Anyone tried any of those?

KAM is the brand, they do an assortment of fruit flavored beers, althou i only know of strawberry and lemon for sure. This is actually what 1st got me interested in the idea of mixing fruit juice in secondary.

regardless of that thou, the lemon is rather sickly looking ...

I have been thinking of this for a while, i did a search and many people had gone on about putting fruit into beer but never just fruit juice.

I have been thinking of doing a batch with say 3l of Golden Circle Mango Nectar. Its 35% mango puree and is really goopy. Mostly i was gonna use it cause ...

Gday, i did a kit of Coopers Bavarian Lager, with the Coopers BE2 and an extra 500gram of dextrose. I used a genuine saflager yeast and had it in primary for 2 weeks at temps ranging between 12 and 14 degrees.

gravity was 1040 when it started but now it is only down to 1020. Its been on that for a ...

I am going a Cooper's Bavarian Lager in a temp control fridge at 13degress.

I am using a genuine saflager yeast, not the one in the kit (which i have kept).

I used a 1kg bag of Coopers BE1 as instructed, and an extra 500gm of dextrose.

The OG was 1040, it is currently 1020, i expect it to drop ...

its currently at 36degree (just mixed in hot stuff with cold stuff, the temp will go down, but would safale survive if i put it in now?

gday, i just started making a batch of Morgans Australian Draught but i can't find the yeast that came with it.

I have a packet of SafAle yeast and a packet of brigalows yeast that came with a there lager.

I expect to be able to keep this brew at about 25 degrees.

Which one should i use?

1st con i can think of is that moving it anywhere regardless of into the sun or into another room will stir up sediment, i find 23kg easy enough to pick up and move around but its not the smoothest motion.

2nd, make sure you pull airlock out 1st, with a batch of lemonade i made recently, i moved ...

Gday, i am gonna have another crack at making lemonade (just made from lemons), last time i did it it was either really sour or had gone off, either way i turfed it.

Questions i have thou are

A) In a 23l mix, what percentage of alcohol will 1kg dextrose produce.

B) Will different yeasts get a ...

actually going back and checking it again it appears to be under considerably less pressure than the others.

Could not priming it account for this? In terms of it settling so quickly? i kind of thought that pale ale was supposed to be permanently cloudy.

I bottled a batch of coopers pale ale yesterday arvo, and found that two of the bottles were dented. I left those two out on the bench and now one of them has half settled and gone clear . It is possible that one and not the other caught some early morning sun, thou i'm not sure because i am rarely ...

you can't really see the actual crease itself but you can see where it is from the distorted/reflected image

they were brand new, they wern't buckled from hotwater

do you think if i sent a letter to coopers i would get some freebies?

I picked up two box of Coopers PET bottles today, and two of them were dented/buckled. Is this liable to make them explode?

I have access to an industrial juicer, (i dont know if it is really industrial, but it devours whole apples in seconds).

I notice that the Brewcraft recipe http://www.liquorcraft.com.au/wa.asp?idWebPage=13636&idDetails=105 wants a hell of a lot of lemons (12~24).

If i were to juice those lemons ...

Not really, i don't have a basement or anything, althou i do live in an oldschool brick house, so it doesn't get nearly as hot inside as it is out.

Anyhow, i figure why fight nature...

sorry guys, i was in a bit of a rush when i wrote that, i did indeed mean 25~30.

Gday, i'm looking for an opinion on the best beer to brew and best yeasts to use during summer in brisbane where max temp flux's between 25 and 20 degrees?

sweet, should have mentioned, i also picked it up off the floor and put it on a table, i was hardly juggling it, but just moving it prolly would have made a difference as well.

So the fact that i didn't dissolve my finings thou before putting it in, do you think they will actually work do what they ...

Gday, my brew hadn't bubbled through the airlock for 2 days so i put the finings in (brigalow).

Then when i put the fermenter lid back on it has started bubbling again (fairly vigorously), which makes me think it just wasn't sealed properly.

I'v heard the finings can pretty much strip out all the ...

I have not been back to that HB store because I have found them to be overpriced, so I haven't checked the tins out.

They prolly just seem over priced because you are comparing them to the supermarket and the discount store.

I'v found that with the huge range of different kits you can get at a ...

GDay, on saturday afternoon (4~5pm) I set up my fermenter with a kit of Coopers Cerveza with the recommended Brew Enhancer 2, and the supplied yeast.

On sunday afternoon it was bubbling every 2seconds, by monday morning (8am) it was every 20seconds, monday night (11pm) every minute and now, tueday ...
