Hey guys bump to update the beer has now been bottled 6 wks and only had a faint 'tfff" of air released when opening. So there is obviously some yeast struggling In there. Finally got a syringe and have added 1ml of the same yeast harvested from the original brew. Hoping this works I've never...

Thanks for the info mate been hanging for the release date of Aussie ale. Not able to get coopers over here to harvest.

found some more photos of a few nice beers so while im at it very nice winter warmer quite different with a bit of piney taste coming through. terrible photo but the beer even though i paid close to ($20) was worth every penny. this brewery has every right to be arrogant. way too...

Happy New years people. all alone this newyears as the missus works and i cant be arsed to hit the streets and deal with so i thought i would pull a few from the cellar this evening to enjoy. oude beersel-oude geuze vielle just finishing now and im wishing i let it sit to get warmer then...

Can't help you buying commercial models. But I strongly recommend making one you could probably have 3 or more for that price with a bit of scrounging for old computers especially external hard drives. I think there's a thread something like '$20 stir plate' or even a newer refined post of the...

Oh yeh forgot about that. A lighter won't work on these bottles. I had a nice sharp steel one that barmen use it worked a treat.

Used them for about a year with no problems. I was using carb drops at the time. There compact size was perfect for my tiny bar fridge door. Only gripe would be with cleaning but Fine if you rinse after use and don't let sit to get grotty. And you have to pour your beer a bit slower then other...

Mate pull your head out there has been no mention of buying anything new and considering I'm in Sweden I wouldn't be buying from the guy your talking about. If anyone would be the troll it would be you name dropping in my post. As for my problem if you dont have any reasonable input dont...

Ok guys try and answer most things in 1 post here. @ beers 4u . although I wouldn't rule it out I did rinse the bottles twice with hot water after using the oxi. Bur I agree it would be detrimental to my yeast hence the reasoning behind rinsing when apparently not necessary in the first place...

Yeh the bottles are in a box in the apartment which is around 20deg. Isn't very sweet no but I can't imagine that little sugar would adversely change the taste too much. But yes I was only thinking a little bit. I think I will just experiment with one or 2. Or even possibly split half to...

Yeast was a fresh vial and is a new strain so possibly there is flaws in it. I haven't done much research on it but will do now. They claim the yeast should ferment any beer in 3 days and I left mine in first for over a week and the beer wasnt at all hazy coming from the first hence my thoughts...

Dextrose was added to 200ml boiling water in a flask and let to chill a bit then added to the secondary 5 mins before bottling. I also have opened about 4 or 5 different bottles thinking maybe I didn't mix it well enough but they all seem the same.

No probs my post probably could be a bit clearer. And I do tend to rabble on. Bottles are first time use other then original bought beer. Bottles where sanitized with chemipro oxi and although unnecessary where rinsed out twice with hot water

Actually night for me over here(Sweden) but good morning to you back home. Yes I'd be worried also if I put 60g in a 10 gallon batch lucky for me it's only a 10 litre batch which works out with my calcs to be somewhere in-between 2.0-2.5 vol.

Yeh OG 1049 And FG 1012

Hey guys had a porter bottled for 3wks and I litteraly have zero carbonation. It was a AG 10litre batch and was bulk primed with about 60g dex. My only thought is the yeast. It's my first batch with the wlp 090 san diego super yeast. Ferment was close to spot on my calcs. And was vigorous...

Unsure if you guys back Home have this beer but living abroad I've recently been sipping on the' flying dogs- raging bitch ' Belgian ipa 8.1% and ibu 60. Amazing drop so been searching for a recipe I've found they use a Belgian wit ale yeast wlp400 under there name el diablo yeast I'm guessing...

I'm moving to sweden today so me and my old man pulled out some of our coopers vintage last night for a little taste test. Ended up tasting 07-08-09-10 with 11 already being fresh on my mind from only a week or so ago and felt it needed to be banished to the celler for a year unfortunately i...
