Yeah I gave everything a good stir before I took the sample. I filled it up to 23 litres. The only thing I can think of is that it got a bit too cold on day 4. I pitched a bit warm, about 25 so I was cooling it down with a wet towel and it managed to drop to about 16-17 degrees on day 4, but I...

I think I am just about ready to bottle my first brew after two weeks. However I have a question about the final gravity. My original gravity was 1037. After one week I had 1017. After two weeks I have 1014. Is that too high? It was Coopers Original Lager with Brew Enhancer No 1. That...

Hmm, that actually looks rather simple. Only thing is I don't have a pot big enough... but I'm sure the other club members will have one.

I am planning my second brew, and have decided to try something like XXXX bitter since my mate's a Queenslander and he loves the stuff when he can find it. I see that Morgan’s Queenslander Lager claims to be a XXXX clone. Anyone have much experience with this kit? I will mix it with 1kg...

Thanks for the tips. The air con seems to be doing it's job a bit better after blocking the gap underneath the door, room is now down to 17 degrees, and fermentor has dropped to 20 degrees. Hopefully it might drop a bit more yet. (I am now wearing warm jacket and pants cause its freezin in...

I purchased a Coopers DIY kit from Kmart yesterday. I mixed up the first batch using the DVD instructions, but have done some more research. As for temps I was aiming for 21 degrees pitching, but just couldn't get it that low during testing, I think my hot water is too hot, and the cold too...

Hi, I am a 2nd year PhD student at Australia National University in Canberra. I joined the (new) ANU Beer and Brewers Club last week, and have just purchased my first kit - Coopers DIY for $90 at Kmart. Just mixed my first brew of the included Coopers Lager tin. Cheers to loads of cheap beer...
