Just posting so that I don't lose track of this thread! I'm currently based in London (England) but will be in Mesa next summer for flight training. How close are you all to the airport? I won't have any equipment with me so would love to keep brewing and hopefully learn some stuff from the...

It looks very similar to the mounts you get for technical diving. Go to your local dive shop and I'm sure they can sort you out with something in stainless steel.

Another bump here. I had this beer again today and my god was it epic. If any has come close to cloning it I'd love to hear about it.

Welcome from another UK brewer (central London). Whereabouts are you located?

I know I'm resurrecting a very old thread here but it seems the Coopers instructions are still as bad now as they always were. I recommend anyone about to brew one of these reads their website (here) as the instructions online are far superior to the printed ones.

Thanks guys, I have a fermenting bucket on order (albeit without an airlock and tap - maybe a mistake but I can easily add them later). I will follow the sugar quantities to the gram!

Thanks for the heads up! I just located it and am avidly reading it now.

Thanks Kombat - you replied while I was typing. It's all a lot clearer now. EDIT: The logic with the smaller carboys is that I can maybe brew different beers in each. While I'm starting out I don't want to have a huge 19L batch of the same beer in case it's duff.

Thanks Freisste - just to clarify you mean 5-7 days fermenting in the carboy with yeast? Once I add the sugar does it need to wait any longer before I bottle it? The Complete Joy of Home Brewing is generally extremely clear but this section just seems terribly written.

Thanks for all your advice - I really do appreciate it. I must confess I'm kind of set on using the glass carboys, partly because I already have them cluttering up my tiny flat, partly because they're kind of beautiful and bring back lots of memories, partly because the amount of beer I drink...

Hi all, first post, be gentle, YMMV, FTW and all that. So I'm new to home brewing, I bought all the kit online and am waiting for it to arrive. I decided to go down the extract route for the first batch and I'm going to be roughly following the "Complete Joy of Home Brewing" methodology...
