I just put this down - 1 can Coopers Ginger Beer kit - 1kg raw sugar - 500g Capilano Honey - 2 cinnamon sticks I tasted it out of the tube i used for a hydrometer reading and it has a very nice honey note to it, that I expect will probably fade with fermentation. Obviously no cinnamon...

http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/c/wine-beer/...cheapest-first/ DealsDirect seems to be selling beer now. While all their beers claim to be "imported", I'm going to guess a lot of their stuff is going to be brewed under license if it is available. Interesting to see that they have Hoegaarden...

Hi. I'm planning on doing a cerveza or light pilsner styled recipe soon for my girlfriend (trying to get her into homebrew :P) A very vague recipe I have is - Light Liquid Malt Malt Extract - Crystal malt and/or Mild Cara-pils grain - Saaz hops - Peats Ridge Spring Water (cheapish at Coles) -...

Hi Another noob question...... I've been practising practising on an empty crown seal bottles with my hammer hand capper with some Brigalow crown/twist caps. I feel like I've been giving them a good whack but the cap won't budgem, any harder and I think the glass might shatter. How hard do I...

Hi. I'm bottling a chocolate stout tomorrow. This is the first time I'll ever be bottling in glass and I need to sanitise my bottles. http://www.news.com.au/technology/story/0,...5014108,00.html tells me I can leave them in the oven for a while, this seems like a good idea to me since there is...

Hi. I've got a batch of Coopers Lager with Coopers Brew Enhancer 1 in my fermenter at the moment, it has been in there for six days today. The instructions that came with the kit say to bottle when the gravity is 1008-1010 over two days. My brew has given me a reading of 1013 over the last two...

My first brew ever is in the fermenter! A Coopers Lager kit with Coopers Brew Enhancer 1. I hope nothing goes wrong :o, I'm worried I didnt clean it enough (I guess such worries are normal on your first brew). Here's to hoping it tastes alright B) .

Has anyone used a Heat Panel such as http://www.quickheat.net/homebrew.htm ? esbeer.com.au has it for sale and theres a few on eBay. Would this be a good way to keep my fermenter warm or is there a better way to go about doing it? Sorry if this is an ultra-noob question...

I'm new to homebrewing and looking for a good way to get started. As far as I know my local supermarket stocks this Tooheys Micro Brew Kit. To me this looks like a fair enough way to get started, even if I get a mediocre kit brew out of it. Has anyone had experience with this kit before? I'd...
