I have heard of yeasts having killer properties towards other different strains. Im shortly about to put a 2 canner on.. one coopers bitter plus one draught also add 1kg dextrose, plus some cascade hops, for about 25 lt total. Would the draught and bitter yeast be the same? Any help...

Thanks very much deebee, Very informative, yet simple, I will give it a go over the weekend, after I bottle the bavarian wheat ive got going atm, and the u brew it belgian dark ale due ready to bottle also. Ill let u know what it tastes like, and set aside a couple of bottles if its any good...

Being a simple kit brewer in the past, I have now decided to put a bit more experimentation into my beer in the form of adding hops. Im short of coin at the moment, so I only have these ingredients at my disposal Coopers bitter xctract tin 1.25kg dextrose 100g cascade 5-6% alpha acid hops How...

Any idea what a v good condition unopened export stubbie would be worth? It a ring pull top, short squat type of bottle, like the old bundaberg ginger beer type. Someone threw out almost a whole carton, so I scored a few, even tasted a couple, better than the export they make now too.

Thanks Pedro, ill go and give my bavarian wheat a swirl now :beerbang:

Reading thru other threads, A few ppl have mentioned that they swirl the wort around in the fermenter when its almost finished, to reinvigorate the yeast. If the yeast is an ale strain a so called "top fermenter" and it floats on top, then would swirling the wort around cause the yeast to end...

Sail and Anchor pub in freo, on the main drag. Im sure many people in wa have been there, but for those who havent, its sure worth a look. Last beer I had there was a chilli beer, I wouldnt recommend it for someone who cant take the heat, because its not a subtle chilli hit at all. All in all...

Jovial Monk I think you are wise to suggest that option, as a liquid yeast could be obtained quite cheap witha beer to drink as well. I like the hoegaarden option but from what research I have done, I thought that a different yeast was substituted for bottle conditioning (in hoegrdn case).

Asher a Wa brew day sounds like a great idea, will have to start planning a brew in advance :beer:

For a simple good wheat beer, I use esb bavarian wheat 3kg You dont need to add anything else besides the tin and supplied yeast sachet. And perhaps a liquid yeast culture as the others suggest could help, but i havent found it necessary.
