Sorry for the late response j1gsaw. My OG was 1058.

Yep, initial (standard) fermentation was over in a few weeks. The krausen dropped, the weather warmed up, the pellicle formed (just a fine white film and filmy bubbles). Two and a half months after pitching the yeast it was bottled. Really simple, bloody good!

Thanks Berazafi, the price is good but I was hoping to get around 5 kg initially for 1 brew. I may then be looking for a larger quantity if the results are good. Goossey

Hello fellow brewers, I am interested in scoring some Golden Promise. My usual supplier, G & G, don't stock it anymore. I have Googled the name but can't seem to find any retailers stocking it. So tell me, where can one score some GP? Goossey

I'm interested.

Thanks for the positive feedback fellas. Muga, I did consider the PVC pipe option after seeing your nice set up in an earlier post. I may get around to modifying it one day, but I am happy for the moment not to tamper with things. Bugwan, there is a hole in the back of the chest freezer and...
