I was thinking about adding lychee fruit to one of my next brews... *whats a good type of beer to add fruit to? *What should I do to the fruit before placing it into either the primary or secondary? Thanks

Thanks for the quick response guys! I might also add that the gravity is at 1010. So im going to put it in the fermentor tomorrow!:mug:

I've never done the secondary fermentor thing so I have a question or two if you dont mind :drunk: -How much of the bottom yeast should I look into getting inside the secondary? -How do I use my racking cane? -How long should I wait to put from primary to secondary? (right now its been 7...

can anyone answer that for me?

well check this out: I just remembered that I have one of those 5gal water tubs that they put into the water coolers. I really like the way I can bottle using my primary fermentor so I was thinking that I could siphon the brew from the primary into the new tub, then clean and sanitize my...

I have a tap at the bottom of the fermenter and a little bottler which i place in the tap and only poors once it hits the bottom of the bottle. :)

I have a 5 gallon fermentor from coopers.com.au and .5 oz of chinook... Im starting now, we'll see what happens...i'll definately stir a lot though

I am using these instructions so far: http://www.u2canbrew.com/homebrew_basics.html With this Ingredient Kit: http://www.u2canbrew.com/red_ale.html Thanks

All I have is a 2gallon pot in my kitchen, and the instructions I have say that i should top off a pot with 5.5gallons of water after stirring in the malt. What can I do if I do not have that large of a pot?:confused: Thanks

Im pretty sure strawberry ale would taste pretty strange comming back up:drunk:

-Beer shops??? I dont know of any beer shops around here, I have done all my shopping online and will probably get another beginner type amber brew next from the same coopers site. I have yet to try my first brew which is a light ale but I am very excited. It has been in it's secondary...

Im sorry to be such a noob but what exactly is a carboy? drilled stopper? and racking cane?:confused:

Is it possible to make wine using a beer making kit like the Coopers Micro-Brew Kit that I have? If so, how? Thanks
