How much yeast are you pitching? I've never used the Cooper's kits so I don't know how much yeast they supply but it's possible that there is not enough yeast leftover to prime the beer or it may be very slow.

Wow... I just joined today and I am also busy experimenting with Coopers at the moment. I am from South Africa but doing a stint in Sudan where it is a dry country, hence making my own beer. So far I have made the Lager and bottled some Draught an...

You might try doing a couple of bottles maybe add a coopers priming tab. I would just be concerned about over-carbonating and creating bottle bombs. Good luck.

its been 3 weeks and nothing . Tastes fine , and not too strong . Im just thinking with some of the 1.25 litre bottles it would be easy to at least try . however if you think it prudent to just sit a bit more i will . It isnt going anywhere !

How long have you let it sit and at what temperature? I'd be hesitant to try repriming right away until you are completely sure it isn't priming.

Food and beer

I had been thinking lately that every time i have a few beers and a decent feed its all over for the night . Also the tast , flavour of beer is affected by what food we eat . Do i just prepare for a difficult day , the next day , and not eat while drinking some exotic brew from hell , or do i just limit my intake while tasting .
i will consider this tonight , while i don a pinstripe suit and travell in a bus for 35 miles to a fancy Ball , and just sit and drink some IPA with friends while enjoyi… Continue
