Now I know why you are called the Beer God! If i were to do another batch obviously after this one when it finishes, did you say you can control the temperature by fermenting the brew in the fridge?? This could end being the coolest place in the house!!

Understanding the Cold crashing, I have a second fridge in the garage? Didn't know I could use this??? Please tell me more!!

Thanks for that will test and see....

My bottles are the plastic ones, what should the settings be in cold water? Sorry for the dumb questions....

Thanks, what do you mean by cold crash? And how much gelatin? Thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks Manticle for your advice, this is cooler compared to my garage where the first one was produced! :) The Larger was a miss-spell evidently but thanks for pointing that out, finding the right spot in the house during the Aussie heat is a job in itself, thinking about the sugar that first...

Well, My second brew which is a larger was mixed on the 26 November, and was moved to a cooler location were the temp rarely exceeds 25 deg. All was well, airlock was bubbling away nicely but since the 3 December bubbling had stopped and when tested with the hydrometer on the 4th and 6th...

Thanks Phil for the info...never thought this could be done but looks like it can! Very interesting indeed. Apologies for no replying sooner been a bit on busy side. The first batch is bottled and the second has been in for a week, I have moved the kit into the laundry which is considerably...

Thanks Phil, I do feel welcome, I did email Brigalow and they replied with the same filled level you and manticle mentioned so thanks for that, so I have marked it for future reference, glad wrap? what about the airlock?

Thanks for the info...yes it was quite warm today, and tomorrow? There is a storm brewing at the moment, not the sort of brew I was looking for, the brew is in the garage so I think I may have to move the next batch to a cooler spot...maybe the laundry? It got a bubble every 20 or so seconds...

Thanks Kitmaster, makes me feel a whole lot better and don't feel like I have asked a daft question.

Many thanks for your lightning response, I will do as you say, great advice! I should of filled the fermenter up firsly to get the correct level but I was way too quick off the mark, this I will do when this one is done and dusted! Paul

Yep it's, on it's way alright, finding myself checking it all of time for the just in case! Good luck with yours too!

Hi All, First post and first brew under way! A couple of questions if I may, I bought the Brigalow as a start up and introduction to HomeBrewing and my first brew is under way. I have followed all of the instructions so I hope, but.... Have I filled my Fermenter up too much? I mean there are...
