Hey mate. When you say no activity do you mean that there was no bubbling in the airlock? This does not necessarily mean there is no activity. Are you getting Krausen/foaming top of the wort or up the side of the fermenter? Also it is pretty common for not much activity to occur for 12-36 hours...

I think I pitched at about 22 and kept it around 20-ish for the ferment. Was the quickest over ever had airlock activity, about an hour or two and was in full swing

I too am keen for some advice on the airlock bubbling straight away. Had a brew recently where this happened and all others I had to wait 12-36 hours before airlock activity. Got down to a reasonable FG (SG1.060- FG1.020) and stayed there for a week and no bottle bombs yet after bottling.

I’ve never tried but sounds fairly easy. Do you do it only with CPA or are there other beers it works with as well?

Hey philrob. Sure am, great spot. Where abouts in the bay are you? This is great news, I was wondering if there was anything like this locally, would love to get involved! Right now no one I know around here brews so no one to swap brews with or shoot the ****. I used to live in Georgetown so...

I'm relatively new to this as well. Only put down about 4 so far but am becoming quickly obsessed. Keep in mind I am by no means an expert so I may be wrong with some of the below. What I have read is that the most important things for homebrewing are Cleaning/sanitisation Temperature...

Hi Young gun. I put one of these down last brew. I remember when reading about it that the tin actually uses Ale yeast not larger yeast so I treated it as such and tried to keep Fermenter between 18-22 (was hard as was in the hotter months the fermenter probably got up to 24 or so which would...

Nice. I’ve been meaning to try the Cooper’s pale ale kit. Any good?

Yeah I read on Rate and Review Homebrew Beer Kits - Rate Beer Kits that the bitterness was fairly low but seems like a good base to muck around with. Adding the early boil hops helped a lot. I’m gonna be mighty thirsty waiting for it to carbonate now.

So I ended up making this and bottled a couple of days ago. Only difference to the above was I added about a cup or so of quick oats in the mash for mouthfeel and the hop amounts were slightly different as I was using 50-55 gram (slightly less than 2 oz) lots instead of ounces. Used US 05 and...

Hey everyone, Looking at putting down a brew soon. Did a partial mash using the guide stickied to the partial mash forum (https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/pimping-a-coopers-kit-with-a-partial-mash.72607/) and was pretty pleased with the result so will be doing again but unsure on my hop...
