A week? I have been leaving mine in the secondary for 4 weeks, lol. Hmm, wonder if there are really many extra benefits with racking for so long.. I am doing different types of beers though, so I dunno if that makes a difference.

I had the same thing happen with a couple of my batches, just went by the gravity readings like others have said.

How long do you plan to rack it for, ODDBALL?

Tried the lager again today... that flavour that was in it before and was also in the LCPA has dissapeared! I think it's the 'greeness'. Can't say the lager tastes too good though, only using 1kg of dextrose and sugar carbonation drops as well as no hops for taste has left a pretty crap...

Jazman, ta! :) Gough, thanks for that mate, might give that a try next week!

Why's that, Jazman? I am very new, so still know very little, especially about hops... I'm going on what the guy in my LHBS has told me...

I see, thanks for the replies guys! They are greatly appreciated. I think that the temperature possibly could have been a bit too high during fermentation since I got the same taste in my lager, only stronger (and it was hotter when we put the Lager down)... so I'll give it another few weeks...

Hey guys, new to home brewing... I have started off with a Brewcraft Dutch Lager and followed it up with a couple of batches of Little Creatues Pale Ale. Recipie went like this: Kit: Morgans Stockman Draught Sugar: 1.5kg morgans unhopped pale malt extract Yeast: 10g sfale us-5b brewing yeast...
