Fatgodzilla, THAT was the kind of answer I was looking for. I am just starting out here and plan on doing a bit of experimentation. The Coopers kits seem like a good platform to use to that end.

SG had not changed in the past three days which is why i racked it to the secondary

Last week I started my very first brew, A True Brew Amber Ale and transferred it to my secondary today. 1 can Muntons Hopped Lme 2# Muntons LDME 1 oz UK First Gold Hops 30 min boil 1/2 tsp Irish Moss last 10 minutes 6gr Muntons standard Yeast OG 1044 FG 1014 (Currently in Secondary)...

Yes, BUT this is what the store sold me. And there are a lot of Aussie Coopers recipes where they are using 1kg of dextrose, no malt. I just don't think it would make a good IPA or Stout. Has anyone actually tried it, or is it too horrible to contemplate?

I imagine that the can of NO BOIL extract makes up the fermentables, plus the 2.2 # of dextrose that the LHBS says add. the 4# is what the seller is giving away with the kit. I guess it was intended to make a rather strong brew? Enough to make the brew and have enough left over for priming? I...

The recipe says to use 500gr of DME and 300gr Dex. What advantage would there be in using all Dex? And does 4# pounds seem excessive?

Could someone give me the pros and cons concerning using a Coopers Kit and Using Dextrose for the fermentable. One of the LHBS is selling these at a good price but is including 4 # of Dextrose. Various beers like IPA, STOUT, Pilsner and wheat are being offered in the COOPER Brewmaster kits. I...

I have a donated glass 5 gal carboy that is just begging to be useful.

I can wait, but I do want to free up my fermenter for batch #2. I am unclear as to what i will lose if I rack to my secondary, where it can sit for 2 weeks ,if I will still have yeast to eat my priming sugar then. I guess I still have a lot to learn!

OK, I pitched on Sunday, OG 1045. Furious bubbling for 36 hours now on wednesday eve no bubbles. My gravity is 1020 now. Some patches of yellow still on top floating , not much. I plan on bottling or pitching to a secondary next monday when I am off. Should I go ahead and bottle so my yeast...

The cooling initially took about 20 minutes and I did use ice. It was around 80 when I stopped. I let it sit so long because 1) it was my first batch and 2) I wanted the wort to be cool enough so as not kill my yeast. I live in Florida and I was very concerned I would not be able to keep my...

First time brewing, using a True Brew Amber Ale. Followed instructions, Brewed for 30 minutes then added a 1/2 tsp of Irish Moss for last 15 minutes. I had some difficulty getting a good boil, on my glass rangetop with 1.5 gal of water. I didn't add the ingredients until it was boiling so...

Using the rubbermaid method. And I am here in Lakeland. So the basic brewing kit is all I need? what yeast do you recommend and what beer recipe will I have best luck with combined with that yeast? I will order in the next day or two, but won't brew until late October. Should I wait a week...

I am ready to take the plunge to begin brewing. Here in Florida temperatures are a bit high even indoors, in the 78-79 range. What can anyone recommend as to how to get started, what equipment to buy and what ingredients will work best given my warm climate?
