I've moved country and sold my extract brewing kit, so I will go back to kit brews. I'm planning on getting one on Christmas and if all goes well I should start basic training for the armed forces in early February. Looking at timings, I'll have enough to bottle and condition for 2 weeks, but...

It's always good when you ace a brisket. I'm a low and slow brisket guy, but I think it's awesome your method works for you. It looked amazing

Is the sugar the only thing you put in that contains sugars? I would think 1060 as its only 5l

You can mix vinegar, brown sugar, salt and coriander as a base and leave it over night in the fridge. You can also just make sure the vinegar mixes with all the meat and spice and hang up straight away. A dehydrator will work.

I'm shooting a Warthog soon. So apart from saussage, I'll be smoking small bits. I love my little smoker. If I have mates over I have to cook boneless cuts due to size.

Looks great. Just bookmarked it. Will be scaling it down to fit into my brewpot.

We usually hang the meat during our dry winter months or google diy biltong maker. Basically a box with a light and a fan in it. I like my biltong to be in thick pieces so I can grab a large piece and slice it with my pocket knife while watching sport.

Was delicious mate. I pulled it off a bit early and had to put it back on but was very juicy. The flour formed a crust and kept the juices in. Sent from my C1905 using Home Brew mobile app

I got a mini Weber for Christmas and using it for the first time today. I bought a 1.5 kilo brisket and have coated it in a flour, salt, pepper and dried garlic mixture. The brisket just fits onto my little braai. I've taken some local chips that where from a red wine barrel and added a shot...

I boiled a Coopers Ale can with 1oz Centennial Hops and 2lbs LDME. Its a lot bitterer than expected due to the boiling, but after four weeks in the bottle its a fantastic drink.

Cooked or uncooked? A nice smoked piece of prime rib in a Porter could taste pretty good.

The recipe did say 23l, it was cold on brew day and I decided 19l will be a bit stronger.

Thanks for the input guys. I did stray a bit as I find kits like mixing juice in a sterile environment. Explains why my last IPA was pretty bitter. I will be doing some extract and partial grain in the next three weeks. Just waiting for ingredients and a bigger pot.

Today I brewed a Coopers Real Ale. 1 can Coopers Real Ale 250g Brewing Sugar 1KG Brew Enhancer 500g LDME 20g Centinneal Hops (10g for 30mins and 10g for 5mins) Topped up to 19l and added kit yeast. I suspect my hydrometer is out as my last two brews have readings of 1050. I had a...

Haha, Fantastic. Just a quickie (also couldnt resist) I bought Beer Enhancer 2 instead of 1. will it be terrible?

I've read the Sticky regarding Extract Brews and also searched the forum for tips etc, I've heard the yeast is not so great that comes with the kit. I have the kit and Brew Enhancer and Carb drops and no access to a brew shop to buy better yeast. Are there any household items that I can add...

Howzit, I'm Snowbeast From Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa. I inherited a Coopers kit from a mate and will hopefully have my first brew started this weekend. I look forward to learning and most importantly drinking beer :D Cheers
