I would like to make the Cooper's recipe for a Cascarillo Amber Ale, however, I would love to use Citra as a hop. http://www.coopers.com.au/the-brewers-guild/how-to-brew/ale/cascarillo-amber-ale My question is should I replace one of either the Amarillo or Cascade with Citra and which one...

For 18l I'm using 100gm Brown Sugar.

Yeah it's not doing anything, going to bottle. I'm using Brown Sugar (cane) to prime. Do I just mix it with some boiled water and then add to the bucket before bottling?

I was browsing Cooper's website and found this recipe: http://www.coopers.com.au/the-brewers-guild/how-to-brew/mid-strength/kilted-ipa I noticed that they say this: Then they put the ABV at 3.8% That happens to be exactly the same ABV as Brewdog's Dead Pony Club. I know the...

The SG is stable at 1.015; going to give it till Monday then bottle. There are no bubbles in the solution anymore. Will it be safe to bottle if I add Priming sugar? I'm worried about bottle bombs and also whether there is enough yeast for priming.

Thanks a lot that's helpful. So perhaps it better to use 1 kit and 1 wheat LME with a different yeast. Or should I use 1 can with some DME and sugar? So hard to decide. Aiming for around 5.5%

I like to tinker and I have read that 2 cans of extract can give a better result.

Hi all, I'm wanting to make a Cooper's Wheat beer and I need some advice. Can I add two cans of the Coopers wheat beer, or should I rather add 1 can wheat beer, and 1 can wheat malt. Or alternatively I could use 1 can wheat beer and 1kg DME..... At the moment I'm thinking 2 cans...

My secondary is bubbling slowly so I guess that's a good sign! My primary is a brewcraft screw on fermenter and it didn't bubble at all so there must have been escape elsewhere.

Extract, here's my recipe: (note that I only got OG of 1.058 and the total amount in secondary now is 17litres) Pumpkin Ale Christmas/Winter Specialty Spiced Beer Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L): 21.0 Total Grain (kg): 3.900 Total Hops (g): 50.00...

According to BrewMate which I used to make the recipe, the FG should be 1.014

So if it doesn't do anything more do I chuck it out or buy some more yeast?

Oh deary me... :( I put it in secondary because I was worried about all the pumpkin bits floating around.

So my beer (Pumpkin Ale) has been in the primary fermenter for around 1.5 weeks now. It started off at 1.058 and is now at around 1.018. It still tastes a bit sweet. I am worried that it is not going to ferment any more, because it has already been 1.5 weeks. I have put it into a secondary...

Thank you!
