Instagram? 🤣 Dude I just edited a posts because I used the wrong lingo too! Thanks MHB.

Thanks mate, I'll check out his video! Simple is what I like. You're not wrong about the Coopers yeast, I was impressed by it's rumble in the bronx. Most of the bottles from this batch are now firming up!

Good to know that ~13% is what to expect. Thanks mate! I had an OG of 1.106 I reckon .. And a FG of 1.012 (sorry no pictures of that one). The calculator I used said it was 12.35% so didn't quite reach the 13. I've tried cider with s-04 and Mangrove Jack cider yeast M02. I have some...

I started off in home brew with Bung Jooce. Simple cider or whatever other name. Just apple juice and yeast. These are my notes from the Super Bung Jooce I tried. I'm a scientist, I need to experiment. Ingredients: Bunnings Fermenter x10 2L bottles ALDI apple juice 4kg white sugar Few...

I had another sample, I think it tasted pretty nice. I'm not a fan of big hops and bitterness, but I didn't mind this.

I got 22 long necks of Coopers lager bottled up. I used a priming measuring scoop with white sugar this time, instead of the carbonation lollies. What a PITA that thing is. Much cheaper than using the Coopers gear, but a lot more fiddly. I got most of the beer out into the bottles, about...

So it has been two weeks since I bottled this stout. I plonked two of them in the fridge in the morning and tested at the end of the day, some carbonation, but pretty much flat. The PET bottles were not super hard. The caps are all on tight and I put x2 carbonation lollies in each bottle...

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions! I did in fact add the hops on day 4 however the fermenter was rumbling with activity. Perhaps it was a bit sluggish to get going. Quick sample the other day and it tastes and smells like warm flat beer with hops, so I'll be bottling this brew...

I had to look that up, but right on! Thanks mate.

These are notes from my second brewing attempt! It was made today. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome! Ingredients: Coopers Fermenter x1 Coopers Lager Can 1kg Coopers Brew Enhancer 3 500g Coopers Brewing Sugar Kit yeast Boxed water 15g Cascade Hops at day 4 Process: Sanitised...

So hard to wait... I'll try to keep it that long! (doubt!) So for my next batch, I've got a Coopers Larger tin lined up. Coopers Larger tin Brew Enhancer 3 LDM Was thinking of getting a sack of hops from my local HBS and see if I can BAM! kick it up a notch! My favorite is stout, but I'll...

Howdy, Today I took another sample and the hydrometer reading hasn't changed (although read inaccurately, it was read inaccurately with consistency!) It was bottling day today! I cleaned and sanitised all of my 740ml PET bottles and filled 28 of them! I used 2 carbonation lollies in each...

Awesome, thanks for the diagram! Mine does say to read from the bottom of the meniscus and to use at 20C, whilst it was cooler than that when I took the reading, both were taken very close to the same temperature.

Howdy mate, 2) & 6) I saw a few videos about two can brews and a few notes on it being bitter? I'm not a huge fan of bitter stout. I'll give it a go anyway! 3) Yeah for my next Coopers kits I'll be using the kit yeast to see how it turns out. 4) I was definitely curious to know what ABV would...

Thanks, I found it noted down the bottom as 20C.

I've done some reading up on adding hops. I might give the boil a shot next brew, it'll be a Coopers Lager.

Yeah I didn't see any clumps in it during bottling. My main issue would be the gravity reading, I read that because the clumps are.. clumped and not dissolved it wont give an accurate reading.

Thank you, Yep the hydrometer instructions are to use at 20C.

Thanks for all all your advise guys. I'll be checking the gravity tomorrow and if all is good bottle the next day! I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. It has been in the fermenter for 10 days now. Day 9 I took a sample and plonked in the hydrometer, this is the reading I got: Could you please tell me if this is read as 1.018? Any thoughts on if this might be finished knowing my ingredients...
