Interesting comments. At the endof the day if its goin to make a crap beer then its not worth 2 bob. More thought someone here may have tried it already and could shed some light on things. However if thats not the case im only to happy to try myself, but having 120 long necks still in stock im...

Nice, cheers for that. Anyone else care to comment???

Stumbled across a yeast by chance(but seems its commonly used amoungst home distillers)that ferments 25ltrs in 24hrs to 14% ABV. Maybe everyone knows about this stuff, but i havnt heard of it. Has anyone tried this or somthing similar in a beer brew, or is it even possible to use? Seems like...

Update - Being a first brew I obviously drank it way to early. But never noticed anything wrong with any of it besides the flavours were all over the shop as it went from semi-green to pretty dam good by the last bottle.

On a side suggestio for the burner, grab one of those cheap camping gas cookers. There like $30 at your local camp store or even cheaper at your local big box variety store(Kmart and BigW here in AUS). They take like a fly spray can style of burner gas that usually come in cheap 3 packs. Or use...

Well, against advice I have gone and tried the brew 2 weeks in. TBH, fricken glad I did, its tasting great and im gettin stuck into it right now. Pretty sure it'll still get better by what people say, but its very drinkable at this moment in time. Good head on it, flavour has filled out heaps...

Cheers Gr8shandi, that link looks good for a read. Well it seems like the brew just has to sit for an extended time and hopefully its gonna mature up ok. Im not expecting miracles, its a can mix after all, but im hoping to have atleast an ok drinkable brew. Plan is to do a few of these to make...

Its 8 days in the bottle. As far as yeast goes, would have a bloody clue. Just whatever came with the pack in the foil sachet. TBH didnt realise there was so many types. But it is my first ever home brew and I have alot to learn. Hey Goodsuds, cheers for that info. Yeah, after reading here it...

Hi all again Well, I have my first ever batch bottled. Its 8 days old now, and in keeping within some of the reading I have been doing it seems like its important to taste/smell/play with the brew at different stages to get a feel for how it tastes at differt times to help understand the...

Thanks Guys, good to know I havnt buggered anything up totally. Def Orgi, I always try to post back on forums. Always important to complete a thread for future peeps reference.

Hi all, new to site. Unfortunatly I have had a rookie mistake. Had a look through some old posts, alot of "Is my brew ruined" stuff which isnt very helpful for titleing tbh, lol:p Anywayz, this is my first batch of beer ever, its a Coopers DIY Lager. I bottled it about a week ago and its been...
