Boonies LCPA clone is popular. I've got my 3rd batch fermenting at the moment :) 1 tin Morgans Stockmans Draught 1.5 kg of Morgans Extra Pale Malt Extract (Liquid) 15g of Cascade pellets - 15min 10g Cluster pellets - 15 min US05 Yeast. 12g of Chinook Pellets (dry hopped at rack) Don't...

You are a champion.

What is this wizardry? (looks like pics don't come up in quoted text - Original Post Link) Can someone point me towards a "how to" or something for this? I want. :)

You should consider doing Boonies LCPA. Sounds like it's fairly tried and tested. I've just bottled my second brew (Boonies LCPA :) and it smells awesome, can't wait to try it. Side note: I too found it hard for my first brew getting a simple clear set of instructions for a first brew. I got...

Bulk primed and bottled this on Sunday. I used 125gm sugar dissolved in water, according to the spreadsheet that will be 2.3 Vols CO2 and comes under "low" but being my first I am scared of bottle bombs... However, it's now Thursday and nothing has exploded. I made sure to use 1 clear bottle so...

Awesome, thanks. You've just answered everything. Being a (complete)newbie I have struggled to find detail on the finer details of the process, but I believe that is due to everyone doing it slightly different. I have played with Ian's spreadsheet but figure I'll use it more when I'm coming up...

Hi Guys, Put my second brew down last night. I have attempted Boonies LCPA Clone - http://homebrewandbeer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4814 1 tin Morgans Stockmans Draught 1.5 kg of Morgans Extra Pale Malt Extract (Liquid) 15g of Cascade pellets - 15min 10g Cluster pellets - 15 min US56...

Hi guys, I checked last night and gravity is down to 1010! Finally.. Thanks for your help.. I put another brew on last night and have some questions. Am I best starting a new thread?

FYI, I was going to do the fast ferment but to be honest I have no way of keeping the temp up for it so I decided to add more yeast. I used a tablespoon of sugar dissolved in a cup of warm (boiled) water and added the yeast and let it come to life then chucked it in the fermenter. (It even...

OK so as I was running out the door this morning I sterilized my giant spoon and popped it open and stirred up the sediment. I noticed there was no krausen on top so I guess that confirms fermenting has stopped. Is that right? I'll try the fast ferment thing too.

Hi guys, its now day 9, gravity is about 1018-1019 so it's only dropped by about 3 in 3 days. Has my ferment stopped? I gave it a 'swirl' on Friday because I was worried it wasn't fermenting. Any advice would be great. I still have the kit yeast from the Coopers Pale Ale as I didn't use it in...

Ok, so I've just gone to check the gravity and when I first opened the tap into the container a bunch of chunks came out.. :huh: Is that just sediment that was in the tap or something? Is it infected? how do you know if it's infected? Anyway, I emptied it out and cleaned the hydrometer and...

I've just been reading about "Boonies LCPA Clone" and I want to tip out my brew and start again :) Now that I've done a very basic brew and I get the process better it seems pretty simple really. Can't wait to get my next brew on.

Ok, thanks. You guys are full of info. Now I need to find some empty bottles quick smart. I kind of bought my brew kit and put on a brew spare of the moment and hadn't been saving empties. I also can see myself becoming slightly obsessed with this. I might need another fermenter to start a...

My final volume is right on 23L according to the side of the fermenter. Also, I tried to use the Kit and Extract Designer spreadsheet but with what I've used it says FG will be high, EBC and IBU will be low. Should I be worried about any of that or is there anything I can do to "fix" it?

Thanks everyone. I just got home and there is about 1cm of foam on the top of it. Also I gave it a slight squeeze and can see the water move in the airlock so I think it's fairly air tight. Anyway, I'll just check the gravity in a week or so and see how it goes.

Thanks for the help guys. Put my mind at ease. Don't want to ruin my first brew! I have somehow ended up with like 4 hydrometers so should be ok :) I think looking from the side there was a few cm of foam. Thanks again.

I'm actually at work but I think this morning I remember seeing condensation on the inside of the lid. Not sure about "foamy mass". How thick should this mass be? When I put the lid on I checked the O-Ring looked good and clean, also making sure it was tight. I guess I'll see how it goes...

Hi Guys, Been reading for a while but first post/brew. I put together my first home brew on Sunday: - Coopers Pale Ale - Deliverance Yeast 11g (the people at TWOC said I should use this) - "Premium Sugar Mix" from TWOC (500g Light Malt, 250g Dextrose, 250g Corn Syrup) Anyway, it's now...
