What other fermentable did you use? Some of the Muntons are pretty decent if you use 3 lbs of Dried malt with them.

I use bottled spring water from wal-mart for 80c a gallon, I use my Coopers fermenter in my basement and it is fine, the only batch that came out kind of funky was when I used tap water(and it was even drinkable after 6 weeks in bottles).I use Iodophor, very cheap sanitizer and you don't have to...

I still use it sometimes, I bottle half a batch and put the rest in the beer machine with a 1/4 cup of sugar & wait 10 days.I don't think I would ferment from the beginning, doesn't handle pressure well, and seal sucks.

I am just learning to be patient AND IT IS REALLY PAYING OFF.3 weeks min. in primary and 3 weeks in bottles makes for a great beer. I think most people who think their batch didn't turn out right just did not wait long enough.

Try getting it colder before you pitch your yeast, I put my jugs of bottled water in the fridge overnight so they will help drop my temp more, I shoot for 68 to 70 when I pitch and then it will usually warm up a few degrees when fermentation starts, I guess the first days of fermentation are the...

There should be a sticky for great Craigslist deals. help people get good brewing stuff cheap!

http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/app/1831592994.html Would I be better off building one myself? or one like this? seems a little bit on the high side by about 150$ although it seems to have a nicer fridge then most i see.

Yeah, but he is including the stand, which new would make it considerably more.

I just can't fathom brewing that much right now, but for 75$. who knows.

I started with the coopers kit, I still use it.You can bottle from the fermenter because it is above the trub and draws from above it. Craig from craig tube is awesome. The only problem with the coopers jug is that the screw on lid can be finicky. I waited till they had a coupon and got it for...

I have a Coopers fermenter, Mostly I secondary in a carboy and then transfer back to fermenter with spigot(coopers fermenter) and mix with priming sugar mixed with water. But I just wanted to add sugar to bottles individually.

In a bind, I need to bottle a stout I made a month ago. trouble is, it is in the bottling bucket.I am going to have to prime each bottle, I figure 1 &1/2 teaspoons per bottle( 1 liter bottles). I have an old bag of table sugar and a sealed bag of powdered (confectioners sugar). Which one should...

Fun to watch, not fun to clean up!

I re-hydrated my yeast for the first time for a stout and it was the first blow out I had. I am going to do this from now on.

I have 3 beermachines and the big flaw is the seal. I have even put my beer from my carboy in it, I bottled half and put the rest in the beer machine with a half cup of sugar.The problem with the seals is that you can never get enough pressure on the beer without it squirting out the sides. It...

I would pour the dry malt the sugar and the coopers in your fermenter and then pour your boiling water on top(unless using glass) and stir well to aerate. I use only the Coopers & Muntons canned kits, I heard if you boil the canned malt it will hurt the flavor or boil off the hopped flavor.

You need a high protein, low fat, all the essential amino acid beer.:D
