Racked my brew on sunday at about 10.30am. Because i have been too friken busy i wont be able to bulk prime and bottle until tomor morn (friday). Will this matter? I read that it should be primed and bottled after 4 days in the second rig and friday will be the 5th day.

Cheers, Kippo.

Found this pretty nice looking keg system on the brewcraft site. Interested, only prob is no price tag was on it (funny that). Just wondering if anyone woud have ne idea as too how much a system like this one would cost.

Yeh coldies are pretty crap. Decided to pour ione into a glass one night and u would be surprised the difference in taste. Goodness knows how long the beer has been sitting in that dirty bottle for lol. Still not the best brew tho.

Couldnt wait! Had to get me racking gear. Just ended up buying another coopers micro kit and tubing from bunnings. Gives me everything i need and a spare of everything so i figured that works.

Yeh only ting i can think of is temps are too high. I had the same prob with my first batch (smell and taste were a little fruity), dropped the temps next time and had no troubles (then again that batch still hasnt cleared out after 6 months must be a bad one) lol.

Yeh certainly agree. Only done 4 brews but it has come out as me best

Yeh maybe i did pay to much. But hey i couldnt be fagged going to dan murphys just popped down to me local Safeway

Nothing wrong with Coopers mate. I did the Bitter last batch (was it original series bitter?). Found that it came out really dark, almost like a dark ale.

I love this beer! It would want to be good at almost 23bucks a 6pack. What do you think?

Nah havnt tried it. Havnt been able to get my hands on it.

Yep good stuff....Depending on whether or not i can make it to the HBS or not this brew may not be racked, but before i even think of pitching another batch all the racking gear will be acquired.

Cheers fellas, Kippo.

Patients is a virtue, waited for the eggy smell and then i knew it was going lol. Umm a while back i got this info off Jack Sparow on Racking:

Racking & CCing
* Ferment for 1 week
* Rack (transfer) beer to second vessel and leave at fermenation temp for 3 days
* Move vessel to fridge for 4-7 ...

Thanks fellas, that will definately help!

Nothing wrong with a beer wanker.....thanks Magooman i will give it a shot.

Love heineken! Anyone got a recipe?

k fellas. I know about the temps for different yeats and all and thought that the kit came with saflager yeats, but the instructions said on the kit that the yeast can ferment as low as 13degsC, so didnt want to drop it any lower. thanks for the advice!

Cheers, Kippo.

Gday fellas i'm back in action, had a bit of a break but can't keep me down from brewing!

Question: Started a batch of Cooper Bavarian Lager this morn at about 10am. Went to work, came home and at 9.30pm there was no sight of the Krausen ring forming. Not to sure what this means maybe my temp was ...

My third brew.....Coopers draught. Only used kit and kilo. But has a nice balance between fruit and a touch of bitterness to finish off. Easily my best, however i have only done 3.
