Hi everyone! So, I've never tried brewing just from extract before; I've always used kits (used to do the Brew House BIAB kits, now I usually use the Cooper's cans). I still have a couple of the Cooper's Brew A IPA cans, but I've also got a bunch of random leftover malts and a bit of hops. Can I...

Hi folks, I'm still just doing beer from kits (though I've started adding hops), and I have this weird thing happening. Just put on a batch of the Coopers Brew A IPA, and everything went normally (did it exactly as my notes in the past said I'd done it). Topped the fermenter up to 23L, it was...

Hi everyone! So, I've been home brewing on and off for years, but it's pretty much been just following the directions, and I'm trying to get a little more under the hood now. Started with the Brew House BIAB kits (which, honestly, were pretty good, especially their IPA), and I've moved on to...

Hi folks, I'm still fairly new to doing these kits, but I did one a while back and while the result was not bad, I found I didn't hit the OG that I'd figured on, and I'm wondering why. This was a 23L batch, and here's what went in, together with how I did my calculations: 3.75lb Coopers IPA...

Ok, so that first attempt at a Coopers kit didn't go so well. Turns out I didn't really know what I was doing and kind of botched it, though it'll probably be better than what I've been drinking out of the local beer store for a while. But on RM-MN's advice, I've read through most of the...

Hi folks! I've been brewing from the Brew House kits (which are great, but super simple) for about four years, but I've just done a Coopers kit, which threw me for a bit of a loop and took me out of my very narrow element. The Brew House kits that come with 15L of concentrated wort are simple...

Hi folks! Decided to finally get onto a forum and get the advice of people who know what they're doing. I've actually been homebrewing for about 4 years now, but I would hardly call myself experienced, as I've just done the same thing over and over. I've only ever brewed from kits, and only a...
