it is slightly off. 0.996. i added some more sugar in the beginning to get a slightly higher ABV.

Hi I started my Coopers kit 2 weeks ago. Had good fermentation and now it is clearing up nicely. I took out a sample today to measure SG (1.002?!?). Afterwards I tasted the sample and though it tasted ok and in the area of wheat, it was very thin and lack of body. Will the beer get some...

Ok thanks. I'll leave it. Don't have any problems with the three extra inches in height. Just don't Want to screw things up like last time:s

Now 5 days into fermentation, (had some pretty heavy activity) and all the foam has settled. It would now be the time to remove the krausen collar. But do i really have to. Would it be ok to leave in and not have to Open the bucket?

WOW!!!! The foam/yeast has risen 4-5 inches (10-12 cm) over night. I didn't even get half that activity last time! :D The temp. is fairly stable at 18-20C. And this time not as much "mush" at the bottom of the fermenter. Hi hi! Very exciting! (For me at least:) )

Went down to check my brew. All the bubbles were gone and it looks like the yeast is at the bottom of the fermenter. Am I ok? Is this normal? And I know... Patience! But still;)

Got it. Krausencollar in, yeast sprinkled on top, now... I´ll wait;) Thanks for the help you guys. i´ll let you know how it turns out:)

will it really rise that much? i mean its not in the other sets. what do they do? i'll put it in then. don't like cleaning, you know. how about the yeast. sprinkle or mix it in?

is it really necessary to have in?

Hi again. Lots of good advise. Thanks:) I need one more. Sprinkle the yeast on top or mix it in?? Think i'll leave it alone for 3 weeks and 3 weeks in the bottles before cooling. The a couple of weeks or so in the fridge before drinking and hopefully enjoying my brew.

http://things-4-you.dk/hjemmebrygning-4/startsaet-86/a-coopers-startsaet-488.html the fermenting bucket has a plastic collar inside where the krausen stick and you can take it out after the krausen has stuck to it. then it is out of the fermentation bucket ok. i think i´m set. will have a...

i still have a few of the spoiled bottles i the fridge in the shack. its been about 7 weeks since i bottled it. any chance its gone good? i wasn´t able to meassure the "beer" itself. but the sticky thermometer said 21-22C. 2 x 3 weeks it is. and when the yeast has stopped foaming and the...

@ Schol: not much of that gear available i Denmark. but I will definitely go for a part boil kit once i get this right. i need a succes to move on:)

Second fermentation? i only have one bucket. I think I´ve read somewhere that you could replace the enhancer with plain sugar? i used the yeast from the kit My temp. was 21C (from denmark, sorry) @union: I´m not ready to experiment just yet. i really need to get this right. Do you have...

Hi. Thanks for the quick replies. I think i bottled to soon. (after 7 or 8 days, i had a 1.010 reading). priming my bottles with carbonation drops. then waited 1 week. stuffed it in the cooler for 2 weeks and it tasted VERY fruity. not good at all. Now reading all these different posts about...

Hi HBT I'm new to all this brewing stuff, and I am really excited about it. I have the Coopers DIY kit and f***** up the Lager big time. (think i bottled it to soon). Been reading a lot about how crappy the instructions are on these kits. And now it's time to try the coopers wheat. And i...
