I seem to recall someone recommending a bit of coarse salt rubbed around the glass and then rinsed in hot water. I might have imagined it though.

Cheers for the info and advice folks! We'll see how they go with a few of these suggestions.

Cheers for that Doug. I can't recall why I went with the smaller amount of sugar than would normally be recommended. I'd perhaps not bothered to refresh my memory as to how much sugar I needed for that type of brew. I do a pseudo bulk prime where I mix the total amount of sugar in the...

Yeah, I've got really small bubbles clinging to the glass for a minute or two and they dissipate quickly. What I don't have is the lovely streams of bubbles that rise from the bottom of the glass for the whole time that contribute to a really good long lasting head. I'm liking this option so...

I took a break from brewing for a year or so and have just got back into it. My first brew was a Coopers Pale Ale kit (the green can). All went well, it appeared to ferment out fully (sorry, didn't take a FG reading as I'd not acquired a hydrometer at that point.) The problem is that this...

Another option that IIRC came from this board was to do what the OP called "pseudo bulk-priming". Once you've established what rate of sugar you're going to use for each bottle you multiply that rate by the number of bottles you intend to fill. Then multiply the number of bottles by 10 to give...

I had a similar problem with no airlock activity - most probably was the poorly sealed lid! Worth checking perhaps?

Thanks again for that info. I had a taste once it had settled down a bit at the 500mls stage. I seem to have a sightly less pleasant aroma after stepping it up to 1.5ltrs but it tastes ok still. Planning to pitch it this arvo and see how it goes. No banana esters apparent yet. Daytime temps in...

Awesome, thanks for that guys. Might get this down later today. Merry Christmas!

Can you guys please cast a glance over my process here and offer some advice? I made up 500mls of wort from boiled water and some Light LME, allowed to cool and poured in the dregs of 2 x Coopers Sparkling Ale stubbies (left 20-25mm dregs). Gave that a good shake every now and then and had...
