I get all the above mentioned ingredients (except for the alcohol) from my LHBS. It's worth making, this liquer is delicious on its own - or try mixed with Red Bull.

Yeah, if that's what you want to call it.

Love Jagermeister but hate the cost? I have found a recipe to make a liquer that tastes very similar to the real thing. Ingredients: 1L neutral spirit 40%ABV, Still Spirits Herbal Liquer essence and Still Spirits Liquer base A. Mix together and age it for a week. Serve ice cold, straight from...

Has anyone here added this product to their beer? And if so, did it add any flavours to the brew?

**** the imperial measurement system. It's far too confusing.

It just adds to the flavour.

Prevention is better than cure. You have to ask yourself "Why am I getting hungover?" My extra special brews don't give me any hangovers, provided I drink enough water. It all depends what kind of alcohol you drink.

I've got a wheat beer fermenting at the moment. 1.7kg can of Black Rock Whispering Wheat, and 1.5kg of wheat DME. Should I dry hop it?

You might as well use pre hopped extract as they tend to be a lot cheaper than un hopped extract. Then dry hop for flavour. No need to boil. That's what I do and my beers come out far better than about 90% of commercial brews.

Use turbo yeast.

Add a few Coopers kits together, don't even bother doing a boil. Dry hop for flavour.

I was just about to post the same thing! I got home with my kit, looked on the ingredients and I was shocked to see no wheat in the ingredients list!

I quite like the NZ Hallertau, lots of flavour in it.

Don't mix different types of yeast together. I hope you didn't pitch the yeast into boiling wort.

Use gelatin in conjunction with a cold crash for at least 2 days before bottling/kegging.

Don't bother with DME. Add a few Coopers kits together instead.

No, I've never tried it. I like Schofferhofer hefeweizen, but I'm not too fussy about trying to make a clone. Just something with a nice wheaty flavour.

In NZ we get Coopers (I've never seen a Coopers wheat), Muntons, Brewcraft, Lion and Black Rock. I've heard a lot of wheat kits don't have that 'wheaty' taste that they should have. Is that more to do with the yeast?

Don't dilute it. Use wine yeast.

You don't even need to add sugar. The apple juice I got from a supermarket had an OG of 1.048. Unless you want a really strong brew, skip the sugar. Otherwise, use wine yeast.
