i did my first ginger beer with this method about 3 weeks ago, worked great and i was able to smell the fermenting process alot better than sniffing at the airlock.

this had tempted me to try another cider now, wasn't a real fan until recently. will give this a go for sure.

yeah, i have made a smashing toucan using 2 cans of homebrand lager, DME , us-05 and some hallertau hops. goes down really nice!

if its a brigalow can. mine did the same thing, i bottled mine as per the instructions, didn't reduce the priming sugar at all. and it turned out fine. congrats on the new hobby BTW

you have a link to this ebay temp control unit?

okay next toucan i'm beginning to line up and looking for peoples input into my recipe im looking at making a beer similar to Coopers Extra Stout (i had on on sunday morning with my bacon and eggs and thought.....hhhmm delicious) would the following give me something reasonably close to that...

okay so in saying that there is a little benefit to this, but is not worth it. is it possibly to use the kit yeast as a nutrient like everyone has mentioned for another kit yeast?
