I have my second batch of beer in the fermenter. I pitched the yeast 6 1/2 days ago. And i have a coopers microbrew plastic fermenter. The airlock has been filled with star san and water solution. I'v re-filled it a couple of times during the six days with a spray bottle filled with the same...

Alot of people use celsius and my my thermometer on my fermenter is in Celsius. Never even knew how to read celsius untill i started home brewing. Its funny what you'll learn when your interested in something.

I just ordered my first partial mash kit from northern brewers. Its there oatmeal stout partial mash kit. Do the speciality grains that you have to steep come all ready crushed. i'v only done no boil extract kits in the past and i'm moving on too partial mash. But i deff. don't have a mill to...

Without beer, life would be a mistake.

I just took a hydrometer sample of my second batch of home brew. Been in primary for almost a week. And i tasted the sample and its great taste better then my bottled first batch. The first batch i didn't get a great beer maby a bud light quality beer. So i was like this isn't worth it for the...

I saw bubbling in my airlock after about 16 hours and it bubbled for almost 3 days then stopped. The beer was very cloudy after the 6-7 days in the primary that cooper recomends. So i left it in there for 18 days and it cleared up nice i just bottled 5 days ago. You may have a leak somewhere...

I open a coopers lager that i bottled 5 days ago. My first batch ever i just couldn't wait to take a sample. The beer was slightly carbed a light hisss when i took off the cap. But it smelled sweet and tastes almost like a sweet green apple taste. Is this infection? I know its probaly not but...

I'm a new brewer and i have only really done no boil cooper kits. This time i got a coopers no boil IPA kit and wanted to tweak it a little. The directions say 500g of DME and 300g of dextrose. Instead i added 1kg of light DME and about 200g of dextrose thinking that the orginal recipe was kind...

I used dme instead of that dextrose and my kit tasted alot better. It was a lager but i'm sure it won't matter just use a light DME. And don't boil the extract alot of people make this mistake i'v come to relize. What i did was when i boiled the gallon of water the kit calls for i boiled the DME...

I'm a new brewer but try wraping your fermenter in blankets. And putting your fermenter on a blanket or some towels. My temps were a bit low also that helped and i also just ordered a cheap heat belt witch will help alot i'm sure. Just next kit you order to brew throw a heat belt in with the...

I just used star san for the first time today. And i know it says no rinse but stupid me saw all that foam and rinsed it out with tap water. Now after reading up on it after making the batch. I now know don't fear the foam its good. But by not researcing this first and dumb me not following...

Thanks man thats the plan. I been reading alot on partial kits and even done a little reading on all grain. I'm real excited to just make my next beer hoping i'll do a little better then the last. Just started brewing but love it i'm hooked for life i think.

Thanks for all the answers that makes me feel better. And i did boil the hops with the light dme sorry forgot to mention that. This is only my second batch and i wanted to spice it up a little . Just was a little worried cause i don't have alot of experience. My first batch is still in the...
