Finally got my hands on some....not bad! I probably couldnt drink it all night, but certainly a nice winter beer! I think the qty of pepperberry is near perfect - any more & it would be like drinking kava!!

I went to Dan's last night & they dont have it - mind you, that may have been just my local Dan's. Im gonna wander out to Purvis on Saturday so that should sort that problem out!

Anyone tried it yet? Im gonna see if Dan Murphy stock it yet on the way home right now! I think ill need to wander out to Squires Docklands also!

Comments....

You may just have a leak somewhere & the air is getting out through that instead. Is it showing any other signs?

I have done it & OG was 1060 and it FG of 1016 giving me about 6.4% - tastes great but cant have more than 1 if I wanna drive!

Thanks guys....the froth has died down & I expected the yeast to start its magic soon!

I just started a new brew with Thomas Coopers Brewmaster Wheat Kit, Coopers Wheat Malt Extract & approx 15gm of Tettnang hops 15 mins. Anyhow, I put the hops with the 2L of water into the fermenter then added both cans & started filling with water. The more water than I put in (stirring every 4 ...

OK, so im gonna put the lack of replies down as havent tasted it so ill explain my thoughts on it & hopefully that may give me a few recipe suggestions instead? Basically, it tastes like a Corona with the lemon already in it. I guess I could always search for a Corona recipe & add lemon juice ...

Dropped into the JS brewhouse at docklands before the footy on Sunday and had a pint of the Waterfront Wheat (as well as a couple of others!) Anyhow, for those that have tried it, does anyone have a recipe? I reckon it would be an awesome summer beer so I wanna get one going to I can test out the ...

Yeah, I poured half a glass first to clear the tap but it was my 1st reading. Ill see how the next reading goes!

Im almost ready to bottle mine & found a fair bit of sediment in my hydrometer reading this morning . Any suggestions on how to remove/minimise this when bottling?

I move them inside so they would be around 20 deg but at night when the heater is off the temp would drop on these colder nights. I use a heater in the fermenter to keep that at 20 deg, how can I keep them warm enough in the bottles for a few weeks?

Ok, 1st up im currently brewing brew #3 & I wanna try & get it better than brew #1! Yeah yeah, I realise brew #1 isnt great for most but the taste wasnt too bad but it was flat as a tack! Anyhow, with brew #1 I used Sucrose for priming & I gave the bottles a shake but found after 2 weeks the sugar ...

Obviously my little request was overlooked by all this talk about honey in beer....anyhoo....ive just popped together Wassa's Honey Porter last night (yeah, I know im trying to confuse things with my name!) and I was wondering what I should prime my bottles with when I get around to it?

Tooheys Extra Dry Platinum - Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting much, but this was beyond any beer I have ever tasted. Each sip (four sips total) was like putting your tongue on a 9V battery. Not exactly painful, but not pleasant. Had to piss in my own mouth to get the taste out.

Agreed ...

Im about to give Wassa's Honey Porter recipe a crack but with 600gm of Yellowbox Honey instead (as its on special at the moment!). Im still only a newbie (this will be my 3rd brew) so im still seeking perfection! (1st brew was a little flat & tad cidery but overall not too bad! 2nd has just gone ...

Thanks mate....I kinda figured it would just add more taste but I wanted to make sure - not that I was gonna throw it out anyhow!! haha

I was trying to keep it simple with my first brew...

-Coopers Pale Ale Kit
-500gm Coopers Brew Enhancer #1 (I know it recommends #2 on the kit, but the wife got ...

First up, Hi all, happy to join the forum & even happier to be a home brewer! :)

I just did my first brew and found I made a mistake. I am brewing the Coopers International Pale Ale and while following the instructions I missed 1. I filled the fermenter to 20L but didnt notice the next point saying ...
