I've put some in a spoon and crushed them with another spoon...works great.

:rolleyes: Hence...my beer tastes like ass. I've had pigs ass, but yet to savor some baboon....prolly cuz it reminds me of my mother-in-law.

Brewfirm makes a good Belgian extract. They are actually in Belgium I believe. Brewed a Grand Cru and opened one after 5 weeks ( they recommend 6-8 ) in the bottle. Off the hook.

Thanks guys. Enjoying watching the airlock go spastic. Also fun when wife asks what the hell I 've got in that jug.

Great. More beer farts. The wife will be thrilled...:drunk:

Brewed some wheat beer yesterday. Briess LME, perle and spalter hops, a dash of lemon juice and corriander. Made about 3 gallons and am fermenting in a 5-6 gallon Coopers carboy. The bubbles from the airlock have been going ape****, in fact, I one side of the water ( using a 2 bubble airlock)...

Thanks guys. Now to figure .02 oz. out of the 1oz without a scale.

Saw an Erdinger clone recipe for 3 gallon batch. It called for 0.2 oz Perle pellets ( 60 min). 0.3 oz Spalt Spalter pellets (15 min) and 0.3 Spalt Spalter ( 1 min). Added to Briess unhopped bavarian wheat LME. I have an oz of each. Would I mess up the brew if I added all the hops at above...

Thanks guys.

LHBS guy said its good for about 2-3 gallons, so I'm thinking about 2.5. I assume I should boil about 3 gallons, to make up for evaporation? Thanks for your help.

I have a sealed bag of Coopers carbonation tablets. Packaged in 2006. I was told they should still be ok to use. Thoughts? I'd hate to chuck em out, since I've got 2 bags of them. Question 2. Is 11.5 gms of yeast too much for a 2-3 gallon batch? I have a wheat and an Ale yeast, but am only...

I have 3.3 lbs of Briess CBW Bavarian wheat LME unhopped. Also some Spalter and German Perle hops. My questions are: 1. Do I need to add any brew sugar? I'm thinking no. 2. How much water should I start with when brewing the hops ( may add orange peel and corinader). Should I follow an extract...

I have two cans of Coopers extract. One Lager and a Canadian Blond. The kit included 1 kg of brewing sugar and 1kg of brew enhancer. Anyone know how and when to add these. It says to add sugar to wort mixture, but nothing about enhancer? Plus it only included one bag of each, yet two cans...

Some one just gave me a Coopers Homebrew kit . Along with it came two cans of extract...best used by 2007 and 2008. Are they useless, and just toss them out, or give them a shot? Thanks
