You look like you've wheelie bin a bit busy then..... ;)

LOL, very, very poor effort (still, a slight giggle). Thanks for clearing that up. Am keen to know how this turns out. I'm putting down a Coopers 2 can on the weekend (earlier post).

What does pale Male mean? What is the total litreage? Yeast? Sorry, just keen to get one of these beautiful bad boys of my own going. almost tempted to rush down to the offie for a cheeky fat yak..!!!

Still a bit new Zoidy. Can you break down your recipe for me (ie times, dates, ingredients etc) sorry.

What you gonna put down zoidy??

+1 zoidbergmerc tried this about 6 months ago in Penola, SA, and was completely blown away. had a few last night and same same. the hops in this brew are amazing. brilliant pallet. would love an extract recipe if possible. off topic, but has anyone tried that Red Angus (or similar)? got a...

Hey bum, I used to be in the Navy, and as we used to say, Navy stood for Never Again Volunteer Yourself, however in ths case I reckon I can make an exception. I'll put it down this long weekend. :)

Hey Schooey, don't think I'll make it that far north by Easter so how about sending a few bottles of the local produce down south to gods own (adelaide....)?

Just checking out the Coopers website and came across this interesting brew. What do you guys think? 1.7kg Coopers pale ale 1.7kg Coopers dark ale 10g East Kent Goldings @ 20 mins 20g East Kent Goldings steeped @ 30 mins 2 x packet yeasts Any ideas or anyone tried anything similar?

Yep sorry, a typo. I meant about 18 degrees.

Really looking forward to getting set up in Williamstown, it really is a beautiful little hamlet to live in. We bought in the new estate and got a decent sized piece of land. C_west, I looked up a few videos on YouTube last night before I posted this original post, and I saw it didn't look as...

Ok. I am building a new house with the missus in Williamstown, SA (beautiful part of the South Barossa), which I plan to build a shed/bar onto the block (out of 1050m2 I get a whole shed!!!). Anyway, I am thinking of incorporating a bit of a brewery into this shed. My question is, I have only...

What temp you brewing it at to use the 2 x yeast? Maybe some dry hopping later on to add some flavour....

Checked the thermometer in the fridge with the door open and it read about 20 degrees (shitty plastic thermometer on the side of the tub said 16-17 degrees). Was thinking 20 degrees might be a bit on the upper end for the yeast. Was trying to get this to brew around a constant 18 degrees-ish...

Just checked the brew. It's sitting in the garage in a fridge which is turned off and temp of brew is about 17ish degrees. It's not too warm here in Adelaides north (28-30 during day down to about 14 at night) so should be able to shut door of fridge at night and leave it slightly ajar...

Just wanted to say thanks to all you guys for the help, and in light of Manticles pearls of wisdom ;-), thought I'd lay something down. Just put in the fridge: 1.7kg Coopers Traditional Draught 1.5kg Amber Malt Extract 300g dextrose 30g Cascade @ 60 mins 10g Cascade @ 30 mins 10g Cascade @...

So just to clarify. Do you guys leave the hops in the water and add the whole thing to the wort, or strain just the hopped water into the wort?

Thanks for the advice manticle. I guess at the end of the day you just gotta try somethings. Cheers :)

Thanks for the info all, and yeah, point taken Manticle. I have looked on this site for a few different APA recipes and have come across a lot of different variations on an APA, with most seeming to suggest using one of the "C" hops. The reason I asked such a broad type of question, is that I...
