    Post Here If You're A New Brewer And You Love It....

    Australia Pale Ale

    BadT... I recently did one of these 21ltr with 40g Cascade Hops, 1kg of Light Dry Malt, 500g of Dextrose and the US-05 yeast - fermented 2.5 weeks, left in bottles for a month and it came out a treat! My mates have agreed it's my best to date. Have fun with this one mate! If you keep the temps...

    Bitsa - Advice Please

    Wyatt, I put down something similar two months ago, less the 500g DME... it came out okay, but possibly not enough malt included in the recipe, as some mates have commented it's a touch too bitter. So I reckon your spot on there. FYI my mix was: 21ltr - two week ferment 1*Coopers APA Tin 1kg...

    Cooper's Kit: Slight Changes To The Instructions?

    BCP - I use Melbourne water, and the reason to be honest, I'm simply too lazy to boil it. Hasn't ruined any beers yet, but then again, have nothing to compare it to. A mate of mine buys filtered water in 5/10ltr containers from the supermarket, each to their own I guess, but if it's your first...

    Corona

    Riverside, Just to put my 2c in... I did a coopers cerveza kit about two months ago... added in the rind of six lemons, 1.5kg of BE2 (or BE1 can't recall), and 20g of Cascade @ 30, 10g @ 10 and 10g at 5. Also used Safale04 yeast. I've been worried since the start as it was my first move away...

    Coopers Ipa Kit And Adding Hops

    Thanks to all - in honesty the volume hadn't even been considered - will take the advice RE: volume and just plod as planned.

    Coopers Ipa Kit And Adding Hops

    Thanks mate! My immediate reaction is this is going to be way too high in the IBU stakes! Target = 9.4% EK Goldings = 4.8%

    Coopers Ipa Kit And Adding Hops

    Hello brewers... Just throwing this one out there - interested to see if I get a bite before I start the boil. I'm planning on doing a hoppy English version of Coopers IPA (been doing basic kits for awhile) and looking to start messing around with hops. Some research on the web found varying...
