i've purchased some nylon cloth bags for the dry hop stage! not too sure what cold crashing is as of yet, about to have a look through google and learn about it!

where on earth did you find sample beers? do you have a specialist beer shop nearby? or supermarket job? ive only gone the kit route to gain some experience :D but i enjoy lagers and corona style beers so figured the mexican one was worth a try!

hi :) first brew and first coopers! im doing the mexican cerveza one but following a recipe to put calypso hops in. and yeah for sure! it appears they make nice beer! have you seen any that you would like to make? acheers.

its not easy but someones got to do it

I've already posted a few times, but thought i would introduce myself ;) i'm mike, 24, i live in sunny wales near the mawddach estruary, but originally from Birmingham. huge birmingham city fan, KRO! About to take on my first ever brew using a coopers kit athumb.. can't wait! thank you to...

whats the protocol for adding the hop tea late then mate? would i add hop tea and dry hops to the FV after about 5 days?

really i would like more on the side of flavour/aroma from the hops than all out bitterness (although i'd still like some) so would it be worth doing 10g hop tea, then dry hopping the remaining 15g later for best results? or would this be achieved just following the recipe aunsure....athumb..

so you would add your hops after the initial fermentation? then leave for a while longer (1-2 weeks), then bottle up? aunsure.... and definitely i will keep it updated, i honestly know nothing about the hops so just hoping it turns out okay :laugh8:

reviews i read people seemed to like them a lot following that recipe, would you reccomend doing the full 25g of hops in this stage, then not bother putting any in dry after 5 days?

cool, i will do that then. whats the issue with the calypso hops? just following the recipe to be honest

https://uk.diybeer.com/recipes/index/view/id/56/ this is the recipe i will be following, so just add the hops to hot water and leave it? and yes flavour/aroma is what i'm after athumb..

Can they be put straight into boiling water and then strained off through a sieve? or is it best to put them in muslin cloth and dip them in like a teabag?

perfect, thank you acheers.

i have got calypso hop pellets

going to get it all going tommorow, can you just confirm something for me banbeer https://uk.diybeer.com/recipes/index/view/id/56/ is the brew enhancer 1 that came with the kit the same as the light dry malt required in this recipe?

i know i shouldnt run before i can walk, but following the recipe above, could i make a calypso hop tea to add to my kit? looks fairly simple to do from videos i've seen aunsure....

would milton cold water steralizer do the job? got loads of that

will do banbeer, need to get some ordered now! get some off ebay/amazon i think

is it possible to buy those products in the shops? or is it an ebay job?

will the equipment need sanitising out of the box? if so what do kit brewers usually use to do it? thanks
