Is it still okay to make beer when the ingredients are past their best? Any major drawbacks? I have; coopers cerveza BBE on 1/10/2021 Light spray malt BBE 12/2021 Safale US-05 yeast BBE 03/2022 As you can see not majorly past their best before dates, but obviously i don't want to wait weeks...

I have a packet of coopers yeast? How do i go about adding it and how long should i wait?

How much yeast?

Yeah it does taste and smell okay, still on the fence whether to bin it and make another lol

Made a kit up in november and its been sitting in the garage ever since, will it be okay to bottle or has it been left too long? Thanks

Definitely stirred in right mate, spent a good time getting everything dissolved, ill leave it if you think its okay!

Just started my second brew last night, checked it just now and there is this sediment in the bottom, is this normal? Or does it need stirring? Thanks

Just an idea, i live in wales and we have lots of free flowing streams from the mountains near my house, the water is really good and ive drank it plenty of times out on walks. I was thinking i could use this water, filtered and boiled of course, in one of my brews. Would this work? Or is there...

My first brew was a great success using a cerveza kit and hopped with calypso, made some good beer. This was a few months ago now, and id just like to share my recipe and start to finish, and would like anyone to set me right on my methods as ive kinda forgot the entire process, and relying on...

only 25g in total, 10g for the late hop then the other 15g as a dry hop! im not much of a beer connoseuir so whether it needs more or less im not sure, its really good though!

4 weeks post bottling i decided to crack a bottle open and give it a taster. i did a coopers mexican cerveza kit, with a late hop and dry hop addition of calypso hops. It tastes absolutely fantastic and carbonated well! really easy drinking and full of flavour! It feel so rewarding to finally...

is there anywhere that i can buy bottles akin to the 740ml coopers PET bottles but in glass? or large stubby bottles in general? i like the shape and wouldnt mind bottling my next brew in some, thanks

its in the coopers fermenter so pretty much ready to go to be honest, i did pour some into a glass to check and it looked pretty cloudy, but if you think its okay then ill get it bottled :)

yeah the fermentation had finished, got the same reading for 3 days. 18 degrees ferment, and it was at 18 degrees for the full 2 weeks, not really sure what to do now? just left it in the fridge.

the fridge i have it in at the moment is like 2 degrees celcius so its about as cold as i can get it without worrying about it freezing up lol ill look into the gelatine, would you recommend i do that then? or should i just bottle it up?

Hi, I'm brewing a coopers mexican cerveza (my first one), it has been fermenting for 2 weeks, & 2 day ago i began cold crashing it in the fridge. i was going to bottle tonight but the beer is still pretty cloudy/hazy, so unsure of whether to continue with bottling, or leave it in the fridge...

Which one would you reccomend and why? On the home brew shop it says that coopers recommend brew enhancer 2, which i believe is more suited for darker beers. i see other homebrewers using brew enhancer 1 for lighter/lager style beers, so unsure of which one to use?

sounds like a maraca like its filled with little grains if thats any use? i will take it apart and see if there is any water edit; the gaps between the red and white are sealed up solid no way water has got in

do you mean bottle one up now?

yeah the volume was 23L! wilko not too far away ill drive up and buy one maybe monday, should i wait another week before adding the dry hop then i presume? thanks
