around 3 a day normally, some days I won't drink other days I will have 7 or 8 though. Averaged over a week maybe 4 or 5 sixpacks.... certainly a lot more than the pre brewing days.

I gave the roaches a good blast of mortein, thought it would do it....

Just bottled my current brew then noticed this, normal or infection? looks awefully bacterial to me. Smelled ok, didn't bother tasting any though.

Ianh's kit extract spreadsheet says it should be around 1.044 sg if made to 29 litres, High 4 percents depending on your attenuation.

Should be fine, just don't let the dextrose police catch you. I would wait for the krausen to start to die down if you have a good head on it already, if it's still building steam then you could probably just add it now. Boil it up in a little water to disolve it, wait for it to cool down to...

I've been getting the error on firefox the last few days as well, oddly I can log in if i put something in the cart go to checkout and log in from there..... go figure

My bet would also be that your tin syrup was hanging around the bottom. Just bang in additional fermentables now, another kg should get it back to full strength.

Interesting, so they are fully concentrated wort that doesn't require additional sugars to brew and pitched at around the price point of buying fresh wort kits. Think I will give them a pass, though I wouldnt mind a couple of small 15 litre fermenters so I can split batches and hop the base brew...

Anyone know anything about these new coopers "craft brew" kits? for 8.5 litres they seem pretty damn expensive

I always just drop my pellets in and don't worry about any bags or the like

If it's food quality I don't see why you couldn't. That's a hell lot of beer though.

I think it will be fine and tasty, I think the best thing about the blonde kit is that it has very little flavour, allows whatever you add to shine through.

I have been pitching my Notto between 18 and 22 then dropping to 16, you won't have killed your yeast at that temp and honestly it will probably be fine. Some one might be able to tell you from experience if you may get some funky tastes coming through, I would doubt it though assuming you still...

Nice looking recipe, might have to pick up some simcoe and centrnnial to give it a go. Oh, and grab the malts as well given the only stuff I have left is chocolate malt.

Mostly as i have it, don't have time to go for a drive to pick up more light dry malt and don't want down time on my fermenter.

It would be coopers liquid malt and yeah, I believe their wheat is a mix though I don't know the ratio. I was actually going to go for an english hopped IPA, probably challanger and EKG and since I have nottingham in the bucket at the moment I would just roll that over for another batch. I was...

Anybody ever tried making an IPA with equal parts liquid light malt and wheat malt?

It would be unusual for coopers to run out of coopers stock....

I don't have a recipe but on my list of things to try is a hallertau hopped pilsner...

Their unhopped wheat extract is particularly great value for money, couldn't resist picking up a couple of them as well in my order
