hey if it helps im up for spending an hour or so it doesnt seem that long winded. Do you know where i could find a step by step for that with amounts etc. I might leave this one as it is and the next one prepare to add the oats /malt etc

Got bottles of essence from brew shop choc, orange, apricot about £1.50 each the apricot is for when I do the coopers light ale. I’ve added about a third of the bottles of choc and orange to the bucket just for something different I should have left it really and just added it to pint glass...

Hi everyone I’ve only ever brewed with kits and done a few in the past and I’m doing my first Coopers stout kit. Its in the bucket fermenting as we speak and I’ve added some flavouring (chocolate + orange only a little though to see what its like) I’d like the beer to be a bit thicker...

so just drop half a tab in the amount of water ur using then and leave it for a bit

on the campden tablet note now that peopole have mentioned it, in my first brew i made of geordie bitter that has a sour taste to it which could actually be the reaction from the water but dont know what to compare it to as thats my first ever brew. the coopers pale ale is now in the barell and...

add the spraymalt to the water not the other way round or youll end up with lumps. They do dissolve (as ive learned) but its less to worry about and less stirring. IMO anyway. do you mean tthe canadian blonde ale or lager. If its the ale ive got one going at the mo with about 30gms elderflower...

Hi everyone thought id restart this thread Ive just bought a coopers australian pale ale kit aswell (new to the game so this will do for the moment) the daft question is - is this kit a lager or an ale i know its called 'pale ale' but can i put it in my pressure barrel or does it have to be...

this sounds really good sorry to post hop (no pun intended) but with the mesh bag would you put this in fv and the pressure barrel? also where would you get dried elderflowers from? Im new to this game but enjoying it already got the first brew going now just chilling in the garage ready for...
