Howdy folks, Came across this one while playing facebook poker. Does something look out of place? TPD

Hi there, long time no posteth. Yesterday I bottled a lager brew straight from the 12 deg fridge. I was thinking about the effects of temperature, eg. chill the stubbie in the esky, esky goes hot, put stubbie in the fridge the next day, stubbie tastes like crap. Does bottling cold...

Greeting my friends, I've just put down a Coopers European Lager with BE2, and while mixing in the BE2 the wort frothed it's head off (parden the pun :)). Is this going to damage the brew in the long run? Cheers.

Greetings, I'm using wheat malt for the first time and it doesn't seem to be dissolving into the wort. Should it fully dissolve? Cheers

Mornin' brewers, Apologies if this has been discussed before. There seem to be bucket loads of bubbles when I'm doing my FG readings. I spin the hydrometer and still lots of bubbles making it difficult to get an accurate reading. My questiuon is, can I leave the sample for a while until the...

Hi all, I've just had my brew blow out the airlock. It's been going fine for 2 days and it's in an esky modified to take fermenter and ice bottles for temp control. The brew is a Coopers Dark Ale, supplied yeast (i know gotta get a better yeast) with 1 kg dextrose running at 22 deg. Advice...

Howdy folks, Twelve months ago I was a bundy and coke drinker through and through, by the bucket load. Couldn't drink beer and never really had, never really wanted too. Have a few would always make me crook as a dog. How my tastes have changed. In the last six months, social circumstances...

Patience, patience, patience, I know. I've got two brews conditioning and I'm starting my third brew in the morning, the Brewers Choice Stella clone. Has anyone tried it? Any comments or modifications to the process. I was going to follow their instructions. Cheers

G'day brewers, I'm a rookie brewer on his second brew, the first a Coopers Lager that took 5 days for the primary fermentation at about 25 deg. I know the temp is a bit high but thats what I have to work with for now. OG-1038 & FG-1006 The second brew at the same temp, a Coopers Canadian...
