I have a can of Coopers APA which I was going to mix with a Coopers Real Ale to make the Vintage Ale from the Coopers website. I've decided instead to make each separately with the next up being the APA. Ideally, I want an ABV around 4% or even as low as 3.7% as most of my homebrews thus far...

I've been wondering how to brew a Coopers Real Ale and an APA I have recently and stumbled upon this recipe which utilises both on the the Coopers website: http://www.coopers.com.au/#/diy-beer/beer-recipes/strong/detail/extra-strong-vintage-ale/ Intention will be to bottle it and leave it a...

Bone question perhaps, but: If I take a kit of malt extract (ie Coopers) with an EBC value of (for talking sake) 530 and mix it with a can of Amber LME which has an EBC of 340, what is the eventual EBC rating? Or is there no way to calculate it until the brew has been made?

Help please!! :pray: Got a new King Keg Top-tap a couple of months ago and kegged a Razorback IPA. Did the usual 2 wks in the warm followed by several in the cold. Flat. Reprimed and repeated. Still flat. Fired a few co2 bulbs into it and drank anyway, although I was lucky if I got 2 pints...

Got three Coopers kits. Toiling over which I should do first. Help me choose please!! Open to any suggestions as to hop additions or even some simple malt steeping that I could do. Aim is to keg in the hope that I've cured the source of my previously leaky KK. Recent kits since starting out...

Looking to dry hop a Coopers Real Ale kit with Brewers Gold and Galaxy hops as they are used in a local craft brewers signature ale which I quite liked. Trouble is, I haven't the first idea in what quantities! Has anyone combined these two (which I've never brewed with before) and thus able to...

Had a Festival Razorback IPA in my KK Toptap for over 6 weeks. After leaving it to carb up and clear over a 4 week period (the first time I ever used the KK), I was not surprised to find that it had not been holding pressure. Reprimed, gave it a stir and squirted a bit of CO2 in. Went away for...

Bought a brand new KK top tap a month ago from my LHBS and fitted it with a Brewgas sparkler tap. Lubed the threads of both the tap and the cap, heavily lubing the o ring as well, before fitting both hand tight and then gave the cap the slightest of extra turns with a cap spanner - enough to...

As I'm still a bit new to all this (7th kit in the FV now) and so not up to speed on a lot of the kit that's in general use. To that end, can someone give me a billy basic guide to the Brew Fridges that I keep hearing about please? From what I gather, a small fridge (large enough to take a...

Got my Cooper's Pilsner on the go and has been in the FV for 6 days now, sat in our (unheated) Utility Room at around 14-15C. I'm thinking of moving it into the garage for the next 3 weeks but that will cause the temp to drop possibly into single figures in the current weather conditions. I...

Have a 500g bag of this bought on a whim whilst getting some other bits and pieces from LHBS and now struggling to fathom what the hops flavours are in this - Any ideas?

I've done the lager that seems to come as standard with their kits and found it to be a disappointment (the one with the ale yeast) and I've now started into my batch of their European Lager which is much more to my liking. I have a Woodfordes Admiral's Reserve waiting to get bottled later this...

Did my first two can kit on Fri night after having done a couple of Coopers Lager kits previously. Made a couple of schoolboy mistakes: (1) - I used a little more boiling water initially than I did on previous brews, making it a bit warmer than I'd have wanted and (2) - topped up with bottled...

Gents, I'm Gav, I'm new to homebrewing and have been lurking on this and other for a for a few months since I took up this incredible tax avoiding hobby! Residing in Northern Ireland, I've done a Coopers Lager (rubbish), a Coopers European Lager (swapped this Coopers recommended Brew Enhancer...
