I got some coriander seeds whole(masterfoods) from coles,

thanks boonie for nice response, i appreciate it.

I don't understand why people make fun of newbie brewers like myself,

and the only way i see is 2 ask technical questions without getting laughed at.

cheers boonie

can you use the yeast cake at the bottom of the fermenter in a new brew
the next time?

THanks to all those that answered me decently, and thanks to those

secondary fermentation,

G'day all, one of my mates dropped off 30 coke 2litre plastic bottles,
