Excellent, just be mindful of fermenting temperatures. You have to keep them as constant as possible.

I will will only start brewing again in May, when I can control the temperature by means of a water bath and aquarium thermometer. I only brew two different styles, a Blonde Ale and Dark IPA.

My first batch did not turn out great at all... was a Lager that came with the Coopers kit... but after tasting and reading up a bit I suspect that the yeast/sugar might have been expired/old so will try a new batch sometime this month again. Hou duimvas dat die een beter is asb!!

Yes, if all your equipment is not sterilised the yeast will not do its thing, to do a lager you need lower temperatures and ale a bit higher. And it is very important to control the the wort when you boil it, you don't want it to boil over!

I see they use an old fridge or freezer to help control the temperature.

Good Luck :thumbup:
