I made that kit many years ago and I thought it was fine. Easy to drink when you eat food. That recipe looks killer dude, sorry I've been watching rockstar supernova.

Before you fix it, make an ice beer. Once in a life time chance to call your beer vanilla ice :D Ok lads I've got to go the joke police are knocking on my.....

Lawnmowing beer and it's a summer ale, I like it. I'm doing my light summer ale now but I can't go past my cooper's real ale, 1/2 kg of light powdered malt, 1/2 kg raw sugar, a couple good spoons of honey ( as apposed to a couple of bad spoons of honey) and a good splat of saaz cones.

I believe the reds rolled Chelsea 2-1 are we witnessing a changing of the guard?

Cheers Josh :) and rightly so it bloody masterpiece!!!!! and I live in the great State and basically I"m extremely jealous of anyone who has crow eater blood coarsing through their veins!!!

Jazzman, as much as that FA Cup hurt, I'd love to see them win the premiership over Chelsea. Having said that Gerard in the world cup was extremely disappointing. Mate thank good for socceroo's, once again the Aussie's proved once they get the hang of something they do it better than the...

Cheers for finding the web link. Ash,I will try the brown, next visit. I had a mid strength Porter there a few years ago and the complexity of the flavour was literally incredible. I would love to know what someone from Kalgoolie makes of his interpretation of Hannans.

G'day, For the West Aussie's I went into Ironbark yesterday and tried his interpretation of Hannan's Lager. Very hoppy, beautiful drop and I'm an ale man. Good kick, 5.5%. He bought the rights to the name, as it was an old Kalgoolie drop, which was redone in the early 90's with slogan...

Check the Coopers Vintage Ale thread out, someone said Cooper's use it for that brew.

I'm still smarting after the FA Cup but love the sandgroper time for EPL, makes for maximum HB sampling hour. Good luck all, KIR.

I highly recommend their pils. Their lager yeast is first class, works very well in the cold, and the kit is beautifully hopped. I didn't have much luck with the Aussie lager kit, and you are on your own with the draught as I haven't tried it yet. Please feed back at the 4 week and 3 month...

... Hair splitting followed by an attempt at side splitting, albeit a poor one. Anyway, the advice stands as it works for me, without any synthetic chemical, bleach etc

Sorry guys I wasn't specific enough for the hair splitters. I consider the head on the stout on the coopers can white. I get a darker head on all beer when I used to get an infection and it doesn't last long. The head we want lasts and is fine and whippy. The 5 litre pressure barrel gives a...

Swan Stout is a great drop at 7.4 % you don't need to visit the fridge too often when watching the rugby. I don't know if it's avaliable in Sydney.

A lot of those commercial beers are summed up beautifully by Laurie Strachan as a beer you wont dislike. EG crown, corona, TED's, millers, etc... but it does take guts to brew something with flavour in Australia eg: Toohey's Old (and not to change the yeast from an Ale to a lager). I've also...

I love the idea of an Aussie Brown Ale. I don't mash but I used to make the Edme Brown Ale kit, 1/2 kg malt light, 1/2kg brown sugar and finish with some northern brewer pellets. Mann's make a brown ale but pricey for a low alcohol and probably pasturised, not sure.

Can't go past Munton traditional bitter for this style in kit form. Haven't had much joy with the muntons yorkie bitter, may be my palate.

I'm fermenting some oranges and about to do lemons. I'm trying beer and champagne yeast. I've done the cider, lemonade and ginger beer kits. The colony west kits are good, I must do the Coopers. I found a batch of Brigalow cider after two years and the beading was fine like champagne and it...

Adamt looks great! Apparently the Vintage uses the Cooper's yeast. Mighty be an option to do a reculture on some Cooper's Sparkling. (and an opportunity to have a few kb's of Coopers :) )
