V excessive punishment imo. Back to medieval times? Obviously if he was making beer and wine for personal consumption he should have left it at home and consume there with less chance of getting caught. Otherside of the argument is you go somewhere like that to work and lets face it, its for...

wow. This is finished already. Down to 1.013 in 3 days. Expected fg was 1.014. Will of course leave it for another while before packaging.

Anyone have much experience with this yeast. Have it going in about 18hrs at this point and its still going at this pace now (36hrs after pitch). Not worried about it. From what i read about it, it has a short lag, vigorous ferment for 2-3 days then a slow tail off. Currently at 20 deg and will...

How did you go with these Nick?

Mines still v much a work in progress and very similar to qldkevs. If i ever bought i house id be able to set up a skid and hard pipe it possibly. General idea though

I go with the pulley system. If you have something to hold a pulley wheel its really simple. Cheap set at Bunnings Seems like a lot of effort for maybe not a whole lot of extra wort. Happy to be proven wrong but the extra compression is probably yielding returns in cup fulls not liters.

Tasted very sour. No buttery tastes. Colour was fine but the smell was even sour. Wort tasted fine. Was being lasy and didn't make a starter. Yeast was past the use by date so probably didn't give it much of a chance. Had been chilled for 2 weeks

Sample tube is around 100ml id think. Clumps would have averaged to golf ball sizes (some bigger some smaller). Tasted very sour not in a good way. As soon as id tasted it i knew it was gone bad. Tasted from sample before opening up.

Just came back from overseas and found this in the fermentor Not 100% sure but think it was Lactobacillus . Its not hops (wasnt dry hopped) and fully fermented out.

No pm received here either.

yeah but even if i brewed today i wouldn't get it into the fermenter for a few more weeks + doesn't it need around 6 months to mellow out?
