[img']surprised[/img] Hey Lusty, they'er windmills, okay. I'm not surprised, Coopers are on a winner with this kit! *** WARNING CHEAP SHOT IMMINENT!! *** I've been saving this one up... Maybe Coopers were low on dented cans! Sorry Coopers, you earned that one yourself! Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuznut Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Geez... That's about 4 or 5 months in a row now that they've sold out within a day or two. I've missed out each time because I've been waiting for pay day before I order them. Are Coopers stocking less recipe packs nowadays? Or is it just that more people are buying them? I don't understand why Coopers don't stock up on more of them when they've still got about another 29 days before the next release? Unless the ROTM packs are purely a promotional thing that Coopers only break even on, it seems like it'd be a smart business model to try and get more in to fill back orders.

PB2 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 .....Are Coopers stocking less recipe packs nowadays? Or is it just that more people are buying them?..... As we roll along' date=' ROTM packs are becoming more popular and we have been increasing the numbers in response to demand. Yes, we've had a few fast sell-outs of late. However, unlike normal retailing, predicting the popularity of a "one off product" is a "Dark Art". [img']ninja[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yes' date=' we've had a few fast sell-outs of late. However, unlike normal retailing, predicting the popularity of a "one off product" is a "Dark Art". [img']ninja[/img] G'day PB2, may I suggest throwing a dart over your left shoulder at a spinning chocolate wheel with possible number of ROTM options and what it hit is the number of packs? We know what ever number is chosen either some of the punters or the provider will not be happy. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I guess you could always go and buy the ingredients separately to brew it; it's a pretty simple recipe and most LHBS's would have all the ingredients, although that would be more expensive. Might put it on the list for "quick keg fillers when I have no time for an AG batch" along with the Bootmaker tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzacpaul Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Damn would of given this a go for sure, may have to buy them individually me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josho1525228560 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 When does the rotm get released early or middle of the month thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payno Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bought all the ingredients for the Porter ROTM at my LHBS and it all came to $50 despite the higher price they charge - and I have 200gms of Choc malt leftover. Not having enough supply of stock for more than a day or so when most of the contained items are sold individually and exported all over Australia, is not a great argument if you ask me. But then Im lucky enough o have several LHBS that I can choose from - feel more for the brewers reliant on these opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradgc Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hey guys, Just wondering when the recipe of the month changes to a new one? Every time that I want to order one, it seems to be sold out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie49 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi bradg, It seems to vary quite a bit, but normally the second week of the month. Best to subscribe to the newsletter and you should get a newsletter the same day the ROTM is announced. I use the word should, as this hasn't always worked. The only sure fire way not to miss it is to go on the forum every day and look in the top right-hand corner, IMHO. Cookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigantor Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Bradgc, The ingredients for the Devils Brew Porter should all be available at your local home brew store anyway. Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo 1525229558 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Looking forward to the new ROTM, Hop Slam USA. Is it Nottingham or US-05 yeast? Recipe says Nottingham but instructions say US-05. Cheers, Dingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve The Novice Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah I was wondering that too, about the yeast. The picture shows US-05 too. I'd have thought US-05 would have worked better or even BRY-97 if they wanted to supply Danstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickc1525229722 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The recipe says to use 2 yeasts. The one supplied (?) and the one under the can(?). regards mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve The Novice Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The recipe says to use 2 yeasts. The one supplied (?) and the one under the can(?). regards mick That's for the UK Hop Slam. This is the US one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopers DIY Beer Team Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Looking forward to the new ROTM' date=' Hop Slam USA. Is it Nottingham or US-05 yeast? Recipe says Nottingham but instructions say US-05. Cheers, Dingo. [/quote'] Seems all those hops in Hop Slam IPA (USA) made us a little dizzy... Good pick up Dingo & Steve The Novice, Hop Slam IPA (USA) contains 11.5g Safale US-05 Dry Yeast (recipe & instructions have been updated). As always get in quick for Hop Slam IPA (USA) ROTM and the Churchill's Bulldog Craft ROTM! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Probably wouldn't hurt to throw the kit yeast at it as well anyway really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo 1525229558 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Might just stick with the US-05. I'm tempted to throw some leftover Centennial or Cascade in for a short boil or dry hop too. Dingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuznut Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I finally managed to get a hold of one of the ROTM's (Hop Slam IPA) before it sold out. I haven't used the new Brew A IPA yet. For the people who have used it, what's been your thought's on it? Do you reckon it's got enough hop flavour that this recipe will be good with just the Bravo and Equinox dry hopped for aroma, as per the recipe? Or do you think it might be worth doing a short boil/steep of the hops in order to bring out some extra flavour as well as some aroma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Its a pretty decent drop, and the bitterness is also nice. I found it had tropical aroma and taste when it was fermenting and by the time it was ready to bottle, it had no aroma at all and a very mild hop flavour from cascade. I finished my last one a few days ago ( probably 12 weeks in a bottle the rest was kegged) and it went down nicely. It has a nice malt flavour to it as well. I have another one of these cans to use and I will add a small amount at flameout and a decent dry hop on the next brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 You would think the person doing the sales forecast for the Factory would have upped the forecast by now wouldn't you seeing as it stays in stock for days only.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
