Hey folks sorry if this topic has come up before, did a search but couldn't find exactly what I was after. Does anyone know how much a Glenn Cooper autographed 750ml corked bottle of the 1999 Coopers Vintage ale still in its wooden display box would sell for? A mate of mine has asked me to...

Hey guys sorry if this has been posted before, did a search but could not find anything I am not a cider drinker, i actually dislike every cider I have tried except this one! http://www.loboapple.com/LOBO_Royale_cider.html so im pretty keen to do a clone or work out what is so different...

marvelous, we have been searching for info on where to buy these in aus still trying to get info on the setup, can you connect these to a non-carbed corny or do you need wooden kegs? cheers carty

I agree with hatchy coopers kit, 1 kg raw sugar and yeast. all my mates even the ones who dont usually drink my beer love it. I spend ages doing intricate beer brews AG and extracts and the one they love is a basic K&K ginger beer. wierd. its an easy brew that still tastes great

great thanks for that it is a good starting point it is going to be a massive amount of work, before i even get to the malting stage, the land has not been used for farming for decades so the ground has to be prepared and because we don't own any equipment the soil prep, sowing and reaping will...

So I was talking to the old man last night and we decided to grow enough wheat and/or barley for about 20 kgs of grain on my dads land. so how do we malt the barley? we know all about the type of barley that needs to be grown as malting barley as opposed to feed barley but the malting process...

hey sorry mate, i didnt actually read all of the first post and missed the fact you had a freezer, sorry, posting while drinking not always a good mix. you may not need the tub of water in with the freezer, just the fermenter and the ice blocks in there might be enough to cool it down, i used...

hey hey inspired by this post i am going to give my first AG a go. going to kick off with Dr Smurto's Golden Ale as my mate Lobo did it and i loved it. so with recipes how do I adjust a recipe on AHB to only a 9L brew? i am guessing i want to use less grain and hops or do i still use the same...

hey not a huge fan of really bitter stouts, i like guinness but wouldnt want one much more bitter than that. dont really know how the hop additions really change but i have done a few recipes that require boiling and hop additions at different times and flame out etc, but not really knowing...

to be honest hadnt thought much about the hops, the only reason im adding them is cause they are left over from another berw and someone suggested using them in a stout, any suggestions on when to add them or how much to add? i will leave the dextrose out and maybe should i add less LDME say...
