I was wondering, too .. and they mention some forum ( without naming any, though ). Just curious if it could be this one.

Re: SPAM TOPICS - BOOBS, ANAL, etc


ZERO views is the only way of discouraging these cretins.

No it doesn't. They are done by spambots (programs), not by people. They don't care whether anyone looks at them or not.

I believe the number of views are monitored by the software and then relayed back so they can determine where they ...

Jet powered beer cooler

They ain't real people - they are bots aka soulless scripts who are designed to post spam en masse on unprotected forums. The only way to get rid of them is to improve your forum protection ( so that bots can not register ). A couple worth looking at for phpBB might be CrackerTracker Professional G5 ...

Actually, that was much appreciated. I do not have a problem with reading a manual .. or two :) I will stick to carbonation drops for now. I did bottle mine the other day - did not expect it to ...

The Australian Lager is more the style of beer than whats in the kit. Most people that homebrew cannot brew down to 9-12*C which is the temperature you would use to obtain the crisp/dryer taste with less esters.
Are you saying if I put Coopers kit brew in my garage with temperature at the moment ...

drsmurto , I think he is after "fermenting alcoholic drinks" aka fizzy crap ( self-carbonating, in fact so cocktails are no go ). I believe anything based on real vodka ( diluted with flavour added ) will hardly cost less than premixed ( you might as well be buying 80% ethanol from Dan Murphy's ...

Could one go half/half and try both ways with the same brew ? Bottle half of it with carbonation drops ( or method 1 ) and do the rest the other way ( method 2, whatever it is ) .. this way you have something to compare later on, based on exactly the same brew with method being pretty much the only ...

Thanks, that helps. I know airlock activity is a bad indicator but thought this rule worked kinda one way only - if it stops it does not mean it is over ( hence take a reading ) but that's about it. I thought it should definitely subside in the end. Given the rate it is currently going at if I ...

Hey thanks for upping this thread. I am doing my very first brew - got Coopers kit as a present - and basically am wondering about leaving leaving the brew in the fermenter for longer than "4-7 days" as per instructions from the kit.

The thing is - so far the airlock has not stopped bubbling, and ...
