I have used it once before, was advised it gives a bit of body to the brew, although I can't say I noticed too much difference.
Your local homebrew shop should stock it.

Re: Conditioning
Don't know whether it's practical or applicable for you, Anna, but I store mine under the house. Keeps relatively cool even on the hottest Melb days, and is not subject to dramatic changes in temp.

Re: Coopers Australian Pale Ale + Enhancement
Haven't yet found a local bottlo that stocks the Supershine.
Planner
He was saying it takes 12 months to brew a Supershine (8 months for Moonshine), he has pre-sold all of next year's Supershine, and 70% of the following year's - so if you want a Supershine, you need to place an order now for ...

Re: Coopers Australian Pale Ale + Enhancement
Couldn't agree more - like you, Tim, the APA was my 2nd ever brew, and after a few initial flat beers and advice from this forum, time was the solution and by the end of the batch it was magnificent. I regretted turfing the few that were flat, but now know better. I returned to the APA for my 8th ...

Re: Totally flat brew....
I'd give em another month at least, maybe two. looks like you did everything correctly so I reckon they just need time. I had a similar issue with my second ever brew (CPA), flat @ one month, but after two months they were pretty good and three months perfect. I regretted chucking the few that were ...

Re: Where to brew?
In time you will wonder how you drank mass made mega swill. : Wrighty
Couldn't agree more, and I'm a basic K&K brewer. Was a Boags Premium drinker but now I reckon it's got no body.
I use my dining room table as home for my fermenter (dining room is off the lounge room and not used much) don't ...

Re: After bottling..
I had the same questions myself after my second brew (CPA) was initially flat, and I wondered if storing them under the house (being too cool) was the problem. Turns out they needed time, and now three months after bottling they are pretty damn good - clear, plenty of head and drinking rings (is ...

To rinse or not to rinse
I have received conflicting advice from proprieters of HB shops regarding whether you need to rinse your equipment (K&K fermenter, bottles etc) after sanitising. Would it depend on the sanitiser you are using? My intial thought was not to rinse, as you may introduce some imperfections from tap water ...

Re: Recycling Dud Brews
CPA were bottled on 19 Jan, and I tried them sixteen to eighteen days later.
I tasted my first K&K (Coopers Lager that came with the kit) two weeks after bottling, and every one of them has been ok, great head. Putting the CPA under the house was the only variation from my first brew.

Recycling Dud Brews
I recall seeing a post on re-using dud (flat) brews - can somebody point me in the right direction for instructions?
My second ever brew (K&K - CPA, BE2 and English Ale yeast from HBS) lacks head retention, but tastes ok. Not a dirty glass issue, I have had the same result from four bottles with ...

Re: HEAD RETENTION + WATERY
First time poster, bottled my 3rd K&K (Coopers Irish Stout) should be ready next weekend.
I had a similar issue to JBTREP with my 2nd brew [Coopers PA with the BE2 and English Ale yeast from HBS]- result was mainly a lack of head retention rather than a watery taste.
Would variation in fermenter ...
