timfuller · May 9, 2014

Thought I would just post as first ever home brew has just been put on..

1 x Thomas Coopers Wheat
1 x Thomas Coopers Liquid Wheat Malt
150g Thomas Coopers BE 1
Thomas Cooper Wheat kit yeast

Yeast pitched at 24c

OG 1.045

Sitting happily in the cupboard at 22-23c...

Just got to be patient and leave it alone now.......

Just also want to say thanks for this forum as if not for all the info on here I do not think I would have plucked up the courage to have a go.

: cheers:

It's a wheat beer, meant to be drunk young, so 1-2 weeks in the warm, few days in the fridge and you can start on it. :thumb:

darrellm - thanks, and yes I am sure curiosity will get the better of me after 10 days in the bottle and I will have to drink one...

Gonna test the gravity tomorrow as that is day 6. Started at 1046 so would like to see somewhere at 1015 tomorrow as i know the temp has been at the lower end 20c-22c for the good old Coopers Aussie yeast. Gonna try and let it come down to under 1010 before bottling.

Will let you know the result.... :thumb:

Wizard, Yea I think I have the bug already.

Tested today after a stir on Wednesday and the FG was stable at 1.015 since Wednesday. So it is now 44 Bottles sitting in the cupboard at about 20c.

Now I just have to leave it till next weekend before I have my first test....

Next brew planned is Festival Golden Stag Summer Ale... Going on tomorrow.
