Hi Stellastar, it was a beer recipe kit from Brewcraft here in perth but that kit contains the following: Black Rock Pilsner Blonde Brew Blend #15 - Brew booster 150g Wheat Malt 15g Cascade and 15g williamette infusion bags US-05 Safale Yeast The link for the kit is here...

Awesome thanks guys that puts my mind at rest, this is only my third batch and my first time making anything more challenging that adding a tin and some sugar, looking forward to this one a lot!

Thanks camride, i'm really looking forward to trying this after it has ages a bit, i was surprised at how clear it turned out too and the taste difference between 7 and 12 days in the bottle was amazing, it went from me wanting to pour the whole batch down the sink to wanting to drink another...

Thanks, head retention isn't great at the moment but i'm proud of it as it's my first!

thanks guys, the temperature will definitely come down a lot, my last batch which i bottled tonight before starting this new one was sitting between 18 and 20c for nearly all of the fermentation so fingers crossed it should be ok

Hi Guys, I think i might have just made a slight error, i was making a brewcraft kit and i pitched the safale us-05 yeast that came with it at 30 degrees Celsius, it has since dropped to 26, do you think i will have killed the yeast pitching it that high?

Hi Guys, Just wanted to share my first batch of beer with you all, it was a coopers lager that came with the kit, i bottled it 11 days ago and after trying it after 7 days i was a bit dissapointed with it, it tasted pretty bad but i have just tasted it again tonight after having a bottle in...

Hi guys, Has anyone stumbled across a recipe that is similar to squires one fifty lashes? Quite partial to this beer at the moment and wouldn't mind having a go at making some.

Thanks Guys i'll check these out!

Hi Guys, I was wondering if there is a good PC program or iphone app that you guys use to keep track of your brewing adventures, like a log book or something similar but with built in features that allow you to enter the OG and FG and have it work out alcohol % Can anyone recommend a good...

Thanks for the recipes shawnbou, crabbies is exactly what I was trying to clone too, the current batch of ginger smells good but I think it'll turn out fairly sweet

Hey guys, Just a quick update to this, the ginger beer is fermenting as its down to 1.013 from 1.020, it's still bubbling away very slowly in fact this never went very crazy at all, this was about as lively as this got:

Hi bds3 Yes the OG was 1.020 I thought it was very low but have since discovered from the coopers forum that that's about right

Hey guys, OK so it's coming up to nearly 48 hours in and it still looks the same however there are some small bubbles happening in the fermenter and i've taken a hydrometer reading and it has dropped from 1.020 to 1.017. The temperature of the wort is at 18 degrees which could possibly explain...

Thanks for that I'll just relax :) Drinking a beer whilst writing this, looking forward to the day that I've got a big stash of well aged home brew to drink!

Hi guys, I started a batch of ginger beer last night using a coopers ginger beer kit and 1kg of raw sugar. I pitched my yeast at 24c and overnight it cooled and stabilized at 22c but it's been 24 hours now and there's very little going on in the fermenter as shown in the attached picture...

Thanks Pappers i'll ignore the hydrometer and let it do its thing. It's taking a while for fermentation to get going as well but temperatures have dropped here and it's only been in the fermentor for about 12 hours so i'll keep an eye on it.

Brewcraft sells them in 50g and 15g packs here, checkout this link. http://www.westbrew.com.au/subcatDisplay/Home+Brewing I'm in WA but you can find your local brewcraft site by following the links. Good luck

Hey Guys, I just started my second batch, i decided upon a coopers ginger beer kit as friends regularly drink crabbies and other expensive ginger beers so i thought i'd have a go at brewing some for them. I must say that at the moment my laundry room where i'm brewing smells great, the kit...

Congrats on the brew, i bottles my first ever batch of beer 2 days ago and the suspense is killing me already :) I might have to crack one at the weekend just to note the taste and have something to reference when it ages a bit.
