hey fellas, just thought i would try something different and try a "Australian Coopers Lager", just wondering how it tasted and any extra tips for this beer, im about to put it on tonight so i am looking forward to the tasting :P

cheers thanks guys, all me questions are answered

yeh i thinking glad wrap will be the best idea, im not sure about the greese idea due to infection..

yeh i am considering to start using a test tube when testing the beer, i was thinking mayb like soap or something like that around the rubber gaskit so it slides easyer??

hey, i use a brigalow fememter with a screw on lid and lately the lid is so hard to unscrew when i go the check the gravity of the beer every night, i was just wondering if there was a trick so it wont stick and so it is still tight enought not to let any air in, this has only just started...

sweet u have hit the nail on the head for me!! do you guys usually sanitize you hydrometre evertime you use it before it touchs the beer? or just a good wash before you use it is good enough?

if i found they were over-carbonated what whould i do then?

nah i am very weiry about over priming them i line all the bottle up and get the right amount for them, yeh i coulda ben a numbber a things but yeh i just hoping i dont have to many more that go bang, its a very common thing isnt it?

so when would be the best time to add my clearing agent? still 24 hours before i bottle? if i keep it in to fememter for an extra week will it cut a week off the secoundry fememt in the bottle, like usually i would drink them for 3 weeks after i bottle if i leave it in the fememter for an extra...

sweet, cheers guys

I usually use cane sugar and just the standard yeast which comes with the batch, i thought never to bottle unless under 1004 but you saying if it stays the same for 3 days just bottle it anyways? would it change the taste of the beer if i botttle with such a high gravity?

so it doesnt matter really how long i leave it in the fememter for? i have always been under the understanding lave it for about 6 days, (untill the gravity stays the same for 2 days) and then bottle it as quick as i can?

i bottled 1 week ago and i havent had the chance to taste the brew yet, cant wait to hop into it tho :icon_cheers:
