Fermentation went good, added hops after 4 days, it was all finished after 5, bottled on day 6. FG @ 18c : 1012 solid for 2 1/2 days Using Coopers PET bottles and Carb Drops, let them now sit for a few weeks in similar temperatures and then taste test time :)

Keifer33, the smell of the boil was intense - I was on a high :) Wort is going strong, I placed some frozen coke bottles in the trough today and covered with a blanket, been constant pretty much all day. It is a bit annoying removing the blanket to check the temp when watching it, so I decided...

Got some info on the digital thermometer?

RobH - Sounds very nice :) I will watch out for that bubblegum taste, now that I know about it I could be biased though, so I will get some mates to taste if I have suspicions Well Im all finished up - after doing my first boil I now know I need a bigger stockpot. My general purpose pot was...

Ok, Im all set and ready to go. Ended up buying Brewcraft no Rinse as the other places I went to couldn't really tell me much about the product they were trying to sell me. I have heard that its the goods - time will tell I guess :) Brewing night is tonight - Kids in bed and misses is out with...

Im thinking of making one of these for my fermenters over summer - Should be ok in the house out of direct sunlight. I am trying to get a second fridge to use for this purpose, but over Christmas with family down it will be needed as a real fridge. Maybe layering the foam in a torsion box style...

Goomba: Thanks for that, I like trying new stuff and really want to improve myself. I mean I love the taste of my current beers and could drink them for another few batches, but wheres the fun in that? :) I can revisit them down the track and make some more improvements for a nice simple party...

Wow, thanks. Some great info there :) I am about ready to head down to the LHBS and pickup some supplies. Ive found he is ok for getting supplies but very rude and not interested at all when it comes to helping me out. Last time I was thinking of using a different yeast and asked him for some...

Hi everyone, Looking to do something I havnt done before: Dark Ale with hops My last batch was quote good using a Real Ale kit and some LME and Dextrose, 40g of Amarillo dry hopped. I want to move up a level and get into some real hopping :) Here is a recipe I have put together while doing...

Awesome, 1:44 has to be the best :D

Im saving this recipe down for the day I move over to Extract, Im only on my 2nd brew right now which is a base beer really. Where is the best place to buy hops from in Melbourne or is it best to just order online? Any favorites? I have never done this method and will do some more research...

Or if your just starting out like me. I seen a beer brewing kit in coles and thought it would be good to get into, 10 mins of searching when i got home and was learning stuff from craigs videos, been watching him since then and enjoy them. Screwy, that cider sounds pretty good and I have been...

Man this site is full of useful tips and info :) I started the batch today using only the base ingredients and, like I said before, will modify to learn more about hopping :) Ive just used the coopers can yeast. AFAIK this still comes with a larger yeast so needs the warmer temperatures? I...

Ive started writing down my findings in a little notebook, so I think I will just use what I have and then take notes etc form when tasting. If i like the taste I can always improve given the suggestions above ^^ Thanks for those guys. I was just getting on here to ask about temperatures +...

Hi all, After finishing off my first brew with my Coopers Micro Kit I got for my birthday, its time to hit up another. The first batch turned out ok direct from the kit, didnt have my tastes in mind though. Storing it for a while, aparently that brings it out a bit more. After heading down to...
