Do you do homebrew, and if so, how do you do it?

I put my first homebrew batch down on the 8th of October and I'm bottling it this coming weekend. It was a Canadian Blonde (Coopers) kit and I threw in 400gm of Tassie leatherwood honey!

hey guys

yeah i use to do it with my mates dad, man its was good no hangover or anything coz it had no preservatives.

man if you only put it in on the 8th of october i would be leaving it a lil longer as it still gets cold at night and this can make it take a lil longer to carbonate.

the trick was once it stops bubbling, give it another week and it will be awsome. also when u bottle it leave it for another 2 or 3 weeks before u drink it as to let it carbonate and seal in the bottle. easy as pie mate

what i use to do was get a good batch up. we had at one stage something like 40 cartons sittin in the cubby/brew house. always drink the oldest ones first .

was really good after i got a bit better at mixing the brew, first batch was a bit hoppy. but after about 20 or 30 brews u start knowin ur shit.

yeah hangovers are caused by dehydration but only the head ache, the sick in the guts and stuff is caused by preseveratives. turst me been drunk on home brew many times, u still know u been drinking the night before but its nothing like a hangover from 12 beers of production beer.

its good cozu feel a lil queezy but after some food and water ur tip top

homebrewing is the only way to go mum made the mistake of buying dad and i a coopers kit for chrissy and now we drink nothing else i run a heat pad and insulated box normally goes thru in a week ya gotta let it sit in the bottles at least a month otherwise its fairly green

im thinking keg system will be on this years chrissy list

  • 3 weeks later...

A few mates mates decided to do get one of those coopers homebrew kits from supavalue it was fun making it and couldn’t wait until it was ready to drink. The day finally came, what a let down. First of all checked the alcohol content, 0.002%, then time for the taste test, mmmm water lol. We are yet to do another batch, but for now the bottle shop looks good. Cant wait until exams are over :wave:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
