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

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:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
