I had forgotten that i had put a batch down 5 months ago & have just realised it was still in the fermenter. Q Will the brew be affected in any way because of the length of the fermentation, the reading was 1000. It taste a little thin but I havent carbonated it yet.

G’day Mark,
Try using the BREW Cellar # 15 Ultra Blend with that Coopers dark ale. It will give you a nice creamy head.

I have a coopers dark ale kit and wondering which coopers malt extract to team it with (ie amber or dark) and also wonder if it would benefit from a brew enhancer suger blend or just dextrose?

Cheers

G’day Russ,
RE: Bottle Cleaning
If you use a product such as ‘Morgan’s Sanitize’…all you need to do is use the 30ml/1ltr mix and you are good to go…you don’t even need to rinse!

Hi Guru when sterilising the stubbies prior to bottling can you do it the day before or should it be done just before you bottle and allow them to drain slightly and pour immediately.

I have two brews on at the moment (now for 16days) and they have both started well with good bubble for four days and stopped at about 1018. One is a Morgans Blue Mountain with Liquid Lite Malt and the other your Golden Ale recipe. I have them in the garage and at the moment the temp is between 9-16 degrees. I have considered heating, bottleing, and add a new yeast?

G’day Terry,

Follow the instructions on your can and add the Body Blend #10 instead of your normal dextrose or sugar. So if you would normally put 1kg of dextrose in, put the Body Blend instead.

Brew cellar premium yeasts use by dates.
I cannot find / decode the use by on these yeasts,
e.g. a stamp on the back on an american ale yeast
reads :
003
5213
? should there be a seperate use by sticker on these yeasts ?
have used the American and English ale yeasts before,
with great success, however have a 12+ hour apparent lag phase with this one.
Any info greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Sol

G’day Sammy,

Follow this link to our recipe page – there is a Corona recipe listed here.

Also if you like a Mexican Cerveza style, try the Morgan’s Chairman’s Mex Cerv – with a hint of lime already in the can it is a really great brew.
