    Hello all I've got 23 litres of Coopers Canadian Blonde thats been fermenting for about 6 days now. SG was 1.039 and is now down to 1.012. It normally bottoms out at 1.009 for me.

    Bottle cold or warm after cold crashing?

    Hello all I've just cold crashed an MJ Pils in my fridge and plan to bottle it over the next day few days. I'll prime in the bottle using carb drops. Should I bottle cold straight out the fridge or let it reach room temperature before bottling? I plan to use the same '2 Coopers carb drops...

    Blow-off setup ok?

    Hello all I've just moved from an FV in a tub of water with an aquarium heater to a fridge with a tube heater. I kicked off a brew yesterday but as there was not enough space above the FV in the fridge to accommodate the usual airlock I use, I read up and opted for a blow-off tube instead...

    Induction hob alternatives to Buffalo

    Hello all I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to the Buffalo 3kw induction hob. I'm looking to halve the all grain ingredients I have that yields 23 litres, so I get 2 x 11/12 litre brews. I guess I'll need maybe a 30 litre kettle? Any recommendations for a cheap hob? I've seen a Tefal...

    Table sugar equivalent of Coopers carb drops

    Hello all I can't seem to find a straight answer to this one so thought I'd come and ask the experts. 🙂 For my first ever brew I used a Coopers Canadian Blonde kit and primed with Coopers carb drops. I used a mixture of 1.5 drops and 2 drops per 500ml flip top bottle. I much preferred the...

    Low OG. What's wrong?

    Hello All 🙂 I've just kicked off my 2nd brew and have a rather low OG. It's a puzzling me. So, for my first ever effort I used a Coopers kit (Canadian Blonde), 1kg of extra light DME and the kit yeast. I screwed up and mixed everything in 2 litres of cold water, some of the DME clumped and my...

    Lager-like ale

    Hi I'm just starting off on the road to brewing my first beer. I'm not set up for lagering yet and I'm warned away from trying it as my first attempt. I'm told I must get used to brewing ales first and then I can work towards lagering with a fermenting fridge set up. Trouble is....I don't...
