Brew Enhancer 2 - 50% dextrose, 25% maltodextrin, 25% light dry malt is the one they recommend. https://www.diybeer.com/au/mexican-cerveza.html Personally with all the lagers I don't use dextrose. The Coopers website used to say it was better to only use LDME in the Euro lager. I've sort of...

That's right. An excellent toucan is the Coopers Stout & Dark Ale. I think the stout is the most popular one. Dark Ale & Pale Ale.... https://www.diybeer.com/au/recipe/smoty-ale.html But generally if I'm brewing just a kit, kilo and hops I brew to 20 or 21 litres instead of 23.

I have been wondering about this app. We've had one for a while now in Australia. I think it was just after Singapore, or around the same time. I did mention this on a football forum I read and basically wrote this. Now I'm not a programmer and neither do I know anything about how these things...

We've only ever had a 1.5m rule here in Australia or one adult kangaroo. I don't go to the shopping centre that much. Mainly just the supermarket. We've had our restrictions lifted bit by bit over the last few weeks. Now people don't give a **** about keeping distance.

Yes I read that the other day. She was bloody lucky to get a new set of lungs so quick to be honest. In all honesty the other related issues caused by covid would worry me more than actually getting over Covid.

I probably had a couple more than I should on Saturday night. Woke up on Sunday feeling pretty good. If that had been commercial beer I'd have been hungover all day.

You lucky *******s. Morgans is a good kit. I've got a couple here as I stocked up in case we went into lock down. We didn't. But I have a Frontier IPA which is one of my favourites and a Blue Mountains Lager. And I'm currently sipping a Morgans Amber Ale. I have a Morgans Cider in the FV now...

What is this Sause you speak of?

Badger love a fight. when I was an apprentice I worked at a place out in the country. Some of the locals were proper scary. They wouldn't think twice about picking up a badger roadkill. They said it tasted like pork.

I've got a bottle brush I bought two or three years ago. Only a few dollars worth. I was going to saw off the plastic handle and use on a drill like Dutto. It's still got the wrapping on it. I've never touched it. Oh, yes. For really stubborn spots. I put a dash of dishwashing powder in the...

Well I was going to tell you, but as you won't listen. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Here we went from Scotty telling us on a Friday that there was nothing to worry about and he was going to the footy on Sunday. To Sunday, when Scotty didn't go to the footy and announce a heap of measures. Meanwhile...

I would have thought Sodium Percarbonate would have been enough. After pouring a beer I swill with water. Then they'll get washed out with hot water. Left to dry. Put in garage for whenever I next bottle. Bottling day, or night before use the Vinator with Starsan and put on bottle tree. Also...

What I do is this. I take a sample when I start the brew. I then leave it alongside the FV with the hydrometer in place. Over a few days you can see it drop as the brew ferments. It probably isn't that accurate, but I have a temperature controlled brew fridge. I don't always take a final...

I work for a pathology company. Before this virus thingy all kicked off the people who collect the blood mixed bleach and water in spray bottles. They used it wipe down surfaces. They still use it, but along with other things now. It was only household bleach. Apparently when I explained this in...

Well, I'll be guessing here but I'd imagine that it stalled for some reason. Maybe it got a bit cool overnight. Yeast likes a constant temperature. A constant 20C would have been good. Although letting it get up to 25C isn't so good. Then when the weather got warmer it kicked off again. 1.034...

Sorry, I honestly can't remember if I boiled the peel or not, but I don't think I did. I've never put the peel in vodka, as I would have to buy vodka. I only like the expensive stuff, and an opened bottle wouldn't last long. Another idea is just to make a lager & add 4.5 litres of grapefruit...

I like grapefruit juice & vodka. A nice vodka and grapefruit mixed together is bloody lovely. I don't tend to keep it in the house though as it wouldn't last long. I've never had Elvis juice. Maybe I'll see if I can find some locally. I'll try one and let you know how mine compares. Just had a...

OK, after making this twice I've realised how I could hopefully make it better. So next time. Coopers Cerveza (But really any lager would do I reckon) 500 grams Light Dry Malt Extract 3 litres of Grapefruit Juice I buy the one they keep cold in the supermarket, but maybe there's not as maybe...

Working 12 hours days for a few days. I'll write up what I did later in the week.
