I just cracked open my first S&W clone. Very nice although I made mine a bit stronger, coming in at 6%. This is the recipe I used: - 2x coppers light malt - 1x briess malt - 10g galaxy hops at 30min - 30g galaxy hops at 15min - 20g galaxy hops at flame out - dry hop another 20g of galaxy about...

Tons and containers!!! Yep. That's the one. Damn autocorrect!! It was late, just got home from work and I was tired lol. That's my excuse. The OG was pretty bitchin, think it was around 1.050, but FG ended up around 1.015. Had a tiny taste from the fermenter and tasted pretty good. To answer...

I'm just counting down the time till I can pop that first bottle open. The S&W is around 4.5%, mine will come in closer to 6% we worked out.

Nizmoose, yep. Trying my hand with a recipe that was worked out with a guy from grape and grain. Used 2 Tons of coopers light malt and 1 container of breiss malt. Using 80g of galaxy hops on a 30min boil, 10g at 30min, then 30g at 15min. Take it off the boil then add another 20g for 15min. After...

Gday Ladies/Gents, Name is Adrian. I received my first home brew kit from my partner christmas just gone. Just one of those Coopers kits from kmart. Who needs to go back to buying beer after using it. There's so much more satisfaction in drinking something you've made yourself. Started first...

Thanks for the info. I'll be using long neck bottles. Mainly glass, but the coopers plastic ones also. I've always used the carbonation drops, but I do find that there is quite a bit of inconsistency with them. One guy that I work with just puts in half a levelled teaspoon of normal sugar in...

Thanks for that. I'll have a look at it when I get home from work tonight. How much carbonation would you get from using 140gms of dextrose. Do you dissolve it in water on the stove first?

Hi guys/girls, I have only just started home brewing since the Christmas gone. Undoubtedly love doing it. There's a certain satisfaction in drinking something you made yourself. On my current brew I did a 30min boil with coopers light malt extract and adding galaxy hops in at certain stages. I'm...
