If it starts to leak again maybe try flushing a bit of wort through it, not alot, just enough to clear any debris.

Unless its actually broken internally, there could be some gunk in there holding it open slightly? When you finish this brew, pull it apart and make sure its all ok. It comes apart into two parts im pretty sure.

That taps threaded? This is the coopers snap lock tap

I think the tap he has is a snap lock one. The new coopers kits just snap in, no threads. I have one of these and mine has never leaked, does the rubber seal look healthy?

Hammer n tongs..... tastes like a bartender collected all the dregs left in schooners on a friday night and bottled it.

Yep, im right next to iga. I've still yet to even go there even though I keep telling myself "this weekend"

Thanks for the warm welcome boys, I live a (long) walking distance from mothers milk so I'll be keen for that when it happens.

I just put down that brew, had my first bottle last night. I tweaked the recipe a little and used a morgans tin but it turned out good for a hot day beer. Easy as to drink and I like the citra hops. I went with morgans over coopers by the advice of my hbs guy and i was happy with the choice. It...

Hey guys, Shaunos noticed I lived coffs and told me about the coffs subforum so I thought I'd say hello. Still a noob on extracts, definantly want to move to ag eventually though. 4 brews in and I got the bug :P Doubt any of you will want me at any case swaps yet ;) lol Looking forward to...

Ha, im in the same boat. Thanks Bribie :P

I was planning on doing this one today but if I can get the magnum hops I will definantly wait. Thanks for the offer mate thats much appreciated, pm me with details and how much your willing to let go and cost etc. :)

Thanks for the replies guys. I have my recipe ready to go but I am 90% sure im not going to be able to get magnum hops. Am I right in saying that because they are a bittering hop, I can use another hop of similar aa % and most of the hops flavours will get boiled out after 60mins anyway?

Im also curious as to why neither of the recipes called for dry hopping. Its a pretty aromatic beer so I thought there would be a fair bit of dry hopping involved.

Thanks Indica, how much crystal would you use instead of the 450g?

Thanks mate, have you tried this one? (Ignore that, just re-read your post) :P

Could I brew anything remotely close to this?? I'm still green and doing extract brews so I know I won't get as good a quality as an ag but does anyone have any recipes that comes kind of close? I can however steep grains and boil hops so..... Am i reaching to high for my current expertise...

lol yeah seems that way. I had no idea I promise!! I opted out, everything became a bit to confusing for a newbie.

10g per litre made it nice and fizzy? I would like it more carbed than beer but less than soft drink. Kind of a middle gound

Thanks alot everyone. Be prepared for more newb question in the close future :P
