trust me pal, it tastes as good as it looks! wink...

Ok so i've just bottled and mini kegged my 2nd brew. I did the Coopers english beer, i did it with 500g of light spray malt and 300g of brewing sugar and also added 4 more grammes of yeast so 10 grammes in total. I left it 19 days to ferment @ a controlled 20c, upon bottling and kegging it...

Ok so here's the 1st proper pint, clean crisp taste, lovely and clear, plenty of carbonation. Just need to sample a few more haha. Got a final ABV% of 4.89

I'm using plastic 1's so all is good

20L of coopers international bitter.

Well all is bottled, but by bloody hell did that take a while, took longer than mixing the bloody thing haha. To be fair though a lot of that was down to sanitising bottles. So now i have just mixed my Coopers International Bitter.

thanks for the welcome, benjamin and leemond

i'm presuming not everyone drinks their samples, i know i didnt sample my 1st 2.

Well 247 hours in and readings are at 1.010, the sample i just got was not very cloudy at all, had quite a good head to it and quite a few bubbles coming up the sample too, now the clincher i supped it down and it was actually very reasonable, very distinctive lager taste with just a hint of...

Thats the plan Alistair, ive got the coopers english bitter to go straight in after ive bottled my mexican cerveza. When that is 3 days old fermenting, im thinking of getting a cider, but i want for the next 10 weeks to not have my fermenting vessel empty for less than 2 days, so basically as...

i'm unsure hence my question as to whether people have tried

The tesco's 1 i drink doesnt say flavourings, as for the sparkling i dont think id risk it but i may give it a whirl in the future with a still 1. @Drunkula, i'm only thinkin of adding a litre or 2 so i cant see it altering the ph of 19-20 litres more!

I was just wondering have any of you either done or thought about using flavoured still water while brewing certain lagers/beers and especially ciders. I drink alot of these and can see them adding a nice fruity edge to certain brews. Tesco's are doing 3 x 1 litre bottles for a pound. Is this...

Cheers pete, yeah i get what you're saying about taking too many readings and wasting a little too much beer, and the way you are doing your readings i will deffo do in future. Yes again i went for a happy medium on what i researched online of brewing temps, again i'll wait for results on this...

Cheers i like a good fruit cider so i will look into it.

Cheers GerritT, yeah as i just mentioned above im gunna do a coopers bitter while ive got my lager conditioning, then while bitter is conditioning im gunna do a cider i think.

Yeah i wasnt going to rush things its really not worth it, but i am limited for space so i may not go into AG, but i could change my mind i do regularly haha!!! ive got a coopers bitter to do next. can you give me info on where you get your kits please banbeer.
