As the title suggests I want to know if I can use Coopers Brew Enhacer 2 to make a starter. I have just realised I don't have enough DME to make up the correct amount of wort for a starter, but I do have some Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 and wondered if this would be OK to use. I have found out that...

Bought a keg king CO2 keg charger and 16g refills for a camping trip. Assembled the small gas refill and gas inlet ball lock and put it on my keg. When the liquid flow slowed up I then pulled the trigger for a quick burst to charge and released. This is where the problem started, I could hear a...

Having a clear out. About 100 PET bottles free if anyone wants to pick them up. Bottles are clean and I may have a few new caps to throw in. SOR Perth. I work near Midland so I can arrange to meet near there if it helps

I have 2 x 19l kegs that are a little too big to fit into my kegerator and I'm looking to swap them for some skinnier 19l kegs. To make it worth while I would throw in some beer and also bring them to you. The kegs I want to swap I think are corny kegs with the grey gas and black beer line...

I have a 3 x keg kegerator that I bought along with 3 x 19l kegs. Recently I bought 2 more 19l kegs but these are slightly wider and shorter than the 3 I have. Now when I try to fit these 2 wide kegs in my kegerator they wont fit. I can manage to get one of the wider kegs in but not both. The...

I have some yeast slurry that I have washed from a recent lager. I have checked with Mr Malty on the amount required after adjusting for yeast thickness and non-yeast percentage it looks like I have the correct amount. My question is; is it recommended to pitch this directly into the wort in...

I have done a batch of American Pilsnerstyle beer using Wyeast 2007. I made a 4.5l starter based on Mr Malty calculator and pitched this last Saturday morning. It took around 36hrs to get going and I could see a nice layer of yeast at the bottom and a krausen on the top. However the airlock...

I'm about to do my first stepped mash infusion. I have only just started reading up on the various temperature, their durations and their effects. Below is what I am planning to do and just want to get some feed back and if there are any changes I should make to get a better result? Batch Size...

This is the first time I have made a liquid yeast starter. Im using a Wyeast 2124 Bohemian lager yeast to put into a Pilsner all grain (second time I have done an all grain) The issue at the moment is there has been no action after nearly 24hrs at 18 degrees in the starter. Maybe I am worrying...

I am about to have a go at a lager kit. I have been reading up on this heaps so I am prepared and know what method to follow. One of the issues I have come across is how much lager yeast to use? I plan to use the Fermentis Saflager yeast S-23 but the kit I was looking at has one 11g sachet to...

Hi all, This is my 3rd brew I have done and to date my previous ones have been surprisingly good for a first timer. I am 8 days into a a Brewcraft Becks style larger and the FG seems to be stuck at 1024 over the past few days. Below is what I have done and used. The kit contained the...
