:lol: No chance at this stage.. Just trying to do a favor for the poor lost soul... ;) I personally dislike Extra Dry.. It has a watery chemical taste to me.. I'll try the above mentioned recipes, might do a small batch for him or something.. (Thanks for everyone's suggestions on what to do...

Howdy, I went to the 'Country Brewer' shop on the weekend. He handed me a recipe sheet for making versions of commercial store bought beers using the KIT cans you get and slight variations on what yeast and malt etc you add to make the flavor differences. My Brother-in-law loves Tooheys Extra...

Hey Qld Kev, I used the Coppers Larger Can with the standard ALE yeast it comes with. Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 which is I think 500g dextrose, 250g maltodextrin, 250g light dry malt. Temperature has been cold down as low as 6 Degrees at night. Had electric blanket and jumper on me ferment...

Thanks heaps guys .. Feel much more warm and fuzzy about bottling.. Think I'll GO for it! :super: Did have one last question.. Got a pack of unopened 'Carbonation Drops' was thinking of using that have been stored in a cool, dry place. They have a 'Use By' date of September 2006 .. Do they...

Howdy all, OK I am confused as hell which would seem impossible with a 'Brew Kit' I know,, but I'm over it, so should you be.. :blink: Now this is what I need help with.. Fermentation of my first Coopers Larger Micro Brew Kit and is it finished? The kit says 4-7 days. I have left it for 13...

:lol: Haha.. No worries.. I am just a 'no idea' newby.. :rolleyes: Tall chilled Pint glass of HTFU being downed right now.. Cheese n Bacon Balls,, hmmmm,, reminds me of TOOBS for some reason.. Now there's an oldie..

Huh? Am I a snob for mentioning 'Store bought' chips and which ones rock with beer..? :unsure: Alrighty then.. Being new,, I'll try to figure out how to remove this post..

Hi All, Thought I'd mention a few of my favorites that I love with beer.. See what others say as well.. As my pallet improves with experience at different brews etc this may change, but right now for the store bought chips you can get.. Kettle - Chilli Chips .. Harder to find these days -...

Thanks again for tips.. :) OK I have run the numbers roughly and have an idea.. 2nd Hand Fridge - $0 - 80 (Friends or ebay) Heat Globes - $10 - 30 (Bunnings or ebay or pet shop) STC-1000 Mini Temp Control - $20-30 (Online & ebay) Wiring and Protection - $10-20 (Bunnings) Total Cost = $40 -...

Ambient temp is roughly 18-21 during the day and 5-8 at night.. Freezing lately.. Did some research and can 'confidently' say that the Coopers kit comes with an ale yeast.. Seedling warmer.. Hmm.. Mother in-law may have one of those.. Might check it out.. Also noted on the 'human theory' and...

Thanks for the tip.. :unsure: Geez.. You just made me think of the power bill.. DAMN.. :blink: Oh well.. Lesson learned as they say.. Guess my first brew will cost a little more than anticipated.. :drinks: I got the standard Coopers Lager Kit.. It says to ferment at between 21 and 27 degrees...

Hi Guys, I'll start by saying 'I am on a tight budget at the moment' and am looking for the cheaper ways of managing temperature .. before moving on to more common and accepted methods.. I am starting out with a Coopers Lager Kit and it has been bubbling away nicely. I used a 20 year old...

Wow.. Thanks for such a speedy reply.. Superb :D I had a thought.. But am most likely entirely wrong being new.. Why couldn't you (provided u had a GOOD LAGER yeast) just drop all the carbonation drops into the 25L Ferment Bottle (From Coopers KIT) for secondary ferment once the required...

Great tips.. I am totally new and doing my first batch of COOPERS LAGER using a kit. I have used an 'electric blanket' to keep my fermenting bottle (25L) at around 22 Degrees which is apparently a good temp.. I am not sure whether the yeast supplied from COOPERS is a GOOD proper lager yeast...
