Thanks for that. I've picked some up and will give it a go.

I just bought some grain, hops and malt online from CraftBrewer and am very happy with the freshness and prompt delivery so I thought I'd give them a plug while I'm on here.

I have just started experimenting with specialty grains and was thinking of adding some Carafa Special T2 to this recipe and if so how much? I would be interested to hear some opinions. I also have some crystal (amber I think, I haven't trid it yet) and some Carapils.

Would this recipe need some ...

I find the Coopers kit ale yeasts will still work effectively down to 15/16 degrees. A recent Canadian Blonde can never went over 16 and came out quite nicely and that was with a can of LLME and 500g of dex. I have a Coopers European in the fermentor now and is bubbling away nicely at 9 degrees in ...

During summer I usually put the fermentor in the laundry sink and top up the sink with water. At 23l the wort lines up perfectly with the sink water. It has been in the mid 30's here in Canberra (about 26C in the laundry though) all week but have managed to keep the wort temp down to around 21C. For ...

I found it to be fairly straight forward except straining the hot liquid through a stocking was, well, hot. I may cool the liquid next time as ...

I would give it a bit more time. I have had sucess with one long neck of pale ale but it tool about two days before it formed a krausen. I usually farm the yeast from the trub a few times after a succesful brew and I find this works well. I just swirl up the trub with some water, pour it into a 2 ...

I think the Coopers Bavarian uses S-189, but I could be mistaken. I also think it sounds like some hop residue on top (if some were added)
