I just put down a coles lager with a coopers yeast, BE2, 1kg sugargum honey from a local. Steeped about 25g cascade flowers in boiled water for 15mins then strained into fermenter. Ferment at 18c. See how it goes.

Ok thnks. Might taste again in a week. If no good I will tip it. Sadly.

Hi. I have made a bit of a stuff up. I brewed a 50ibu Ipa with cascade/amarillo with Us05. I wanted a quick brew after and dumped on a Coopers Lager and BE2 onto the yeast cake. 7 days later it has some metallic off flavours. Now I dont need lectures about overpitching, racking onto higher...

Cheers guys I had to get my hand in it to reach the bottom with the spoon but I showered and rinsed

Bit of a stuff up. I did a coopers draught kit but added the can after half filling the fermenter with cold water. The extract is now just sitting at the bottom. I have pitched the yeast about 7 hours ago. Will the yeast eventually break it up and it will mix or is it too late to try stir it up...

Would adding some LDME to this add for a bit of depth and more residual sweetness? Maybe 200g to this 5L batch?

I got some of these hops from a grower in Tassie. I had a Coopers Pale kit, 1.5kg LME and 200g crystal. Just did a 50g addition at 10mins for total 20IBU. Gonna dry hop with the other 50g after a week. Very keen to see how it goes. Didnt want anything bitter just a nice Pale Ale, something with...

If it using a can of stout it isn't technically a porter it's a stout. That won't be too sweet with the S04 yeast. Don't boil the cocoa it's nicer in secondary. Cheers

http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=58798 Just drop mint and vanilla but it's a start

Bottled today will see how she turns out. Then nipped to the shop, grabbed a can of coopers stout and 600g of dex and pitched onto the yeast cake. Should have some choc and vanilla left in the trub. Should be interesting. Might rack again onto more choc or leave it as a dryer stout.

It's conditioning and tastes great. Will be bottling tomorrow. Will post final verdict soon.

Brewed. Use what u like for choc flavor but cacao is the purest form.

The lollies are ideal as they leave behind the mint extract. I split the beans open yes. It won't overpower as there is plenty of dark malts and cocoa in there. The vanilla just helps bring out the choc flavor. Remember this is a dessert style beer. Will see how she tastes soon enough. Will...

Sure all valid questions just think it is strange you started off AG yet dont seem to know the basics yet. Anywhoo you will get all the answers you need here.

Lots and lots of questions for someone who has only ever done all grain brews??? I'm presuming you have used hops when boiling your AG brews?

Bottomed out at 1030. Def doesn't need any lactose.

Forgot to mentio the recipe also had a can of dark coopers lme. Have added 3 whole vanilla bean pods and 5 more lifesavers. A day later and I can now taste a hint of Cooling mint coming thru. Will leave it at that and give it some time to settle and suck up all the vanilla before bottling

I'm sure there are many ways sounds good. Either way I think it's gonna be a good drop.

OG was 1080 and has stopped at 1030. Think it's the windsor yeast. It's good for the stale though it very full bodied and on the sweet side. Chocolate is really coming through nicely but not much mint so added a few more life savers and another vanilla bean. Have turned the fridge right down and...
