Hey guys got my dad into brewing and we need to boil 12g of hops for this larger.. i havent boiled hops in just straight water only after a mini mash.. so how much water should i use?

can i get idopher (spelling) the no rinse sanitiser from my local supermarket?

yeast cake has built up and is bubbling away..

yes filled it so there werent any bubbles from the tap fermenter had just been cleaned also the tap was clean i filled it to about 3/4 mark.. like usual.. put it flat on the table dropped it in and gave it a little twirl..

amber malt was not boiled.. and i strained the grains and rinsed (with a little boiled water) my hydrometer has given me 3 seperate readings now.. also my last brew gave me a few different ones.. starting to think my hydrometer might be the problem..

yes sorry was the amber liquid malt.. am tired am starting to think my hydrometer maybe reading wrong as it is now reading 1010 was at 1003.. have done another beer enhancer that was pretty much the same as this which worked fine exept this time i bought ingredients seperately.. was unhopped...

was taken from the tap so the bottom.. the hbs said put it in at those times so i did what they said.. will try another hydro test first tho.. and test in plain water..

ok put my first extract down just then.. boiled all my stuff at the times i was given from my lhbs (its one of their recipies) put it in the fermenter with my unhopped malt goop.. put yeast in but my hydrometer reading it at like 1003!! whats gone wrong or is my hydrometer reading wrong...

Hey guys, my first brew was a draught was a big hit with the boys had 28 long necks gone in 1 weekend.. now for my next brew im thinking of making another.. was thinking of using the coopers traditional draught as a base: http://www.coopers.com.au/homebrew/hbrew.p...id=1&id=121 but also want...

i got a bag of hops and things to boil (i have no clue what is was) was a brew enhancer kit so it had grain and hops in it that i had to strain out before putting it into the fermenter with the coopers kit.. tasted my pale ale and it has the same fruitiness flavour i think it may be the yeast...

Hey guys have had my coopers larger in for over a week now.. and its sitting on 1020 i boiled a kit i got from my HBS and added 500g of brew sugar and 1kg of Light dried malt extract followed up by safale us - 05 yeast now i have been noticing the temp strip go up to 26dC by itself.. like last...

i think your spot on the money there.. i used cascade hopts safale yeast in a coopers apa kit.. but i couldnt put my finger on it but now i think about it, it is citrusy as for adding the hops they were thrown in before i pitched like my LHBS said todo how ever for my next larger i have a Dried...

nah not really a vinegar taste..

Hey guys just bottled my pale ale, It has a sort of acidicy sour taste to it.. i added cascade hops pellets and us-05 yeast. the beer itself tastes ok but has this acidicy after taste to it not really sour.. is the beer ok and does it just need ageing? i was thinking of leaving it in the...
