coopers euro lager comes with a genuine lager yeast.

from what i've heard infections are usually sour. hold a sample up to the light and look for any abnormalities such as strings, cloudiness or slime etc. How does it smell? perhaps you just used too much hops?

lol :D , i'm sure you could knock one of those down in a few hours, eh?

Wow, I was under the impression there were actually hops in these finisihing hop tablets :lol:

What are your ideas as to the reason behind the lack of flavour and aroma? shitty hops? oxidation perhaps?

''I've polished off a 5L of Konig Pilsner by myself in an afternoon/night. Only took 10 hours, and not a hint of a hangover the next day....'' Congratulations - your a pisshead. :lol:

Found this on net, hope you found it as amusing as I Teens Get Drunk On Award-Winning Microbrew Subtle Interplay Of All-Wheat Malt, Varietal Hops Goes Tragically Unappreciated EAST BRUNSWICK, NJThe subtle interplay of the three varietal hops in MacTadcaster's Nut Brown Stout went...

My tastebuds dictate to my brain, i can't help it :D

I will swap you for a case of Kstritzer Schwarzbier!

I almost regret ever trying (good) German beer..I remember the days when V.B tasted pretty bloody good. :P

I think Lagers are meant to smell farty/eggy while fermenting, this is a good sign! I have seen those tablets in k-mart before, im a little skeptical as to their freshness.(as with everything in large retail outlets!)

All beer in Germany may follow the reinheitsgebot and they may use all the same ingredients but they sure don't taste all the same. Sure you could say that if something is cheap then it isn't necessarily of lower quality but the statistics prove otherwise. Go buy a block of Tasmanian Bitter (30...

I have been livin in Germany for the last couple of years and i found it very difficult to go from drinking amazing beer at VERY cheap prices to being back home and payin no less than 50 bucks just to get something that doesnt taste like water/ sht/ p.o.r. One of the main reasons why i got into...

To call somebody an 'Oettinger drinker' in germany is considered an insult on par with saying a person is a 'Emu Export drinker' in Australia. Oettinger is THE worst beer you can buy in germany, from memory i think it sells for roughly 30c() per 500ml bottle, but import it to aus, say it is a...

I just laid down a lager and i got it down to about 15c before i pitched and now it is in the cellar at around 9c, and i think maybe your temps were too high( aim for somewhere around 10-12, no higher) - whether this is what caused the cloudiness i don't know? do a bit of research on lagers and...

I have been meaning to brew a lager for a while now and with the weather being as cold as 3c at night i thought i should make hay while the sun shines so out i went and bought the coopers european lager. reading others posts i decided to modify the kit somewhat and bought some carapils and...

Thats sounds like a good recipe, but unless you state how much water was added to the final mix then it is useless information. Please don't assume that everyone brews at 23 litres.

I leave my stout in the primary for 21 days and i got it to a fg of 1013, so leave it in for longer and stir it a bit every now and then and you will most likely get it to drop further. my opinion is that the yeast do most of their work in the first week but they continue working for a long time...

??? I didnt say it would not work or that it wouldnt taste nice, just that the sugars in jelly beans arent fully fermentable. take your time to properly read posts before you reply. Hmmmm...

i just done my first stout (but not my last!) and it went something like this: coopers irish stout 300g roast barley 100g choc malt 200g dark crystal 500g dark dry malt 300g dex 20g p.o.r for 20min safale so4 yeast og-1045 fg-1013 when fermentation had slowed right down i added the...
