Thanks for the tip mate, I had sworn I read recommendations for yeast starters, likely Ive gotten my wires crossed, I will do some more reading! Either way I'll keep using the coopers yeast for now, sounds like you get great milage from a 6 pack!

Tallie is Queenslander for a long neck, or a 750/800ml bottle.

my understanding is that the yeast used in their commercial beers is unavailable otherwise, therefore reculturing coopers yeast from the bottle is needed if trying to get a clone closer to the original. As well as this point I am doing it because I enjoy the process, am shaving dollars of my...

To be honest this has been almost my favourite part of the process @Vini2ton , propagating the coopers yest! I wonder after your aBove comments, can I now harvest coopers yeast from my tallies rather than harvesting fro. The FV and clean up the trub?

Thanks for the reply mate cheers, that's what I ended up doing, stepping the tallie up

Hello as the title states, can I grab the coopers yeast from a can, or is it a different manufacturing process to bottles?? I generally don't drink cans, but I can't walk past those CPA 440ml cans with out grabbing a box... However I now need to brew up some Coopers yeast and only have 1 tallie...

I also do remember just following the 2 carbonation drops per tallies rule years ago, and the beer always had big bubbles like a Coles brand soda water vs the top shelf stuff... I presume this is due the the.co2 volume right?

@philrob sg was high because I evapped a bit much off, final volume was 19l I presume that's the reason for high sg, the batch after this yielded 1.046 sg at 21l, however did a step and rest mash. either ways guys, this batch is in the hands for the yeast gods now, bottled today with...

Yes pretty close to that timeline, as I was hot I was trying to cool quickly, so the urn wasn't lagged and the element off and stirred to get the heat down. I overshot and the temp, and brought back up

apologies @philrob i didnt understand your post, yes i use hydrometer, no need for refractometer conversion.

yes of course my hrdrometer reads 1.0000000with my brew water

Mate it would be awesome if you.could post the chart, of course if no hassle on your end, cheers

Gday, I measured with hydrometer and above readings adjusted for temp. Bottle bombs is a concern, though I am becoming more.confident fermentation is complete. Cheers

Thanks for the reply @philrob apologies for the lack.of data, however u have answered my question superbly, and I didn't add overkill info as I thought it didn't pertain to my question. As you have asked I will add the following. 26l water at 74 4kg Joe white pale 500g Joe white wheat 75g dark...

G'day, I'm wondering if there are any negative implications in drinking a higher than expected FG beer. I see plenty of advice saying if it's finished higher and tastes fine.. bottle it up and enjoy etc.... I am.almost certain mine has finished, it was my first biab and I wasn't certain how my...

@S.E Mate great suggestion, and infact I've been on the look out for quite sometime, op shops I've never found decent sizes, I have a 7.5l already but am on the hunt for something around 20l. Big w has some cheapies I've had my eye on. I'm not scared of spending money here and there, just not...

Great write up @MHB , Appreciate the time taken to summarise in a clear concise fashion! I do see the volume dilemma, however you've provided a great understanding, and as suggested I think I can achieve my goal with a combination of approaches and good planning.

Cheers mate for the great info, and yes please post the math if no hassle. As for purchasing a system, we'll I'm not looking to spend any more money, and luckily havent had to buy much more than empty tallies... trying to make do with what I have. I'm manually agitating the brew at this stage...

Cheers @BrewLizard the Hot water is a great suggestion!

Hey mate I'm in bris and have been using a large esky standing on its end to allow for the height of my FV with airlock on top. I change a frozen bottle of water once a day and keeps the esky sitting around 19 degrees.
