Good to hear it turned out. I'm glad you replied with your results because it seems that most of the time the OP doesnt reply and leaves me wondering how it turned out.

What will happen with the taste if you rack over to a secondary too soon? This is my first batch and I racked from the primary over to the secondary at day #6 but only took an FG reading right before racking. Now I'm a bit concerned that I moved it over too soon. FYI, it's a Cooper Australian...

I've seen aluminum locally but I think I've read somewhere that aluminum isnt recommended. Is that the case?

Dont sneeze, those bottles on top might come down hard!

Carbed up, tastes good....I say have another and enjoy!

Just bought my equipment earlier this week and brewed my first batch on Wednesday. I'm excited to taste my own brew and knowing that is is over 3.2% without having to go to the State Liquor Store to get full strength brews! :ban:

No, I didnt boil it but used spring water directly out of the bottle. The ice was directly from my freezer so it may have quite a few nasties. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not too worried that the beer wont turn out but it's nice to learn what I may have done wrong so I can improve next...

Thanks for the help guys. I really didnt want to add some ice but it was a last resort when I had already added all of my water and it was still 88 degrees. Practice will make perfect! FYI, it's already bubbling this morning at the rate of about 1 bubble per minute. I didnt expect it to...

The coopers extract is already hopped. Yes, I added some ice directly to the wort.

Congrats. It sounds like your first batch was a huge success. I just did my first batch tonight as well and hope it turns out just as good.

Okay, I did my first brew ever tonight! I'll list what I did and you can critique it and let me know what I did right or wrong. 1. I boiled about a gallon of water and added the full 3lbs of DME to it and stirred for about 5 minutes to dissolve it. 2. I then added the Coopers liquid malt...

I think I'll add the full 3lbs of DME to the liquid extract.

Cool, thanks for the quick responses guys! It's time to try it out after I get home from work. The next 3 weeks until it's ready are going to seem like an eternity.

I know this has probably been asked 100 times and I apologize. I just picked up my first brewing kit last night and have a question on the Coopers Austrailian Pale Ale liquid malt extract that I'm going to use on my first brew. The instructions say all you need to do is put it in the...
