i did my first ginger beer with this method about 3 weeks ago, worked great and i was able to smell the fermenting process alot better than sniffing at the airlock.

this had tempted me to try another cider now, wasn't a real fan until recently. will give this a go for sure.

yeah, i have made a smashing toucan using 2 cans of homebrand lager, DME , us-05 and some hallertau hops. goes down really nice!

if its a brigalow can. mine did the same thing, i bottled mine as per the instructions, didn't reduce the priming sugar at all. and it turned out fine. congrats on the new hobby BTW

wow tons of replies already at the moment i have 2 fermenters but will be losing 1 when i move out so im after a fermenter for primary (i want to try and keep 2 full) and something for racking and bulk priming. Cospack have some very nice containers but i think they are fairly expensive. so...

Hey Chums im looking into buying a new container/fermenter so im able to rack, bulk prime etc. what clever products have users come accross instead of paying $35+ for a new fermenter. a local place in SA has 20L drums for $15 each but it doesn't say if they are food grade Paramount Browns 20L...

okay next toucan i'm beginning to line up and looking for peoples input into my recipe im looking at making a beer similar to Coopers Extra Stout (i had on on sunday morning with my bacon and eggs and thought.....hhhmm delicious) would the following give me something reasonably close to that...

okay so in saying that there is a little benefit to this, but is not worth it. is it possibly to use the kit yeast as a nutrient like everyone has mentioned for another kit yeast?

Hey everyone, i've had a search on the forums but was unable to locate the info im after and i've made the magnetic stirrer from one of the many DIY's available on here and on the net. With the standard kit yeasts available with the regular coopers kits is there any benefit in making a yeast...

with your amazing spreadsheet, is it as simple as just hitting "New Recipe" selecting what i want from the lists (ie kits, DME, grains, hops & boil times) and its as simple as that? or is there more to it?

thanks for the help, i'm beginning to understand what your saying, but its all very hard to understand being a noob.....and more into cars at this stage (lol) so revised brew 1x Coopers lager (came with the kit) 1x Home brand lager 250g of LDME 12g of Hallertau hops steeped for 15 mins and...
