Ok I will look into that. Thanks for your help

Ok so pretty much any of these ingredients hops barely and malt if I was to just put them in a pestle and mortar and grind them up really fine and put them in boiling water then sieve it as the water now has all the good stuff? that's me good to go? Then I can add that to the boil with my can of...

Well I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do for my next brew yet.I've only ever done two in my life. And they where simply pouring cans of coopers and an extra can of lme in. But I'm interested in adding whole malt grains and hops instead of a can of lme as it about £10 a can . Like is it as...

I have also come across 500g of flaked barely or roasted barely and whole chocolate malt if you where going to add them as whole grains would you simply add them to the boil? weight for weight they seem to be cheaper than dme or lme

Thanks a lot

Ok so the malt and hops are added first and mixed then the coppers and remaining malt are added but when you say pasteurised what do you mean? The hops get removed?

Thanks for your replies,I was also curious about adding hops to improve the flavour of my coopers kit. the my local shop sells 100 gram packs. But I'm not sure how much to add or how to do it.

I have only made beer from kits out of my local brew shop. I was looking on there website today,and some of the coopers kits recommended using liquid malt extract along with dry malt. I was hoping someone could tell me why you would need to add both types? I have added extra liquid malt extract...

Sorry about the late post.But after I tasted my first hydrometer reading. I thought the flavours where a bit lacking, so I decided to toast some more coriander seed( 9 grams ) and added it and left it for a few days. So I decided to post after the bottled beer was ready.And after four weeks the...

Will do :)

I just added the lme to a pot then made it up to 5 litres with hot water then I added my spices and let it simmer for 30 minutes then mixed it with the wort which was also mixed with 5 litres of hot water. And then made it up to 20 litres.Do you think the flavours will be noticeable?

Along with my initial extract,I was going to add 1.5 kg coopers liquid malt extract, so I was thinking of mixing my spices in with that in a pot over heat for 20 minutes then adding to my fermentation bucket.25 grams of orange peel and 20 g of coriander

Ok so your saying leave them in 30 minutes max? if I was to leave the orange and coriander in for three weeks the flavour would much too over powering?

That's interesting, I would have though you would need more time for the flavours to be absorbed. Although I haven't any experience!!Does this recipe you do have very mild hints or is it quite pronounced? Hoegaarden has a very unique flavour compared to other wits I've tried, and I think it's...

Hi I'm am about to put on a brew of wheat beer, I'm am brewing it from an extract. i keep it in one fermenter then bottle it.so I was wondering when would be the best time to add my orange and coriander seed, I have been advised it's best to add...

thanks, that was very helpful.

thanks, would you recommend adding them straight away? or later on in the primary fermentation, I bottle mine so I couldn't do it during my secondary.

how would I go about adding coffe beans to a brew if i was making it from a kit where you just add water and sugar? I noticed phrases like cold crashing and dry hopping and they mean nothing to me! is there only very particular...

Ok so 0.037x2.2 / 9 gives me an increase of 0.00904 so 1.069 that's good news I've got a nice strong brew!Thanks for your help.

Ok thanks..so 1kg of lme would increase a gallon of 1.060 to 1.097 so if I had a 9 gallon batch I would divide the .037 by 9?
