Just sitting back and enjoying my fruits of labour with this tap fresh schooner of stout. Turned out pretty good...well rounded strong dank flavour, excellent mouthfeel with delicious notes of toffee, chocolate, coffee... Gets better the warmer it gets Chocolate Stout Ingredients: 1 x can of...

G'day brewers, I am currently crunching numbers for a stout I am am putting down tomorrow in a brand new fermenter that just got delivered today. Not quite sure on the recipe yet, for I have a few different yeasts on hand Danstar windsor, S-33, US-05 but will be something like this: 1 x can...

Hi All, I have been knocking out pretty good brews with different coopers cans, steeping with specialty grains. Then boiling the strained grain water/wort with different hops adding it to the fermenter with the can of goo & LDME and using better yeasts. I have a can of English bitter that I...

Guday all, Put down a coopers ginger beer kit 1.5 weeks ago. Blinged it out with fresh ginger, kaffir lime leaves, chilli, raw sugar, cloves and honey.... Gettn close to FG and smells and taste fantastic... I am just wondering does it have to 2nd ferment in bottles or can I go straight to...

Was in the midst of converting my 2nd hand fridge (that I am using with a pluto gun currently) into a kegerator with door mounted taps I got from KK. Had all the lines, disconnects, SS taps, 4 way manifold, drill bits, kegs & 3 great brews on 4th day of CC'ing in my FV's ready to go into...

Hi All, I have knocked out a few decent Ales that I have been quite happy with (steeping grain and boiled and/or dryhopping). Though some of my soft mates (not all thank god), think they are too "strong in flavour" for them.... *sigh* I know, I know! Anyhow I thought now I have 2 FV's and a 4...

Pretty much as the title sums it up, someone was lookn at my brews and the thermostat must have fell off the FV. It has been brewing only for a week. I found the thermostat cable laying outside the the fridge this morning quickly stuck it back on the FV final read was at 5c, few hours later it...

Hi All, Was thinking about getting a kegerator, but a mate suggested instead of dropping $800+ on a kegerator set up. I should start out with a cpl of corny kegs with a pluto gun attached as cheaper alternative and use that as a learning curve on how to keg properly/co2 gas set ups, force...

I have been extract brewing successfully for a while now and bottling, but now I am ready to get a kegerator and corny kegs. If I had say 6 kegs for a party with a 3 tap system kegerator from ebay or KK with 3 kegs online and 3 or even 6 kegs as back up. Could I force carb all the kegs in...

Pretty much as the title says.... Rookie school boy error... Had the FV & equipment ready to go... Washed cleaned and sanitized. Can of wot was in a pot of light boiling water softening.... Only to damn well realise my old can opener was broken! Too late at night to go buy one, so literally...

Raised eyebrows on this one? http://www.digitaltrends.com/home/art-brew-launches-on-kickstarter/

I have a few US-05 and safbrew s-23 unopened packets. Can they be stored in the fridge?

Coopers yeast doesn't seem the be recommended much on this forum. I want to brew a coopers lager next, does anyone recommend safbrew s-23? Thanks in advance

Hi All, Been awhile since I have posted and put a batch down. I Just put down a batch of the Coopers family secret ale with a can of amber malt and using safale -us05. I poured in to much hot water and didn't have any bottles sanitised and full of cold water because they already full of star...

Hi All, I used to brew a long time ago when I was a lot younger in the 90’s, though after a terrible accident with an exploding bottle and my best mate nearly losing his eye (they saved the eye, but he lost partial vision for ever) after that tragic accident we stopped brewing! That night...
