Maturing Coopers beers

This isn't exactly a homebrew question but I figured it's the best place to ask it. Has anyone ever bothered maturing Coopers beers in the bottle? If yes, for how long, and did they get better with age?

masman,
I've never made this recipe, it's just in a brewing book I've got ('Brewing Crafts' by Mike Rodgers-Wilson). Wouldn't have a clue what it's like.

Reschs DA
Black Rock Pilsner Blonde kit
Brewcraft #15 Brew Booster
Safale yeast
22L

Good luck.

GB query - cream of tartar?

Hi all,

I was thinking of putting down a ginger beer and already have what appears to be a good recipe from a Liquorcraft link posted elsewhere on this site. But I've been Googling GB recipes as well and it seems like a lot of them call for about 1stp of cream of tartar (not in the Liquorcraft ...
