Woo Hoo!!! :party: Poured one of the beer out last night and it tasted really nice!!! :thumb: It had a great level of carbonation - just right for my taste. it's still a little cloudy so another week in secondary should be fine before I move some to a slightly cooler place. I have a BBQ...

Checked on the bottles last night and the beer looks to be clearing nicely and there is some sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Also, I gently squeezed a couple of the bottles and they felt as if they firming up nicely so assuming good level of carbonation. :thumb: Will post some pics...

Hey Diesel, It dropped a little more and ended up at 1014 and was steady for a couple of days so i thought that was good enough to bottle it. :thumb: I now have 40 bottles of it conditioning under my sink in the kitchen and will check on it this weekend. Not sure how long to leave it :wha...

Cheers Diesel, Will give it a stir up tonight and if that fails then I have some White Labs English Ale yeast in the fridge that I can make a starter with... Hopefully the link to the blog is now working.

Hi All, I am sure this question has been asked on this forum before so if you could point me in the direction of any tips then that would be great. I started ferementing my Muntons IPA on the 1st August when I pitched my yeast at 27 degrees C :o . I wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a...

Great 'How To...' thanks for this. :clap: :clap: :clap: This is the process I am going to be using to bottle my next brew (Muntons IPA, so YeandAle let me know how yours tastes as mine's not going to be ready for a month or so). I bought a second fermenter with a tap purely for bottling...

I want to move on into AG Brewing in a little while and was wondering about a few things. :hmm: 1. How do you calculate how much grain you will need for, let's say, a 5 gallon/23 litre batch of beer? 2. How much strike water do you need for this amount of grain? 3. Do you sparge with the...

Well, the Coopers has been sat in 18 - 21 celcius temperature for about 2 weeks now and it's slowly clearing and carbonating nicely: - I poured another (Oh no, not another one... ;) ) - take a look: - Will hopefully be moving it somewhere cooler shortly to finish off.

Hi All, I have a Coopers Pale Ale in my pressure barrel at the moment - looking good :thumb: , clearing nicely and tasting great (good carbonation), but I am wondering if I can move some of the beer into bottles from this point without destroying it. Will I lose the carbonation? Will it...

Glad to hear you've popped the brewing cherry :thumb: - I have my virgin brew going at the moment so I am a newby like you... My FV didn't have an airlock and I cracked the lid slightly from the off and didn't have an issue with the fermentation. It went for a week at which point I checked the...

Hey, Just to put my 2-penneth in... As a newby brewer I didn't have the confidence to go with full AG brewing and thought I would plump for a kit. I had a good look around and went for the Coopers Pale Ale kit. You can check out how this is going by looking at my blog below... :) Suffice to...

That's a great sight... :clap: :clap: :clap: What's the cost per bottle???

I started my home brewing journey at the end of May 2010 when I decided to buy a basic brewing kit and learn the art of brewing good home ale. The journey started with a Coopers Pale Ale and this is the story... Date Primary Fermentation Started: - 06 JUNE 10 Sugar Type Used: - COOPERS BREW...

Hello fellow brewers, Just wanted to introduce myself to you all as a new home brewer. I am based in Kent in the UK and recently started home brewing after getting a little fed up with bland, overpriced, commercial beer sold in supermarkets. I am actually on a bit of a quest, which would appear...
