Hello everyone.
Just started a Coopers Stout and thought I might need some tips, so here I am. Been reading a few of the stickies on here, and it seems to me that if I need any pointers then this is definitely the place to be. If I get any problems or queries on this first brew you'll be hearing from me soon :mrgreen:
Thanks for the help already, just by reading posts on here I've learnt a lot!
Cheers!

A big thankyou for the welcome.
Got my first beer in the bottles so a couple of months before I know how I did.
I used Bulmers brown cider bottles as they are 568ml, was just wondering if anyone had the same amount of aggro cleaning the buggers! That metal strip around the neck was a right pain to remove. Any tips on making that a bit easier? My local has willingly obliged to supply me with as many of them as I can carry, so will be cleaning a few more in the not too distant future.
 
Sorry can't help, I get my bottles from my lhbs secondhand, cleaned d labaled 20p a bottle
But there clear witch I prefer
