I've got at least 40 tallies that are older than this brew but I always bottle a few stubbies to drink along the way and appreciate the way the brew is ageing. As this is a hobby I am interested to brew as many styles as possible and I just can't wait weeks to try them. Some come good after a...

Hi All I brewed a Coopers IPA, down 2-9-08, bottled 9-9-08. Kit, 750g LDME, 350g dex, kit yeast (made a starter), 23L. Kept under 22 deg C. I am trying a stubbie in the glass now. Great smell, great taste, good head. At only 3 days old. I don't know how long this will last. Highly...

Maybe measure the weight of a sugar cube and the weight of a teaspoon of sugar. I had the same idea when I was at the shop the other day. Damian.

I can see an AG demonstration by a generous brewer as one of the first activities of the "Gold Coast Home Brew Club" ;) Damian K & K Man

I'm interested. I'm only into K and K at the moment but would like to at least taste some of this AG that is so often talked about. Damian.

Hi. I am doing a Coopers Pale Ale at the moment with 800g dex and 400g dried corn syrup. I am using recultured Coopers yeast. I find that at 18 deg C dropping to 16 deg C overnight that fermentation takes at least 10 days. It just bubbles away slowly. This is the first Pale Ale I have done...

Powers heavy used to smell like vomit I thought. That was about 20 years ago. Damian.

Hi. I have had a K and K brew in the fermentor for a week now, keeping the temperature around 20 degrees using a brew belt. If the FG has dropped to the expected point do I need to keep heating for the second week or can I let the temperature drop? Damian

On the weekend I was in K Mart and saw a lone brew belt on the shelf. It had a $10 sticker on it but it scanned at only $2 through the checkout. I don't know what went on but the brewbelt has come in handy of a night time maintaining my latest brew temperature in the early twenties while the air...
