iBooz2 Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Careful guys, and with all due respect, @Pale Man and @Hoppy81 please re-read the forums terms of use, in particular item i). I don't think this is the place for self promotion of a commercial nature. Influencing comes in many guises these days and most are pretty much aware of it's idiosyncrasies and on to it but some may not be as savvy. Just saying. Reminds me of the time the yeast guy had multiple dummy accounts bouncing questions and responses all in order to promote his yeast business. Lets keep this forum for what its meant for I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really @iBooz2 I think you are getting a bit carried away mate. Pale has mentioned about Gladfield being superior grain which I concur and I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of links shared with other websites mate, RDWHAHB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 @iBooz2 and @Hoppy81, I doubt @Pale Man intended anything by his post other than commenting about different grain suppliers. Gee, I guess there are "terms of use" but I could not easily find item i). I have referred to Coopers, Kegland, Keg King and others heaps. A member referencing a supplier's website is not the same as a supplier promoting their business. RDWHAHB. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I reckon, Paley's is friends with Hoppy so there is no problem I can see either, we have all posted photos & mentioned other brands from time to time. Otherwise, why would this be a topic heading. Beer Banter Talk about anything to do with commercial beer (not just Coopers); finding it, buying it, drinking it, cellaring it, etc. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few when i posted that ol sausage ( as I usually do ), and I know you mean well. I have no shame in putting some air in Hoppys tyres, I've seen him build his little family business from scratch, and quite often here there is opposition to Coopers extract cans, grains and stores, posted up with photos, without a bat of an eyelid. Strange you picked on this one post. Yes he sells and brews with Gladfield, his beers are testament to both his skills and his product, so no harm giving him a boost. He also sell Coopers extract cans, so I'm sure nobody would be upset with him having a little plug. The least Coopers? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I have got to know Hoppy as you now & as well as being a top bloke, a forum member, always ready to help people, he deserves a plug, I do it too - he deserves it. Only problem is he drinks too much 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Charlie Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Tried an AG BIAB on the crappy stove today, what a custerfluck 3kg Coopers pale malt 200g carapils 100g acidulated malt 600g sugar 15g Ella at 60 min 10g and 25g galaxy at 10 min with whirlfloc Hot cubed mashed in at 55º for a protein rest 10 minutes then 65º for 60 minutes. I then went to sparge the bag and realised I had melted a small hole in the bottom of the bag. Fortunately not too much grain in the wort so carry on. Boiled for 60 minutes, pot was full and she decided to boil over, wort and hops everywhere! That emergency contained, the 20L pot didn't lose much liquid, it was boiling ok just didn't evaporate much due to my old electric stove most likely. Oh well, hot cubed it. Wort all over floor, but got most of it. Topped up with more water in the cube. Expected gravity was 1.050, I got 1.040. I think she might be ok (hopefully). I will brew this with novalager and see if I can get an aussie lager type thing happening. I'm not sure why I complicate things, next time keep it simple stupid I think I actually may have fluked this one and it will turn out OK Edited March 16, 2023 by Cheap Charlie 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also sounds like you did your research and thinking before doing this brew. Sometimes though things do not go completely to plan. You will learn from it and do better next time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, and thanks to you and others on the forum for guidance. Yes, been reading a lot lately, starting to understand all the "science" behind it. The last 2 partial mashes turned out ok, well they could use improvement but they are drinkable. I really could use an all in one system, but I'm having fun cutting my teeth with the pot. I really think it's a valuable exercise. Next time will be a simple brew mashed at 65º only and aroma steep at 80º only. Despite the clean up today and a bit of frustration in 37º heat, I had some fun! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it chilled in the cube, just recalibrated my rapt pill and into the fridge at 12º with novalager - it tastes good too! The second partial I did is on tap now and tastes just as good as a all inn brewing FWK - so I reckon I can out do them easy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red devil 44 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 No All Grain this break, just threw a quick Mangrove Jacks brew down, interested to see how this one turns out. ‘Also used up the Coopers European Lager tin I got for nothing, turning it into a Heineken style clone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hot wort should kill anything introduced but to be sure I always use fresh boiled water to make up any cubing volume shortfall. And once sealed tip your cube over on its side so the hot wort gets up into the handle cavity etc. to help sanitation in those areas. If you already know all this, please ignore - cheers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltop hops Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Haven't brewed for a while. Quick keg filler FWK in my new 2007 fermenter straight out of the box! Hoping to AG next weekend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) @Hilltop hops that is a great brand I use a fair bit. I have a citra one in keg atm and a sabro one in fermenter. I might even bottle and slowly pick away at that one. I still have a Bearded Dragon APA and 2 different Lagers to throw together.

Shamus O'Sean Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Did another Hoegaarden Belgian Wit today. 2.0kg Coopers Pale Malt (I used this because I did not have any more Pilsner Malt, should be close enough) 1.7kg Coopers Wheat Malt 1.3kg Pilsner Malt 500g Rolled Wheat 250g Rice Hulls (No stuck mash and the sparge was effortless, for all the wheat in the malt bill) 21g East Kent Goldings - 50 minute boil 12 Saaz - 15 minute boil 7ml Lactic Acid in the mash water 25g Coriander Seed (crushed) - 5 minute boil 15g Bitter Orange Peel Powder - 5 minute boil 25g Coriander Seed (crushed) - "Dry Hop" 1 packet Lallemand Munich Classic Wheat Yeast Fermenting at 17°C for a few days. increase to 20°C for a few more days, then cold crash. Wort ended up very clear in the fermenter for a wheat beer. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Ah well here we go. 100% wheat beer. I'm only brewing to 11 litres in the fermenter as I'm BIAB this one in a 20 litre pot. Just incase things go pear shaped I don't waste too much wheat. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just made a batch with it and kegged it. I went at 22 see what happens the samples I have tried seem good so far. Might sneak one in tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive just brewed a traditional Hefe with the Lal ABBAYE ( 60% wheat, 40% barley ) and its really given me a sensational tasting wheat beer. That beautiful banana aroma and taste. I had a packet left so I thought see what it does with 100% wheat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
