Gday guys Hopefully not a repost- i tried searching for it! Last week while browsing through the Age newspaper I noticed an advertisement for positions available for a new Belgian Beer cafe & resteraunt at the new Eureka Tower in Melbourne. I think the building is quite a while off completion...

Gday guys I have an amber ale clone in primary at the moment, where the gravity has been 1016 for 2 days, i will check tomorrow to see whether it's ready for 2ndry. The taste testing i've done out of the hydrometer tube is absolutely filled with hop sediments, larger pieces near the bottom but...

Gday guys Well, the time has come to upgrade from the coopers kits and try some full recipes using the raw ingredients. I've bought these ingredients from the very helpful local homebrew shop, and would like an idea on what things to look out for, and whether anyone has done a similar recipe. I...

Gday guys Last week I put on a Hoegaarden clone brew- the 3Kg ESB Bavarian wheat kit with the orange peel & coriander. Now that the nights are getting nippy i have been using the heat belt when it falls below 16C, it's usually been sitting at anywhere between 16-22C. The krauzen was formed...

Gday guys I've done a few coopers can and brew enhancer kits, now I'm starting to branch out a bit into using better ingredients, yeasts and so forth. As a complete surprise after much whining from the missus about spending too much time with brewing, leaving bottles everywhere etc she went out...

Gday peoples A quick question on the PET bottles that come with the Coopers Kits...for those that use them how many uses would they last, over time would they get weaker and be more prone to exploding during secondary in the bottle? Do you replace just the caps every few times as they may be a...

Gday fellas I had a bout of curiosity the other day....the bigger commercial beer companies, eg. CUB, Fosters etc whoever they are now owned by, how do they brew their beers? Do they start right from the raw ingredients and get the barleys, hops etc, or basically make up a huge supply of...

Gday fellas The last week I have a coopers Aust Pale Ale fermenting away at 18-22C, tastes ok too when i've been checking the gravity readings. The OG reading was 1040, now it's down to 1012, temp has remained constant but hasnt moved much off the 1012. It's been 7 days since the brew was...

I'm about to start a 2nd brew, an Australian Pale Ale in the coopers brew kit. It's confusing the hell out of me, every set of instructions seems to be conflicting. One set says add the brew sugar and concentrate before pitching the yeast, but a recommendation on the booklet in the can says it's...

Gday all Great forum you all have here, looks all very friendly and helpful from what I have navigated through thus far. :D Over christmas I was lucky enough to score a Coopers Micro Brew kit off the missus (what a lovely lady!) and this week set off about getting a brew down. The beer and...
