yeah thats a reasonable idea, cheers. ive googled chlorophenols. im in Perth and as i understand it, there is chlorine in the water not chloride. I flash the chlorine out by letting it sit for a day or two. maybe need to filter the water instead.
Yeah, it has happened when I did a twocan but for a single tin and the usual yeast, bit unusual. As long as it doesnt appear to be related to an infection, keep calm and carry on.
Thanks for the reply. No it was with water. I have never taken the lid off the fermenter so not used to whatever "other" smells are going on in there.

Hello all,
I have been doing this for some years now but never have seen this. I did a Coopers Hefe wheat with Coopers brew enhancer 3 and i took my eye away from the pot heating up the sugars, and the pot boiled over, leaving a thick viscos type liquid. I thought it would be ok to continue to...
Thanks for the above replies.
I just wanted to bring this to a conclusion by saying that if any newbie is in the same boat as me and not quite at the keg stage, i recommend transferring to a soda stream bottle. You can get them in 1l or 600m and they are durable, keep carbonation and decent...
Yep exactly, im trying to keep the yeast cake out of the beer and i dont re use it being quite primitive.
So my idea is to drain out the yeast cake after fermentation and maybe then add in the biofin for good measure and let sit for a few days for better measure. Good/bad idea?
thank you for the replies. So, draining the sludge at the bottom of the primary fermenter after fermentation is a no go?
That being the case I will try and get the temps down as much as I can and try Biofine.
Hi there all,
Would appreciate some advice in this, I am a basic Coopers Kit brewer with a good year under my belt and I want to produce a clear beer.
I bottle 1.25 litre bottles and the first glass is clear but after the first pour, you can see the sediment at the bottom of the bottle stir...
