Dogger,

We play a game over here called lawns bowls - I imagine it is very similar to Curling. You throw a big ball at a little ball and whoever gets closer wins. Drinking while playing is mandatory.

However. like already stated - Cricket goes for 5 days and is therfore the ultimate in spectator ...

I clean and rinse my bottles then put them in the oven at 120 degC for 10min to sanitise. Let them cool back down before filling them. I have never have a bottle go pop yet.

I think we may have over looked one very high contender - my local brew.

Need I say more.

True - the dextrose is a fermentable but, it would also be used to give the yeast something to get into quickly.

I have done one of these kits before (without the extra hops) and I must say the alcohol content gets up a bit. I personally think there is enough malt in the rest of the recipe and the ...

Adam,

Go with number 3 - Bring the temp back upto 20-22 degC and see if the yeast starts again.

Does little creatures have some type of dried citrus fruit peel in it to give it that flavour?

Dan, you get Coopers in Canada? Cool, I didn't realise their roots spread that deep.

When I use Coopers I always get some Saf yeast just incase - I have had a few duds too.

Thanks lads,

If the sugars are going through this further stage of breaking down and still producing CO2 - Will adding more sugar when I bottle cause the bottles to explode?

If not, how does adding more sugar stop this process?

Hi all,

I have recently brewed a Coopers Sparkling Ale, but was concerned about the length of time the fermentation went for. I was expecting it to take a little longer due to the fact it was mostly malt, but not as long as it did.

It took about 3 weeks before the bubbler even started. Even then ...
