Last night I recovered some Cooper's Pale Ale yeast using the method linked here: Yeast Washing. I left it on the table last night and this morning the yeast has settled on the bottom in a regular but patchy layer about 4mm thick. It has formed patterns like the cut end of a cucumber. There is...

Holla, WELL - I recently started working full time... and all I have to say is F**K THIS!! I have hardly had a chance to think about brewing, let alone actually do any BOTTLING or brewing, but thank christ for the long weekend! (Literally, according to the fairy tales haha) SO I went to...

I thought that kit/extract were used interchangeably, but after reading "Tell the Truth" and replies to my brewing depression thread, seems I was wrong. What's the difference between extract and kit beer?

Hi. I have brewed different brews for the last 3 brews - one Cascade Choc Mahogany Porter, one Cooper's Heritage Lager, alky ginger beer and I have a Cooper's normal lager w/ dry enzyme in the fermenter. I had successfully brewed 3 lots of the Coopers normal and decided to go out on a limb...

For my first ever brew, I trotted down to the LHBS, bought my Brewcraft starter kit, ripped it open and swapsied the ingredients supplied with it for a "VB Clone" - Beermakers' Draught and Brewcraft kit converter #42 - Australian Bitter. I lovingly brewed and bottled the mix, waited for it to...

I just realised after putting down my last brew, that I'd forgotten to boil the wort up after mixing the contents of the can + water. I also did this with my last brew which has just been bottled.. is this likely to affect the flavour/quality of the beer?

I made a ginger beer out of a mishmash of recipes I read and a brigalow ginger beer kit can, the extra ingredients being: Juice of 2 lemons 2 large clusters of ginger, peeled and chopped 2 pinches of cinnamon and 1 of nutmeg All added to the can, simmered for about 1.5 hours in approx 3l of...

I put down a Cascade Choc Mahogany Porter this evening but I accidentally put some hot tap water into the wort. I mixed up the dry ingredients, then the LCD read between 28 and 32 degrees so I chucked the yeast in. That was about 5pm and since then the fermenter has only bubbled when I screwed...

I brewed up this wort on the 1st of October, there was a minor glitch in the initial brew in that I made the water too hot, so when it was diluted the wort was still too hot to put the yeast in. I think it was over 30 degrees IIRC. SO I left the wort with the fermenter cover on for a few hours...

Aah what a town. I miss it already. I hadn't been up north in my sentient memory and choofed off to see Motorhead at a friend's suggestion. I found it to be laid back, relaxed and very easy to find my way around. The trains were clean, reliable, easy to navigate and went everywhere I needed...

Aloha, My second brew is just ready to bottle, this time round I want to bulk prime it as I wasn't happy with the inconsistent sludginess of my first brew. I'd rather have all the beer mediocre ;P I've looked at some calculators and googed it but frankly I don't quite understand how to get it...

I have 1kg of brewing sugar left over from my brother's kit, is it any good to prime bottles or should I not be a tightarse and throw it away?

I put down my first kit on the 23rd of August, a Beermaker's Draught with a converter, today it hasn't bubbled much at all so I ripped some out to measure the specific gravity. Not sure if I did it right though, I filled up the plastic tube the hydrometer came in with beer from the tap then...

Being a dedicated Carlton Draught/VB/TED drinker, I tend to stick to what I know and love in regards to beers, but yesterday I decided to go on a beer appreciation tour and pick up some stouts from the local bottlo to try out. I got a couple of Sheaf Stout and a couple of Coopers stout, first...

Hi everyone, New to brewing and new to the forums - I just bought a brewcraft starter kit and swapped the guts of it to Beermakers' Draught with an aussie bitter beer converter, I have started it off last week but my airlock isn't looking right. That's the kind I have, but the air cell...
