Just wondering on how and why to add additional things to a simple kit brew to make it not so simple, such as hop pellets? How do you go about this? Couldn't find an article about it but I would ike to know what pellets go with what type of beers, etc and how it improves. As I am just using...

Why does everyone I tell about my brewing habit inform me this? Why do people think this?

It's been two weeks since bottling (PETs) and the bottles of my raspberry wheat beer feel a lot tighter than my last two brews. Need for concern? ALSO, I am thinking of transporting them to a friend's shed (where there is more room), will the car ride negatively affect the PET bottled brew by...

Wheat Beer (with 500g LDM and 300g Dextrose) OG: 1040, currently gravity is 1011. It has been two days and no change in the gravity. It's been 5 days since pitching and it's been around 22 degrees for the most part. Should I rack? Or do you think it is better to leave it? I just don't want it to...

Is it possible to cold crash without a fridge/freezer? Just wondering if anyone has tried due to lack of space/money/etc? If not, I'll give it a go.. any suggestions?

I'm moving my beer from my fermenter into a 25 litre container (from bunnings), just worried about oxygen when I rack. As the secondary container doesn't have a lid like the fermenter... it has a solid lid, how to I go about racking? (beer to be racked onto raspberries). Wondering about the glad...

About to give racking ago. Is it as simple as attatching a hose to the tap of the fermenter, put the end of the hose into the secondary and turn the fermenter tap on? Just don't want to miss it up :P

As the water from the tap is not brew worthy I have been using those 12 litre water containers bought from safeway. Today I saw the frantelle water 24 packs of 600ml plastic bottles (with red caps). I was thinking of using the water from these to brew and then use the bottles for bottling? Can...

After moving beer from primary to secondary, I'm wondering what's the best cover for the secondary container... air tight lid with no holes okay? Or does secondary still need oxygen i.e. should drill a whole in the lid or use airlock? I'm racking my beer onto 2kg of fruit to get the fruits...

Can someone please run through the glad wrap lid technique? Any things I need to be careful with, need to make sure I'm doing, etc.?

So I just took a reading on my hydrometer, it's pretty close to 1020 (started at 1045 three days ago), I sampled some and it tasted particuarly watery compared to when I tasted my lager a few weeks ago at the same time durign fermentation. I use the Coopers Draught kit, and followed their...

Successful or not, what beers have you tried to clone?

Anyone know where to buy or how to make a strainer that can fit in between the fermenter tap and the bottle... beer gets strained as you bottle?

Anyone brewers out there who live in EPping, Mill Park, South Morang area in Vic? I'm wanting to trade some brews, well, as soon as mine have been conditioning for a while.

Hey, I'm looking for a secondary fermenter for fruit beers, does anyone have a photo of the 25 litre containers that are sold at bunnings? (the ones with red lids)

I realise they really aren't that expensive but I was just wondering how to properly look after my hydrometer? ...Regarding cleaning mainly.

So I put in my draught last night, airlock still isn't bubbling... I wondering if my airlock may be too tight? I tampered with it a bit last night so I don't really want to play around with it again. It's been sitting at 22 degrees so my hopeful guess is that it will take a while to bubble...

What yeast comes with the Thomas Cooper Wheat Beer (http://www.coopers.com.au/store/viewProduct.php?catid=19&subcatid=30&productID=164)? Is this yeast any good? Or should I substitute it with one from Dave's home brew... to make my raspberry wheat beer...

Thomas Cooper Wheat Beer Kit 500g of Light Dry Malt 300g of Dextrose 2kgs of frozen raspberries (thawed). Need some method advice on when exactly I should put the raspberries in the fermenter? Should I put maybe 500g in before the yeast is pitched then the other 1.5kg when the brew is nearing...
