cheers!

Thanks. What do these things taste like? Its not going to harm it leaving it in the fermenter for a while after its finished fermenting is it?

Cheers I was thinking the same. If it has finished how long is too long to leave it in the fermenter do you think?

Hi guys, Just getting back into brewing after a few years break from it. I started a brew on saturday consisting of thomas coopers IPA, 1kg light malt, 15g nelson sauvon hops, 15g citra hops, and 15g galaxy hops. I just used the yeast that came with the IPA. The brew started around 27C and...

Cheers argon, I'll probably bottle sat or sun, i had a taste when doing the Sg reading and it tastes quite nice already

hey guys, i've managed to rearrange the bottom fridge and fit the fermenter in there so i can crash chill it. how long does everyone recommend leaving it in there? Will a day or to suffice? or longer? because I wouldn't mind bottling it on the W/E

cheers, i put the airlock back in after taking a sample for the hydrometer and she's bubbling away again. HA :lol:

checked the s.g. yesterday and today and they were 1011 and 1010 respectively so I'll check it again tomorrow but there is still a fair bit of bubble action on the top so I assume it still wants to ferment abit more. What is the method for crash chilling?

ok cheers guys, It's been fermenting for almost a week now so I might just try and let it sit for a week to let it all settle. It works out good because i'm pretty flat out this week and won't have much time to bottle. Thanks for your help, I'm sure I will be requesting it again sometime in...

what do you mean by rack the beer off? Sorry i'm quite new to brewing

Hey all, I was given a tip to add hop pellets straight to the fermenter before pitching the yeast to add a nice hop aroma. i wanted to spice up a india pale ale a bit and tried this with cascade hops. The airlock's stopped bubbling and SG is at about 1011. I'll take another reading...

I can keep it pretty constant at 18c in the cellar so no probs there. Does it still ferment out well at that low temp?

I can keep it pretty constant at 18c

that looks awesome. i've got a ESB American Pale ale beer pack that i was going to start brewing next week but now having second thoughts. This looks nice. Might have to give it a try. it'll be my first stray from K&K but why not be ambitious. Cheers.

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has a good recipe for an indian pale ale. i'mnew to brewing but love india pale ale's and would love to try and brew my own
