Tried the pilsner and it's really good.the missus loves it more than me and has been drinking it like there's no tomorrow.i have hardly any left!! I'm hiding the 10 that remain to try at the end of spring.better brew a new one!! Any decent recipes folks? Thought I'd vary it this time

The brews went down brilliantly, a few tears shed but fab way to remember my old man! My brother was so inspired he's going to start brewing too! Brewing up a new one today. Merry Xmas all

Thanks! Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi thanks all I have made stout, Irish stout, coopers lager,pilsner - one brew for each of us siblings! This also gave me the chance to have a few to share with friends. Cannot wait for the family opening at Xmas!will be emotional!

I started honebrewing in September and I wholeheartedly love it.my dad used to brew and as we lost him one Boxing Day a few years ago I thought it might be nice to start a homebrew for the family to drink to raise a glass to him graveside this year.they love the idea. I'm now totally hooked...

That sounds great! How long did you ferment it for?

Tasted the stout today and boy it's good! Going to have trouble making this last...must have patience it's still quite young.also tried my coopers lager and that was also really good! Tops!!

I had the same reaction - the other half thought a drain was out of action! I'm no longer allowed to brew pilsner after this one! Lol

Cheers all.the vinegar smell has disappeared and the smell itself is slowly leaving.phew I was worried! I'll try to leave it in the secondary FV I think, the garage has a good temperature but not quite as low as 4C. What do you all do to keep the brew cold when there's no fridge?

Put my Irish stout on yesterday Coopers Irish stout tin Brew enhancer 3 Dried dark malt Muscovado sugar Cocoa powder It's foaming up nicely very much looking forward to this one

Hi all 3 days ago I started up a coopers 86 day pilsner.it absolutely stinks.ammoinia/vinegar/egg smell.its in my garage about 14 degrees.has a decent foam on it.the smell is nasty is this normal? It came with lager yeast which I've not used before. Everything was thoroughly sterilised...

So in my haste to make the pilsner I put in 1kg brew enhancer 1 and then the whole 500g dme by accident as it slipped out of my hand.i was intending on putting half of that in. Any ideas what it might end up like?

All recipes sound great. I've now got my Irish stout in. Suggestions on recipes welcome!

Thanks everyone after a couple of weeks in the FV it's already very promising. Thanks for the recipe ideas I'm trying Irish stout next and Mexican cerveza also have a pilsner to try. Can't wait for the end products!

I'm pretty new to brewing so after some stout recipes Does anybody have any idea what a coopers stout kit with beer enhancer 3 and 50g dark spray malt would be like?
