My Australian lager partial has been in the primary fermenter for at least 3 months, I've been a little busy!! Do I bother racking and bottling or down the drain? The first 2 months at about 15 c and the past month at Sydney room temps? What a waste or what a brew? Thanks guys. Nath

Thanks Darren, These are the things that the retailer usually forgets to mention. What would you require to step up to all grain without buying a kit? I already have a couple of carbouys, 10 litre pot, and a woolworths strianer. I have a contact in the kichten business so it may be cheaper to...
