Hi all, long time between post for me. Was wondering if anyone has any idea how long you can age beer in the bottle for give then alcohol content range of my beers are between 5-6%? For each brew that I have done since the start of the year, I have put aside 6 stubbies or 3 longnecks to age for...

Hello all, just wondering how people store and age their beers. At the moment, each batch I do, I keep 6 glass stubbies in the kitchen sink cupboard. It kinda stays coolish there and constant (except these bloody hot days!). The aim is to age them all and have one of each every 12 months. Just...

Hi all, just wondering what your thoughts are on a toucan of Coopers Pale Ale x2? Got these babies in the cupboard and want to use them up but can either do a can + BE2 for both or save the be2, do a toucan and then move onto muttons brand. All thoughts welcome! Quachy

Hello fellow homebrewers, I've got a Coopers Euro Lager fermenting at the moment, been in for 14 days. Fg is reading 1016 and hasn't moved for the last three readings.

It's brew o'clock on the homebrew clock! Put down a Coopers Mexican Cerveza today with BE2 and Saflager w34/70 today.

Hello all, starting to break out and start to try harder things. Went to homebrew shop in Geelong (was down that way today) and got three hops tea bags, Brewiser CL80, CLUSTER & FUNGGLES. The hbs owner said that these would be good all rounders as a start. Also got a 500g bag of Brewcraft...

OK all, couldn't help myself. Was in Kmart today andwalked past homebrew section. Saw a packet of Brigalow Hops for a buck. As I mentioned couldn't help myself so I got it. Don't want to use it in my next brew if its complete crap, so wondering if anyone has any info about this hop packet? Done...

OK fellow homebrewers, I have just bottled my Coopers Pale Ale and have used my capper for the first time. There is just something satisfying about pulling the handle down and capping a bottle, not to mention drinking out of glass! The fellow at the HBS I ordered from mentioned that beer kept in...

Hello fellow homebrewers, I was wondering if the benchcappers are able to cap screw crowns as well as pry-off ones? If so do I need different crwons or can I use the coopers ones? Mate of mine is having a bbq soon and I want to collect all his glass stubbies so if bench cappers can only do...

Hi all, just put in a coopers stout with BE2 and supplied yeast. After reading all the posts on this forum, I was assuming that I would have crazy bubbling after 24hrs. As of yet, nothing through the airlock and OG still at 1050 and stable 21 deg. I know, patience patience patience... Just...

Just wondering where people get there glass bottles from? Quachy

Hi all, very new to the homebrew scene, but very excited. First brew was the one supplied with the coopers kit, a coopers larger. Turned out beautiful, although the first few had a yeastie taste to them. Second brew is largering and is a Coopers European Larger and all seems to be going well...
