No coopers is 7g per package. And no do not boil coopers kits unless you want to remove the hop profile and unbalance the beer. I always pitch into fermenter i dont not rehydrate and i have never had an issue ever.

I have a few tips for you to try use only 19-20liters of water it really reduces the wateryness. if possible keep fermentation @ 66f or 19c. these help alot with flavor.but the brews you made will be good im sure.

Thats funny you mention that I noticed some of my favorite brews I used brown sugar that could be it. I mainly primed with just dextrose but past 3 batches(none ready yet) I used all coopers bottling drops.(they contain dextrose, maltodextrine and i believe dme?)Just to test if they will make...

Yeah I tend to let my brews age at least 2-3weeks minimum always. I found out quickly if you wait awhile you beer gets better. I just received my heading powder and will be adding it to my next 2 batches (which are almost done) I will update this thread to let everyone know how it turns out in...

I have ordered from him a few times and yes i agree Hes a good guy.. To be quite honest though i brew alot of beer and don't want to have to order so much so often.. I know his prices are decent but yeah I don't have grain mill or anything or a large enough pot and i dont feel for blowing so...

So im pretty sure i blew it lol.. My temperature rose to over 180 so i doubt i did it right.. ah well i hope it turns out ok.

Yeah beer is stupid expensive in canada, unless you homebrew:mug:. I can buy coopers kits in save on foods (on sale) for 11.99 then 500g-700g dextrose is no more than 2$.. but to buy a case of beer in my town (12 beer) = 24$.. so yeah...I homebrew, and have for over a year now :)

I'm just looking for a good thermometer for the boil. One that i can just place in the pot and have the digital read out beside the pot. I am looking for 1) digital 2) AA batteries/AAA batteries or a plug in only... not little tiny batteries.(i have oodles of rechargeable aa//aaa) 3)...

Cheers thanks so much for input will have to give it a go next batch :mug:..and yeah it should help with head retention as well (after a quick google search). I just wasnt sure how much or what heat but now i at least have something to try XD. thanks

Any ideas on how much flaked oat I would need or length of boil required ? I really don't know the science behind the mash. Thanks for input.

TYMAN..I never even noticed that but lol..it is a funny offtopic. Yeah rev I do understand the risk of contamination but I'm the kinda brewer that will try everything at least once for myself to just see if it works... will i try the egg white thing absolutely, just to see if it works. Kreamy...

The link / source was some guy in a thread who brewed kits like me for 18 years (or something like that) he just posted it and said trust me it works.. then that was it.. ill try to find link Heres link post number #15...

I am lookng for a quick easy way to get (no flavour) into my beer but increase head retention. in a 5 galon batch. I want something simple, as I can not boil the wart because I use coopers kits which are non boil. The beer flavour is good the carbination is fine but now its just the head...

I agree with rev he is one of the smartest brewers here, and what he says is 100% accurate But for me personally my favorite to use is a bucket. Glass looks nice but fragile. Also I like to be able to bottle directly from the primary with the spigot. For me only real reason is convenience for...

coopers lauger (on sale) 11.99$ brew sugar- 2$ so 13.99 for 20 liters XD
