Unlike you I don't like beer that tastes like piss, but if your beer tastes good after pissing in it, keep doing it your way! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Yeah group buys might be an option....have you tried Austin home brewer? They have cheap prices and a standard $6.99 shipping rate... Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Since most of my argument in his I brew is on cost, can you give me an extract recipe where I can get the materials I need and have it mailed and cost $50 or less...cause right now the cheapest I can do for a 5 gallon recipe with everything included and free shipping is $50... Sent from my...

Batt1, could it be that I asked a question to see if there was anymore information on a topic? Would that be possible? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The main problem in your response is "They said it won't be as good.." What is good beer? It's completely subjective based on the person. If you think every single detail needs to be carried out especially the amount of water for it to be as good as possible than that's your opinion. If...

Why did all the responses repeat everything I said in the question? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Well I disagree, mainly I live in a remote area where everything has to shipped in by airplane so I have limited options on making brewing affordable and being able to make an adequate amount. My goal is to be able to brew 60 12 oz beers without paying a ton if money. So the results of brewing...

I disagree, the ones I've done have a much more smoother taste and finish, a lot better than having one or two heavy microbrews in a pub and being completely done since the content is so high. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So I'm used to Coopers kits which are all 6 gallon kits, however now I'm on to recipes from my local brew shop which are only 5 gallon recipes. If I still make 6 gallons of beer with a 5 gallon recipe how will this impact my beer? Beyond less content or alcohol per bottle beer is there...

I was using carbonation drops before, but with my latest batch I just started using priming sugar. I let my strong ale ferment for two weeks, after about 10 days all fermentation signs died way down, so I decided to bottle 4 days later. I used priming sugar, by boiling 5 oz with 2 cups of...

So bottling before the yeast is fully done attenuating the wort is like using gasoline to start a fire? And bottling after the yeast is done attenuating is like using matches and making sure the sticks are stacked right? I haven't had massive problems getting carbonation, it's just a lot...

I've been doing some simple coopers brew kits the past couple years and just started doing extract recipes. What I've noticed about the coopers kits (using the dry yeast and carbonation drops) is that the shorter amount of time spent in the fermenter, the higher carbonated the beer is...

Thanks, I didn't realize how many recipes they have on their actual site.

I've seen a few different ones online, but I don't want to buy a bunch of extra stuff (or have access to a local brew shop where I live) and I don't have the equipment to do anything that complicated. I was thinking about trying to do like a berry veiss or a berry lager by someone mixing fruit...

Yeah, unfortunately I'm stuck in a situation where I don't have space to order anything and I'm keeping it extremely simple. Right now I'll just experiment will adding an extra cooper's brew enhancer and see how that affects it.

I've done the lager, irish stout, and bitter english. Now, I'm looking for the kit that will give me the most boom for my buck! Which Cooper's kit has the highest alcohol content? Or which kit can I easily turn into the highest ABV?

I got this kit because after brewing 3 decent beers from cooper's (stout, lager, bitter english) I wanted to make something that tasted more like "commercial beer," to see what kind of results I could get. I just started my first batch last night. But now on my 2nd batch I want to try and...

Alright, cool, that's what I thought. Thanks!

I'm working with a cooper's DIY kit, and I want to get better yeast because I'm not a big fan of the "yeasty" after taste I get with the current Coopers brew kits. I want to use safale s-04 and US-05, I've heard good reviews of both of these. However, when I go to their site, the directions...

This is my first official brew, so I got Coopers DIY Kit, and it comes with the lager. Well, I measured my Original Gravity (OG) and it was at 1.052, then I did my Final Gravity (FG) measurement two weeks later and it was 1.010. So if you do the math on it, 1052 - 1013 = 39 divided by 7.46 =...
