I'd never willingly add it. If/when I get around to another ginger beer, I will try one from scratch I think. When I was looking at the tins, there were some older Coopers tins that had 2 sweeteners listed, and newer tins with only 1. All of the Brigalow tins had 2 sweeteners listed. So...

Big W in Watergardens had it a while ago, looked like a regular item. As an aside, is anyone able to taste the artificial sweetener in this? I can't stand diet softdrinks and the sweetener has such a distinct taste. I tipped all of my Ginger beer bottles out after waiting over a month to see...

This is true. They did start to taste similar though, especially all the Black IPA's. So consider the ratings relative to each other. I really wanted to get some pots of the beers I liked a lot, but just no time with only 4hr sessions. Yea over Fri night, both sessions Sat, and the single...

Yep, I'd rather brew 2 or 3 beers myself and get more experience than buy a slab. I may have a different view if I was earning more $$ than I currently am. I have not bought a slab of anything for years. I'd rather try individual beers as there is a crapload to still taste :)

How much water fits in an 18m coil? I don't know if it will require 20 or 40L or a bit more, but I will find out I guess :) My only issue is having enough frozen vessels to cool the water down with, bugger all freezer space. Could possibly add in a radiator with fan to the loop. Just...

A bit late, but here are my tasting notes. Yes, notes for every beer I tasted, which was most of them... Copied from Coopers forum. Bear in mind, after so many tastings, I may have scored something 1 point or so lower than if I had a clean palette. 1 beer I actually scored down when I tried it...

My plan is to make the chiller, and use a $13 pond pump to pump a limited amount of water through the loop, cooled by frozen plastic ice bricks or the reusable sealed dry ice. No need to waste 100s of litres of water. 20L should be enough I am thinking.

If you both punch in the harvest %AA, and use different boil volumes, the IBU will be different. Maybe that is why.

Was going to wait until next payday, but I just checked now and only 5 left. So I snapped it up and threw i na new bathmat to tip me over $100 for free shipping. $110 shipped for a nice new 50L pot and bathmat aint bad :)

Thanks guys! All my spare time is AG research, kegging research...

Going to pick mine up for $139 today. Taylors Lakes had no stock on Sunday, and havn't called me back about ordering one for me, so I asked the City store and they have stock and will do the sale price for me. It looks pretty sturdy, and from all accounts uses less gas for a stonger boil than...

Hi Guys, I have been on the Coopers forum for a while, and started with the Coopers kits. First one was years ago, and that kit Lager I brewed was...unique. The FV and PET's sat unused for a few years. Then I had the urge to give it another crack. Then I bought another beer kit, and a 3rd. I...
