3 consecutive nights at 1.012, plan to bottle on Monday due to the public holiday and having to work the weekend. If I drop the finings tomorrow arvo will it give enough time to do its thing?

Unfortunately sp0rk i don't have a spare fridge and i don't think the missus will be happy if i chuck the fridge contents into an esky for homebrew lol. Will be hopefully moving back to Hervey Bay by the end of the year, when i am set up and established up there i will be looking at a spare...

Will be running another test sample tonight which will be 24hrs apart and will check, It tastes pretty good I am so stoked. I have now got enough bottles between drinking (coopers sparkling ale, pale ale, extra stout 750mls and cricketers arms keepers ale and spearhead pale ale) and buying...

So.... After 10 days at 18oC I have hit 1.012, my question is because of the coopers enhancer will I hit sub 1.010. The fg on the pack is supposed to be 1.005 but that's with 1kg of dex, also when do I add the findings?

Thanks everyone for the feedback, danscraftbeer I was very particular about the cleaning and sanitising of everything that I brewed with. Can't wait to bottle next Sunday, when should I add the finning

Alright.... Just tested 1.018 strange thing though it's slightly carbonated out of the fermenter is this supposed to happen. Good news is that it tastes good which I'm stoked about, also wouldn't mind dry hopping with something any suggestions?

First of all thanks for the quick replies, secondly my yeast was the one that came with the pack (after researching mangrove jacks the from all accounts they were supposed to be good). I have not tested it yet apart from getting my og because I didn't think it would be done so early as I had...

Evening all, hope everyone is well. I put down my first brew on Sunday 29th May (mangrove jacks blonde lager with coopers no.2 enhancer), gave it a really good stir and pitched the yeast that came with the pack at 22oc and stirred through. Let it drop to 18oC and it's been constant at this temp...

I'm in the north west in Burnie

Yeah thanks guys, I did try the first sample when I took the og. Some really nice flavours but hard to imagine what final result will be when it's warm, flat and quite sweet. I hit 1.045 on initial reading, but unsure as to what final should be but I've planned for it to be in the fermenter for...

Hi everyone from down here in Tasmania. Happy to be a part of this forum with the great wealth of knowledge of you all. I put my first batch down on Sunday (mangrove jacks blonde lager that came with the starter pack but switched out the dex for a no.2 coopers enhancer) and she started bubbling...
