    For sale: MORE cascade and chinook rhizomes

    Thanks Mick, I checked one and it looked OK, a few round buds that look ready to go. Did you mean 1-2 inches? I put mine in @ 3 inches which doesn't seem too deep, the soil is loose so they shouldn't have any issue coming through.

    STAR SAN!

    Thanks, as soon as I was done I wiped the bench down so nothing was left to sit overnight. I'm hoping it will fade with time as this is a rental I would hate to think what it costs to repair. :unsure:

    STAR SAN!

    Hey All, Just started using Starsan and last night I bottled a batch using it to sanitize my bottles. I used 9ml for 6 litres of water, gave the bottles a wash and placed them on a bottle tree to dry. While bottling there were a few drips here and there from the bottles but nothing major, I...

    Brew suggestions? What to put down

    Bugger, not a big fan of sweet beers. It's been fermenting for almost 2 weeks now, the brew has 24g of fuggles but is there any extra hop additions I can make to balance out the sweetness? Cheers.

    Fermenting fridge. questions

    I use the coopers fermenters that have no airlock, I did my first brew with an airlock fermenter and became obsessed with the bubbling :blink: After switching to the non airlock fermenters I just ignore the brew for 2 weeks and rely on the gravity to tell me whats happening. +1 for the glad...

    Brew suggestions? What to put down

    What's the issue with using 500g of crystal in a single batch? I'm just about to bottle a Coopers Unreal Ale with 500g of crystal so curious to know what it will do.

    Coopers kit label fell into fermenter

    Bottling this week so will know in another 4 weeks if any glue pops up in the flavor, might end up with an extra buzz :blink: Off topic question but does anyone know where I can find the exact ingredients for coopers kit cans? e.g grain/hops types and ratios. I had a look around but couldn't...

    Coopers kit label fell into fermenter

    Thanks Lads, Surprisingly there's not too much online about this, thought it would be a very common mistake. Hoping the Nelson Sav hops in this brew will destroy anything in it's path :) Cheers

    Coopers kit label fell into fermenter

    Hi All, For the first time after many kits some of the coopers kit label (20c coin size piece) decided to jump into my fermenter, it wasn't much but was enough to see while I was stirring and topping up. It was a pain to try and get out with a spoon so I just left it, it all fell to the bottom...

    Lower Volume with Duvel Clone Kit

    A better recipe would be great! Cheers

    Lower Volume with Duvel Clone Kit

    Oh and as I mentioned I assumed you add the whole pot of honey that came with it so 500g went in instead of 250g. Still on a learning curve :D

    Lower Volume with Duvel Clone Kit

    Lion NZ and it's Crafty Beggars

    So I went home to NZ a few weeks back and my mum knew I was into "Fancy Beers" as she called them so she went out and got me some for my visit. When I arrived I was presented with a six pack of a beer called Crafty Beggars, I had never heard of it and enjoy pale ale so I thought it can't be that...

    The Worst Beer I've Ever Tasted

    Someone got these at my work as a secret Santa gift, they sat in the fridge for months. Horrid!

    Lower Volume with Duvel Clone Kit

    Thanks for the responses, I found that you can add extra dextrose to give it a 7% + ABV. The recipe required 250g of honey but I ended up adding 500g by mistake which might boost it a little. Now that I have had time to read a little more adding more sugar seems to be the ticket but I guess I...

    What bottles are best

    So it turns out the strong smell of beer in the garage wasn't my current brew bubbling, pic below is a coopers lager after 4 weeks in the bottle with normal FG. Lucky I didn't condition these bottles inside otherwise I'd be sleeping in the garage :unsure:
