To say I am upset with Brewmart is am understatement . I tried ordering a couple of weeks ago and after a few days of radio silence called to say they didnt have some things (one being starsan) and if I wanted to continue with the order. I said no my order was primarily for star san and then some goodies to fill the box. So I waited a couple of weeks then put an order in again. Again radio silence and then just an Austpost tracking thing so thought it was all sweet. Again no starsan or a hop steeper. Talking to someone at work who also has to order homebrew supplies said this isnt new , they just sell what they have an not try to upsell or change the order. Oh well back to the drawing board for finding supplies lol https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1kg-Oxyper-Sodium-percarbonate-Beer-keg-and-line-heavy-duty-cleaner/322601319339?hash=item4b1c897bab:g:b-cAAOSwhfxZb4zd I use something similar to this, 2 and a half tablespoons in the full droid for 90 mins, empty and go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries it’s just that the Star San brand is well know and distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Ordered and hopefully here by Wednesday . So I will be bottling this one on Friday and hopefully have another brew straight in 🙂 . I am thinking the coopers pale since I have the hops for it now 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brewprint Coopers Pale Ale doesn’t call for hops so what are you going to add? (adding hops is good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First go of Dry hopping 🙂 If you like strong hop flavour then fine, but imo a total of 60g hops is going to over power the base brew. I’d suggest 15g of each. For your first dry hop I’d start less than more. At least if you follow my advice and it’s not enough then at least you have someone to blame.😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Good idea , i would rather be conservative and add extra next time ( plus my hops last me twice as long haha) . The hop sock i got is massive though lol . Might be getting cut down . Are the hop socks reusable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie knot one end, hops in and tie end. When finished undo both end for easy cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinsed and bottled . There was a bit of foam coming out when bottling but i wasnt overly concerned , just thought it was worth the ask.. had to waste a bit though couldnt work out how to get such a small amount in a spray bottle so made 5litres and rinsed all my bottles instead and some in the droid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Don’t forget it is reusable. I check using these cheap, free postage litmus strips - under 3 and all’s good (colour match) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F152565301233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
