I recently purchased a 30 litre Burco boiler and want to fit a steel tap to it so that I can connect a reinforced uPVC tube to it so I can add mash water to the tun without mess and sparge directly from the boiler. The boiler will be my HLT. I am trying to work out which tap will fit and...

Hi there, I am considering this boiler to heat my sparge water. I was wondering if anyone can advise whether it would be possible to fit a tap to this which would take a syphon tube? And does anyone know from experience how reliable this model is at maintaining specific temperatures...

Hi there, I am planning to have a go at cloning a beer called Trade Winds by Cairngorm Brewery. I have found an All Grain recipe on line, but was wondering how this can be converted to extract? From googling, I understand that you should use approx 3/4 as much extract as grain, but, looking at...

Hi there, Ive had a look at the 'How To Guide' but haven't really found the information I am after. I am planning to dry hop a brew in the next few days and was wondering what the best method for this might be. The local home brew shop suggested sprinkling them on top after a few days, but...

Hi there, I posted a month or two ago saying that a beer I had made, a coopers IPA with a safale US-05 yeast had stopped fermenting at 1020. I tried stirring it and adding more yeast, but it didn't budge from 1020. I recently put on another brew, a coopers wheat beer with safale s-04 yeast...

I have a coopers wheat beer kit to make, have 1kg of wheat spray malt to use with it, and was just wondering if anyone knows how to make this into a strawberry wheat beer? is it possible to do this and get a good result? thanks

I started a coopers IPA with an American sb05 yeast 7 days ago. I dry hopped it after 5 days and checked the hydrometer reading at the same time which I was surprised was still at 1020 (original gravity was 1040 and normally I find it has reached 1010 by around this time, so I gave it a stir in...

Just in the middle of making an IPA and am boiling hops to add to the kit. I then plan to dry hop towards the end of fermentation. Was just wondering the best way to store these hops until then? there is also the other half of the packet which i will need to store until another brew. Thanks.

I brewed this beer in September in preparation for Christmas but unfortunately it doesnt seem to be at its best yet. at first it tasted quite mild for a home brew and was flat but very drinkable, it has since developed more of a 'home brew flavour' but is still flat after a good 3 months in the...

Hello, I am a big fan of this beer and was wondering if anyone knows of it and can suggest a beer kit or recipe that would emulate it? Thanks Mike

Hello, I wonder if any of you can help. I am quite new to brewing, and my latest batch never seems to have really taken off during the fermentation. It frothed up within the first 24 hours and has totally died away since. It still tastes a bit sweet and has been fermenting for 4 days. There...
