Hey gang, I recently put down my first AG batch and decided it's time to finally get myself a fermentation fridge. I'm mainly after a bar fridge that would fit a Coopers fermenter - but would also consider a full-sized fridge if it's on the smaller side. If anyone's looking to sell one, I'm...

I've run out of bottles somehow! So I'm looking to buy about 20 or so more. Preferably swing tops, but crown seals work well too. I'm in Melbourne's inner-north. Would like to avoid buying them from a brew store - pretty pricey there.

Hey gang, I've set up this primitive yet hopefully effective heater to keep my brew around 20 degrees. For anyone wondering, it's an aquarium heater in around 20L of water atop a plate (for a little insulation from the plastic) that I'm going to put my fermenter in. Once the fermenter is...

Hey there brew pals, I'm looking for some kind of device or tactic that will mill small amounts of speciality grains to improve my very mediocre kit n' kilo efforts. The only brew store that can do it for me (Grain & Grape) is a bit out of the way, I'm gunning for convenience, so that's out for...

Aloha mighty brewers! I'm doing my first wheat brew that will hopefully be ready for Christmas. If I have to spend four days with the family I'm not doing it without 19L of beer. The aim is to have some light, cloudy Hoegaarden-esque brew. Here's what I have: • 1x tin of Coopers Wheat (kit...

Evening chaps/chapettes, Quick question regarding a Coopers sachet of yeast from an original stout can. I opened it about two weeks ago and used it for some cider, then closed it and clamped a peg on it. I was going to use it in the next few days, alongside a yeast sachet from a Coopers pale...

Hello! I plan on making the following, just for the hell of it. However I don't know how it will turn out. Anyone have any idea? It's going to be: 2x Coopers Real Ale kits Both included yeast sachets 1x Brew Enhancer 2 20L water Was going to ferment it at 18 degrees. Opinions?

Hey brewers, I'm just wondering if any of you guys know how to remove the smell of White King Oxy Lift (that's the exact one I used) in your fermenter? I used a solution of half a cup with 30L of hot water and left it for a few hours, then rinsed. The smell is quite strong and I can't seem to...

Hey gang, I posted a little while ago about my stout that I kind of ballsed up. Thought I would come back to drink more from the forum's infinite fountain of wisdom. The recipe was: 1 can of Coopers stout Brew Enhancer 2 Fermentis s04 yeast 250g treacle For some reason I pitched the yeast at...

Hey Internet, I found this fermenter on the side of the road yesterday, it's hard rubbish collection so everyone is going on a frenzy. However, it's a bit filthy and I'm wondering if it's safe to use if I clean it up. Someone's probably had it in their shed for some time. Here's a pic...

Hey gang, Sorry for creating another cider post, I see there are a million here already, but I figure one more can't hurt. I'm still very new to this whole brewing gig, so I'm a tad confused and don't want to stuff this up. I want to make the batch at around 5% to 8% alcohol content. I was...

Hey guys, Just wondering, is it okay to use old wine bottles to put your brew in? I'm running low on plastic bottles but have tons of screw cap wine bottles left over. Is there any disadvantages there that I'm not seeing?

This maybe a ridiculous question, but I've been curious for a while. Is using shower water in my brew alright? I've tasted it in a glass and it seems to taste alright, however there's a very slight yellow tinge when I fill the fermenter up - I can't imagine that's ideal. Surely it's the same...

Hey gang, I just started brewing about a month ago with a Coopers DIY kit. I'm currently brewing a stout that I made with a Coopers can of extract, 250 grams of treacle & 1kg of Coopers brew enhancer 2. I pitched the yeast at 30 degrees celcius, which was probably a dumb idea (was it? I'm...
