Smitdog88 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I would like to say hi to everyone on the forum, I have been reading for a couple of months now and am onto my 4th brew atm. 1: coopers draft kit with BE2. 2: brigalow apple cider (for SWMBO) I hope I got that right. 3: Irish red ale according to coopers recipes in the ale section 4: dr smurtos Golden Ale, kits n bits version - 1 can Coopers Lager 1 can Coopers Wheat Malt 250g crystal (caramalt, caramunich, carabohemian, light/medium english crystal) 20g Amarillo @ 15 and 0 (sometimes listed as 15g @ 10, 5 and dry hop, i prefer the former) US-05 Topped up to 20L (not 23L). I subbed the coopers wheat malt for just normal wheat malt extract from the brew shop. I am totally hooked, that kits n bits recipe totally feels like the gateway into many more possibilities. can't wait to taste it. I am already youtubing all grain stuff, and looking into mini biab. only thing is i wonder about the fermenter size. If I was to do a 10 to 15lt batch in my coopers 30lt fermenter. Will i have any issues? cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I don't see why there'd be any issues doing a small batch in a 'normal' size fermenter, I've done it once without issue myself (11/12 litre batch) but you know.. one guy doing it one time with no problems doesn't mean a hell of a lot . Anyway, sounds like you're really getting into it which is awesome, you'll only improve on your beers the more you go along and learn etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
