I think mine is Coopers Irish Stout with 1 kg of coopers liquid malt. i brewed it for my Dad as he drinks stout (Guinness) religiously and I am a Lager drinker. However it was so nice I drank it all and am putting on another batch this weekend.

Great thread btw I use the dishwasher. However it warps my PET and Ox-bar bottles, causing caps not to seal correctly. My machine seems not to have a "heat" cycle but dries at end of wash using dry heat. I use a cleaner/ sterilizer called VWP, it can be used as a dishwasher cleaning agent...

My FG came out, If I remember, slightly high - like 1012 or something. However I often find it hard to get my beers to drop to 1010 or 1008. I did not make a record of it afterwards though as I was so sure it was not going to work. As for a name its got to be something lke "Jay's 5 second...

Has cleared somewhat since but I notice a bit of a scum on the top of the bottles, something I have never seen before, and a fair bit of sediment after a week of secondary fermenting...

Thanks for replies all. A mixed resppnse. It was scraped very quickly off a recently cleaned tiled floor. I left the liquid and kust scraped up lumps of yeast. On a positive note I pitched quickly at 23 C and it began bubbling within an hour or 2. It's a brupacks Belgian witbier and comes with...

Hi all I am an idiot. I was getting a brew ready, mixed yeast in a cup with water and left aside. was ready to pitch, spilled yeast on floor, no more yeast to hand. no local HBS. So I scraped the mess off the floor and pitched all the lumpy bits. its a 10 litre brew but yeast...

Sound mate thanks, I will leave it so and hope for the best. I will taste one to see what its like - I have one in the fridge now.

Hi all A quick question - I got a coopers home brew kit from the wife for Christmas. I brewed up my first batch of Coopers lager that came with it,using the brewing sugar supplied. Just finished drinking them - very nice. However I ordered another brewcan - Coopers heritage lager and the...
