I have bought this kit and it says that it should be used with 1. 5 Kg of coopers light malt extract. I have bag (500 gr) of Spry malt light. I was wandering if I could uses this plus 1 kg of sugar instead of what coopers recommends. The chap at my local home brew shop thinks so but I wanted a...

Well said, thanks again

Thanks a lot for your advice. The reason is, ill be meeting with some people soon and I want to bring some of my home brew. I thought plastic bottles look a bit tacky. But if you guys say that I'll be risking the beer I won't do it. Thanks again

I have some beer conditioning in plastic bottles Diabolo kit, Belgium beer). I was wandering if I could transfer the beer to glass bottles without having any bad effect on the beer. And what would be the best way to do this? Thanks

BIGJIM72, Thank you for the advice. I will check again on Monday happy Easter :cheers:

I am making this kit at the moment. it looks quite pale to me and it tastes nice (very hopy). I have a question though. It has been in the FV for 7 days (the instruction recommend 4-6) at a constant temperature of 20c. From day five the gravity is 1016 and it hasn't moved since then. this give...

I had the same experience yesterday when I cap my beer. but I though It should be fine the caps come in a packet and they shouldn't be contaminated. I think you and I will be fine :cheers:

Thank you. I did not want to say anything because I am new in the forum and I don't want to upset anyone. I understands thinks better but it is only the beginning and I will ask more questions in the near future. By the way I have bottled my ceverza in bottles following your recommendations and...

How long does the beer last once you start the keg?

I am I bit confused, I thought you supposed to add 8g of sugar per litre for this beer. so if you have around 20 litres it will be around 160g?

What about experimenting with brown sugar an honey? anyone has tried these?

By the way you talk about batch priming, how would I do that? Is this easier?

I have sugar cubes for consistency. each one 4 grams. Regarding the 33cl bottles those are the ones I have a long with the pint ones so I will use them. That was my concern

Thanks a lot. I have been advised against using coopers drops and I will use sugar cubes (4g each). That's why I was asking if the same amount of sugar would be appropriate for different quantities

So I'm ready to bottle my Mexican cerveza. I will be using different bottles sizes. for half pint I will use 4g of sugar as recommended on the instructions. could I use the same amount for 33cl bottles to carbonate? I am afraid that the bottle caps pop off during the process. Thank you
