This a recipe I am thinking of making in a week or two. Coopers Stout kit 1.7kg Coopers Brew Enhancer #2 1.0kg Honey 250 to 500g Fuggles 12g Goldings 12g Safale S-04 or US-05 Yeast. Also got some left over home made dark candi sugar that was infused with Orange about 200g that I may throw in...

I've tried an experiment last two brews (I do believe I read it somewhere a little while ago, so not going to take the credit for it). I mix the required quantity of priming sugar into just boiled water to the required level. For my use it was to fill 30 750ml bottles, I factored in 10ml per...

OMG just looked at the Xtree Fan page...god I loved that program..... Oh and I still use the old Windows 3.1/3.11/Windows NT File Manager (Winfile), love it..... Perhaps we should take a walk down memory lane, what the oldest piece of IT equipment or software you have used..... 3Com Open...

Love it healthy discussion, I've been doing this IT thingo for lots of years now, and there has always been love & hate between different flavours, IBM OS/2 versus Windows NT 3.1, Open Systems Versus Mainframe, Windows versus Linux, Solaris versus AIX etc etc etc. Must admit I was part of...

Interesting thread....... I'm in IT and an ex Windows support guy.....my work laptop came with Vista on it, never changed, I like it for the most part and does what I want and I'm a real heavy user normally have between 5 & 10 applications open at once with only 2GB of RAM some apps are quite...

What about Pyramid ones, the natural energy flows into the beer and you feel more alive when drinking beer made in Pyramid containers. I go one step further, I brew in a Pyramid Shed and the beer goes into Pyramid Bottles (although they are a bugger to cap) I'm sure round or square does...

I've always thought about setting up a Brew Shop on the Northside, but I doubt that Canberra has enough brewers to accomodate two Home Brew Stores. Maybe I'll do the numbers, and see what comes from it. I suspect that an online store may indeed be a better option. I agree about Kaleen...

I keep a DOS 6.22 and or a Windows 98 Boot disk for just this pupose, as mentioned above Fdisk is your friend for this job. Linux and as also mentioned above Partedmagic will do th trick. Also if you want to really get rid of the data, you need to get a product like destroy which over writes...

I hate the effects of alcohol, but love the taste of beer, so I don't drink a huge amount. Like many others I suspect that taste I love alcohol has a huge part to play, and obviously the mellowing effects of alcohol in small dose....brain......like.....mmmmmm.....beer.... Also beer was NOT...

Thank heavens, we kinda finally got back to the real intent of this thread......to talk about Merc........... Your loving servant Brownie

I have had some longer than 6 months and they have been OK, but some I have just opened that are over 12 months are starting to loose their fizz. Other than that they seem good, I use both glass and PET, I think it does taste a bit better out of glass, but that could just be my brain playing...

Billy, You have 3 choices IMHO: 1. Bottle now as fermentation appears to finished eg same FG for a few days; or 2. Rack 2 secondary fermenter and cold condition in the fridge @ below 5 Deg Celsius for as long as you can, at least 2 to 3 weeks minimum. Either way I would recommend getting...

I do the same as Jye......

Koikaze, Here are some links that may provide some idea's http://hbkitreviews.com/view-id-17-coopers...n-pale-ale.html Google Search HomeBrew and Beer Results Anyway doing a search on this site may also yield some results I brewed one once, didn't enjoy it so not done one since, maybe I...

OK, So as I imagined would have happened people have missed the point completely. Read what I have said and not what you think I have said. I am NOT doubting that All Grain beer is actually better than K&K. What I am saying is that pretentious attitudes from some quarters towards K&K brewers...

Ya know I have a friend and a brother who love their red wine, to the point where their advice is sought after by others for a choice of wine....the friend has done some wine judging not full on though... but both are F@#king annoying twats when someone opens a red. So me being me...someone who...

Can't imagine why its only when you start brewing all grain that your brain suddenly changes and then allows you to use hops and better yeast and of course experimenting with variations on a theme. That all sounds very much like a huge pile of mumbo jumbo. I would like to know what the...

Warren, Are you able to expand your feelings re S-23? I use it quite often for my Lagers and was wondering what issues you have experienced? Interested Brownie.

I concur with BYB and DBB. There have been many threads on here that say boiling the hopped cans of goo does no favours to the Hop Extract in the can of goo. I always boil my Light Dry Malt Extract, Dark Dry Malt Extract, Honey, Golden Syrup, Rice Malt Syrup, etc etc etc with whatever choice...
