    Good hop combinations for APA

    I am very new to adding hops but am getting my head around it now, the brew i just bottled was an unhopped extract (1.5kg light malt + 1.5kg wheat malt), and i added 16g Nelson Sauvin @40 mins, 20g Cascade @ 20 mins, and 12g of both Nelson Sauvin & Cascade at 5 mins. It smelt absolutely...

    Problem with latest brew

    I bottled it today, I ended up leaving it in the fermenter for longer (so its been in there for nearly 4 weeks) hoping it might improve (it has a bit). I figure ill just see how it goes. Brewsta you might be on to something, this is my 3rd brew steeping grains & its all very new - I didn't...

    Problem with latest brew

    I did try the sample, hard to describe the taste but if anything it was sour. Compared to every other brew I have done (this is #8) all the others tasted good at all stages asides from obviously tasting green at bottling time. Im in no rush to bottle so it can have another couple of weeks in the...

    First brew a success!

    Thanks for the input guys :) My next brew was a Coopers Pale Ale kit (just Coopers Pale Ale + kit yeast + brew enhancer 2), I actually bottled it today! The first batch has definitely been kept in the low 20's if not a bit under 20 in the same room as the fermenter containing brew #2 due to the...

    First brew a success!

    Cracked my first bottle today (standard Coopers lager kit, will have been bottled for 2 weeks tomorrow) & it tastes great, much better than I thought & much closer to a lager taste than I thought it would be too! Certainly my first brew's success has been helped by the wealth of helpful...

    My 2nd brew, fermented fast & very cloudy

    Thanks for the advice everyone, i'm not in any rush to bottle, my main nemesis is if we get a heatwave here but shouldn't be for the next week at least :)

    My 2nd brew, fermented fast & very cloudy

    Hi all, A few weeks ago I made my first brew (standard coopers kit lager), all went well with it & it tasted quite reasonable at the time of bottling so while confidence was high I sterilized everything (filled the fermenter with water + 150ml unscented bleach & chucked all the tools in to soak...
