    Coopers European Lager

    Coopers say to use light dry malt in this rather than dextrose. I put a kilo or 1.5 kilos in when I make it.

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Went to the supermarket on the way to football this afternoon to buy mushrooms and tomatoes for tea. Added bonus was they had the 5kg bag of rice I wanted. Half price this week. They even had bog roll. One per customer. I didn't buy it as I didn't need it. Although I was only there briefly I...

    The Coronavirus thread.

    The NT news here in Australia which prints some outlandish stories ran an 8 page special in the week. It does make me wonder how the sewage system is going to cope or not with the assorted things put down toilets in the next few weeks.

    Out of date spray malt?? Safe to use?

    What!!!! I pay around $170 for 25kg. That's about £86. I put mine in ziplock bags too.

    The Coronavirus thread.

    I was telling someone in work the other day that when I lived in Bristol pre 1990 handshakes were not really a done thing. We just used to acknowledge one another with a nod of the head and sort of grunt " all right" which came out more like " 'right". Am I imagining it or has hand shaking when...

    Vegetarians and Vegans

    He was the only veggie I knew that the time, so veggie and weird went together. Then when I met his friend it got worse. Now as I said my daughter brings her veggie friends over and it's not a problem. I tend to do the BBQ at the local surf club. I make sure there's a veggie option. My...

    I'll ask and probably get a blank look. I don't recall seeing the bottles of bleach. Just the diluted spray bottles.

    Our pathology collection centres dilute bleach to 12% for wiping down surfaces. I've never asked but I presume someone who knows has come up with that %. I'll ask next week.

    Good luck mate. Last week they were telling us that under 16's were rarely catching it. Then this week in Adelaide a 4 month old baby and the mother were in hospital having come back from Iran. I'm not too worried for me personally. Even having to go around picking up pathology specimens and...

    The Coronavirus thread.

    I noticed earlier in the week Coles were out of rice, but Woolworths had loads. I put that down to the fact Coles had the 5kg bags half price this week. We usually buy food when it on special, so tend to have a little stock pile anyhow.. The only problem this week was we were down to our last...

    Vegetarians and Vegans

    A few years ago a friend of a friend moved to Australia. My friend asked if we'd meet him and his wife. We did. Although we had no idea he was a vegetarian, and so was his wife supposedly . He was weird on so many levels it's not funny. When they came to our place he'd bring food for them, but...

    Snoring

    I have had a look at something similar. I want an alternative for camping when we might not have power. The solution is to stop the snoring. Ear plugs don't stop snoring. People should read up about the damage it's doing to the snorers body.

    Snoring

    When I was snoring I just laughed when my partner mentioned it. Now I have had the sleep test and have a CPAP machine I realise what an awful pressure (if that's the right word?) it was putting on my body. I was tired. Blood pressure was always an issue even with medication. Mostly I'm in a...

    Snoring

    Wow, still 12. If I were her I'd go back and see if they can do anything to get it down further. I know there are different levels of CPAP machines. I have the auto one that adjusts while I'm sleeping. When I was tested the doctor I went to said people either love the CPAP or hate it. I'm one...

    Snoring

    My missus used to worry about me. I'd stop breathing for ages when I was asleep. For a long time I laughed it off. When I got tested they reckoned I stopped breathing nearly 40 times an hour. Now I'm down to less than one. She insisted I went and got tested. Apparently the relief your body gets...

    Snoring

    Sound advice. I have a CPAP machine. No more snoring. No more sore throats. Blood pressure much much lower. All round feel much better.

    Started a Coopers kit

    I think PoR is the hop Coopers use to bitter most of their beers. I bought a 50 gram packet. I can post you the other 25 grams if you want Terry. It's still in the freezer.:laugh8:

    Started a Coopers kit

    Yes I think all those hops would go well. I too made this beer. A while ago now. In fact one of my first brews, when I didn't really know what I was doing. I used Pride of Ringwood hops for what reason, I have no idea. It wasn't until much later I found out that PoR is basically a hop used for...

    Started a Coopers kit

    Sounds all right. Nice amount of malt and no sugar. It'll be a good un. What temperature are you fermenting it at? And is it a constant temperature?
