Brewed some wheat beer yesterday. Briess LME, perle and spalter hops, a dash of lemon juice and corriander. Made about 3 gallons and am fermenting in a 5-6 gallon Coopers carboy. The bubbles from the airlock have been going ape****, in fact, I one side of the water ( using a 2 bubble airlock)...

Saw an Erdinger clone recipe for 3 gallon batch. It called for 0.2 oz Perle pellets ( 60 min). 0.3 oz Spalt Spalter pellets (15 min) and 0.3 Spalt Spalter ( 1 min). Added to Briess unhopped bavarian wheat LME. I have an oz of each. Would I mess up the brew if I added all the hops at above...

I have a sealed bag of Coopers carbonation tablets. Packaged in 2006. I was told they should still be ok to use. Thoughts? I'd hate to chuck em out, since I've got 2 bags of them. Question 2. Is 11.5 gms of yeast too much for a 2-3 gallon batch? I have a wheat and an Ale yeast, but am only...

I have 3.3 lbs of Briess CBW Bavarian wheat LME unhopped. Also some Spalter and German Perle hops. My questions are: 1. Do I need to add any brew sugar? I'm thinking no. 2. How much water should I start with when brewing the hops ( may add orange peel and corinader). Should I follow an extract...

I have two cans of Coopers extract. One Lager and a Canadian Blond. The kit included 1 kg of brewing sugar and 1kg of brew enhancer. Anyone know how and when to add these. It says to add sugar to wort mixture, but nothing about enhancer? Plus it only included one bag of each, yet two cans...

Some one just gave me a Coopers Homebrew kit . Along with it came two cans of extract...best used by 2007 and 2008. Are they useless, and just toss them out, or give them a shot? Thanks

As you can see, I'm a noob poster, and a relative noob brewer. I just wanted to say thanks to the guys here who share their thoughts and give unselfish advice to many redundant questions. You have helped me more than you know. I've got a stout, a wheat and a Grand Cru awaiting my lips. But as...

Its for an Erdinger clone. My question is, will this turn out better than just using cans of HME and UME extract? I don't mind a little more work, and I'm trying to move on to a slightly more advanced stage than say the Mr.Beer route. What I'm trying say is with this recipe ( or any similar)...

Bottled a Brewfirm product...Grand Cru about a week ago. I read where someone had it bottled for a year and it only got better. A YEAR? ::eek: God grant me patience...and I want it right now. I was planning to bottle condition for about 6-8 weeks. Now I have second thoughts. Any...

First post, and I'd first like to say thanks to all the guys who help out here and have the patience to answer redundant questions. I have a couple.Totally unrelated. 1. Fermenting 3 gallons in a 6 gallon carboy? No harm? or not recommended? 2. I have a 5 gallon bucket that held pickles (...
