Kicking off this year's thread. Link to last year's is here. What's in my fermenters is my Kaiju Krush clone. I split it into two 20L Fermenter King Juniors. Right now I am using the free CO2 from the ferment to purge a keg. The spunding valves on the fermenters are joined together via tubing and a T-piece. The outlet of the T has another length of tube with a gas disconnect fitted. The keg was filled to the brim with sanitiser and sealed up. The gas disconnect is then connected to the gas post on the keg. A beer disconnect with a length of tube is connected to the beer out post. The sanitiser is emptying into a blue cube behind the keg. I will reuse this sanitiser to repeat the same process multiple times.

Thought I would start a thread for those of us that have some brewing stuff that is surplus to requirements, want to see if other community members have something to give away, sell, swap etc. or in need of something to do with brewing, if so post it up here. A wanted – swap – sell – giveaway thread where we can post what we have to giveaway, to sell or to swap and also if we are looking for something we may need and we think another member can help. It will be a purely non-commercial thread so no spruiking of businesses or products here please. I will start if off. Picked up a big order the other day and was given a bag of various yeasts as a bonus most of which I normally use so all good there. Now I can use everything in the bag except for two sachets of Philly Sour yeast – expiry date 02-2022. Now I will probably never use these at any time soon as I am not into sours let alone by the pack/s date. Now these two are free to anyone that wants them – I can post free of charge just so they don’t go to waste. PM me if you can make use of these and they will be on there way.

Happy New Year fellow brewers. I have some questions about adding honey to beer. I am using the 23 litre Coopers DIY brewing kit with the Coopers DIY beers. I am looking to make my first brew using honey, when should I add the honey to the brew and any recommendations to how much honey for a 23 litre brew? I was thinking about adding 300 grams of honey at the beginning of the fermentation. I am looking to make a beer with a subtle honey taste. I like the Coppers Pale Ale kit with the Coopers BE2 pack. I have also experimented with the LDM to improve the head retention and overall mouth feel of my brews. I use 2 carb drops per 700 ml PET beer bottle for the final fermentation. Thanks for your help and suggestions

Hi all. I am a long time brewer who has come full circle from the worthy extract and k&k beginnings, to all grain BIAB and for now with various home and life challenges, I am back to the boosted extract based recipes. The covid lockdown period forced me to get back to my roots too. I have got to say, the library of Coopers can based DIY recipes is pretty awesome and yielded some decent results. And it brings me to wondering do any of the Hop Slam recipes stand out over the others? Do some hops, malts and Coopers can combinations perhaps suit each other better than others? Would love to get your thoughts Cheers

Hey fellow brewers. I have done three pressure fermented lagers over the past 2 - 3 months. I have got one more to do in this current run of pouring the wort onto the yeast cake of the previous brew. I pressure fermented all of the three brews at 15psi and 24-25°C using Lallemand Diamond Lager yeast. They were all finished fermenting within 2 -3 days. So excellent timing there. However, I still reverted to my old process of dropping the temperature by 1.5°C every 12 hours until I got to 1°C then I cold crashed for 5 - 7 days. All three beers have tasted great. I would like to speed up the temperature drop and cold crash phases. Therefore I want to ask: What's your favourite lager pressure fermenting process and why?
