Have you tried cling wrap? Those they use to wrap food in? I think they are better than foil since it can be made nearly airtight.

I think it shouldn't affect the taste of your brew much if you are using such a small amount for priming. I have tried tasting Cooper's IPA goo (unfermented) before and taste bitter as well.

What does the 1kg brewmaster bodybuilder consist of?

Got it from the craftbrew site. Pretty interesting. Special properties of Liquid Hops: Light stable - All Liquid Hops are free of hop alpha acids and can be used with any packaging type. Fully soluble - Liquid Hop utilization is 100% because it is fully soluble in brewed beverages. Easy...

For a draught, I think you can get away with a good amount of dextrose. It's meant to be easy drinking and doesn't need to have heavy on the body. Cooper's BE2 seems to do the trick for me.

Is this hop extract in liquid form?

Thanks guys, very useful information and recommendations.

If I am not wrong,from what is written on the package, it is an ale yeast.

If my supplier is to be trusted, he says that it is a "premium" yeast from Cooper's. It seems to be of a different packaging from that of the other Cooper's yeast, so I guess he could be right.

Hello guys, I am planning to get the Cooper's Australian Pale Ale goo and perhaps 1kg of BE2. I was wondering what else could I add to make the beer even better? I am thinking of using some speciality grains for steeping. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated.

If I am not wrong, it's still a Cooper's yeast

This is after how long you pitched your new yeast? Anyway, I don't think you should bottle it. You may get too much yeast in suspension in your bottled beer. Let it settle for one or two more weeks. I don't think that the newly added yeast will affect your beer.

How does the cold steep works? You put the grains in the pot of water and just let it steep for 18 hours?

After you guys brew the ginger beer, I was wondering whether the smell and the taste of the ginger beer will remain in the fermenter even after you have washed it very thoroughly? I had heard people complaining that the smell and taste is still around in their fermenters.

Nottinghams should create a very compact sediment layer at the bottom. Well, that's what has happened to all of my brews done with Nottinghams.

A little thread and a needle works! Just fold the opening 2 times, and do a little sewing. :D

How about using a normal tea bag? I got them from the Starbucks store when I purchase tea from them. The size of the tea baf seems reasonable to use for smaller batches of hops.

I would suggest you to use a few PET bottles still. This way, you can see whether the beer is being carbonated or not and when it is about done.

Thanks guys. I was thinking of using Nottinghams which is a very neutral yeast. Think it could work?

Just bought a Morgan's Golden Sheaf Wheat Beer but I was surprised to see ale yeast under the lid. I was wondering whether the yeast will suitable to make a Wheat beer. I am not planning anything special, just using the Wheat Beer kit and some more Wheat malt extract plus a little Saaz hoops.
