Thanks, good to hear! Which yeast shall I buy? I've used WB-06 in the past but for another wheat extract, would that suit?

Hi all, I have a can of Coopers Preachers Hefe Wheat that expired in mid April this year, is it safe to brew or do I risk wasting time and efforts? If yes, brew it - any suggestions? I'm thinking to stick to the recommended addition of 1kg coopers dry malt, any other nice add-ons? If not...

Just as a quick update here, I've tasted the first bottle last night and the beer came out great!! Happy days :drink:

And we're all still alive! :drink:

hahaha that's extreme!

Good to hear I'm not the only one who did such a thing... seems to be more common that thought!

Thanks, I hope so! I'm only on my third batch, don't know how easy these things can be ruined.

I was brewing a Coopers Wheat beer yesterday with some tweaks... After carefully sterilizing all equipment, boiling all ingredients to avoid contamination, I was pouring the contents from my coopers can and... boom! dropped the can inside the fermenter :doh::oops: Quickly grabbed it back...

Interesting! Might give that a go on my next lager, thanks.

Have you guys seen this? http://brulosophy.com/2016/02/08/fermentation-temperature-pt-4-lager-yeast-saflager-3470-exbeeriment-results/ I wasn't going to brew a lager because I don't have a "proper" temperature control, but after reading this blog I decided to give it a go... Here's to hope!

Tastes pretty good, had one last week and one this week, it changed a lot, so much better! I guess I now have an idea of what "green" beer tastes like, and to tbh, the sample from yesterday tastes like any good wheat beer out there!

thanks for the feedback! I've pitched the whole saflager packet + half of kits yeast, 36 hours on and looks pretty active! Been keeping at around 16C degrees, hope my first lager will turn out good!

Hi all, I'm planning to brew a Coopers Selection Pilsner tonight and wanted to use Saflager W-34/70 instead of the kit yeast. However I've just received delivery of the yeast and the recommended dosage as per pack is 10 to 15 litres, so I reckon I need two of these for my 23litre brew? Can I...

Thanks for the feedback. I've waited another day and bottled it, just couldn't wait any longer :whistle:

Here's a picture to make it a bit more clear to understand my query...

One last question - today is bottling day, beer tastes great (just like Hooegarden, although flat!) and the FG has been stable for the past 3 days... However when I look at my FV, the colour of the beer on top is different than towards the middle or bottom of the FV, it is obvious that is...

Day 1 and 2 pictures, does it look alright?! The colour changed a lot from first to second day... Is ok to open the FV to have a quick look inside on a daily basis?

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys, this forum already proved more than useful!

Sounds excellent, many thanks for the feedback!
