Coopers have changed the sweetener to sucralose, just tasted a bit while bottling and it's as gingerry as before but the sweetener is way nicer, so 3 weeks to carb up as directed and then into conditioning, i'd guess it wont need aslong as with the old sweeteners (they really took some time to...

from Coopers instructions: "in addition to 1.5kg Coopers Light Extract, the Sparkling Ale recipe requires 500g Light Dry Malt & 300g Dextrose for optimum results" the coopers website and forum are well worth a read too anyway i hope you have a good idea of where you stand with this kit in...

sorry but the intructions do not state that at all, no offense but re-read them carefully or i can type them out here for you it is intended the way i described above, the instructions say so too, with respect i stand by my post :) looks like you added all 3 quite correctly

having left out the 500g light DME your beer will be slightly less alcoholic, slightly less body and maybe a little less malty brew at ~19c if possible it's going to be lovely and not at all far off the intended end product

Coopers Sparkling Ale from the brewmaster selection is designed to be brewed with a 1.5kg can of light Liquid Malt Extract, plus 500g of Light Dry Malt, plus 300g of Dextrose for optimum results the yeast sachet supplied contains lager yeast and ale yeast these ingredients and yeasts all...

that kit comes with a lager yeast, so if not fermented at/below 12c or so it may well come out slightly different to the makers intention :) enjoy it anyway though eh? :)

try a coopers australian (original series) lager, it comes with an ale yeast so no ferment temp worries. i'd say always pour bottled homebrew, and do so carefully aswell, condition properly and chill to make the yeast (sediment i should say..), less likely to swim out while you pour, or you...

" is it going to kill me or just make me fart ? " both? one grand exit?

anybody else run out of stout then drink something else while trawling the forums for stout posts? @ Archtronics, it's also a firm favourite of mine, my brew isn't too different from yours and i completely agree with your review, although i brew it to 20l it is still indeed an easy drinker...

Alan that would be very greatly appreciated , :D most gracious

some interesting and encouraging stuff there! not just for the OP i love the coopers stout too, i dont think i would like that much bitterness but i'd love to try one of someone else's 2can stout so i could be sure, i've been told before it's way too bitter, i'm intrigued now though, only one...

going out on a limb here but, if it were me and i were worried about undrinkable bitterness (after all i could be all wrong about using 2 kit cans of stout in 23l being too bitter), i would no splash siphon it off into 2 new vessels, then siphon into each tepid bottled or preboiled water up to...

actually, assuming cocoa is non fermentable, and assuming a total of 23 litres, you have probably an OG 1.085 and an FG of potentially 1.019, meaning an ABV of ~9.5 % it will have a lot of body, and will be seriously bitter if you did indeed use 2 stout kit cans as opposed to one kit and one...

as Shayler said they instructions are under the lid, if not then i can email you a .pdf of them read them over a few times to be clear about water amounts

won't it be massively bitter with 2 kit cans of stout? i mean the kit can plus a can of extract yes, but 2 cans of hopped extract in i assume 23 litres or less, i always thought that was a no-go due to the double bitterness..? anyway i'm glad it's fermenting, i'm sure it will make real beer...

good luck with yer JB lager and yer budget keg, glad someone's up to date, or soon to be my schedule went to **** with a certain companys lack of stock, i ended up getting a youngs 6 bottle wine kit from wilkos and some demijohns, it all just seems so alien, i mean, wine? anyway a lack of beer...

when i collect oldies from people (usually with a nice spot of mould in the bottom), i fill them and soak them in a big plastic box with water with 5-10% bleach for 12 hours or so , then use a bluntish flat blade knife to scrape them off and a green scratchy washing up pad to get the last of the...

could be useful if needed for some sad reason, im sure it would work fine, I made cold fizzy milk when i was a little'un , really odd and wrong
