    Extract Brewing Steps

    so after you do the 5L boil with hops and malt extract, you throw everything else your using into the boil (at flame out) and then throw it all into the FV? Is it necessary to strain it, or is it optional?

    how did it turn out Salt? Is it essential to use the coopers brand of LME or will black rock or any other brand be ok? is there much difference between brands of LME?

    Little Creatures Pale Ale - Boonies K&k Clone Review

    Going to attempt this next, looks great! how many liters did you boil the dried wheat malt in? and how long was the hops steeped for? And once this is done, you pour the pot of hops/malt into the FV with the 2 cans of goo?

    Coopers Stout

    have a coopers toucan stout on the go now, looking ok..even though the temperature was a bit high when i pitched the yeast, finding it hard to drop it any lower than 22degrees in this weather!

    Sanitizing Questions

    interesting, sounds like you'd have to be pretty unlucky to get infections in bottles/FV, although it's better to be safe than sorry, i just rinse after drinking then give the bottles a squirt of iodophor before bottling, basically the same routine i have with the FV.

    Emergency- Hydrometer Problem

    just calibrated mine with some distilled waters, it went 4 points below 100, so my FG for IPA is now 1.006, which seems a little better..hopefully doesn't drop anymore!

    Emergency- Hydrometer Problem

    i'm also using one of the coopers hydrometer and just checked my SG, got a reading of 1.002...it seems really low, it's an IPA with an OG of 1.048, is this anything to worry about? It smells pretty good and i can't see any signs of infection. Come to think of it i have dropped it on the ground...

    Coopers Ipa..

    Ok great, thanks for all the info, wish i could whip up a brew now, but have to wait for a few days until my other brew is complete! Fodder, yeah that probably sounds the best, so in the FV for say 7 days, bottles for at least a month. And i'll probably chuck in some S-04 instead of the kit...

    Coopers Ipa..

    arghhhh so much to learn! What's the best hops to use for an IPA and how many grams?, also is it worth putting the pellets/flowers in one of those tea bag things, or just drop them in as they are.

    Coopers Ipa..

    heh, no problem, one day i will be AG'n. and 30 min boil? what am i meant to be boiling? From what i've read it's all mixed in the FV, with hot and cold water. or am i missing something here. I'm guessing it's better to use freshly boiled water rather than hot tap water too..

Looking at the coopers IPA, seems pretty straight forward and planning to follow the instructions on the site and plan to use 1.7kg Thomas Coopers IPA, 1kg...
