Ok thanks guys

1010, so near end ... seemed quick at 20 degrees

Kit and kilo added lid after I took off cling wrap (stainless steel) added co2 with filler gun (forgot name but fills from bottom) that has co2 option option when filling to flush out oxygen and leave co2 head ... Not it did not taste sweet but still alot of yeast in suspension (I find they are...

Hi there, brew had been in for four days or so, checked this am... pressure gone no bubbles.. possibly stopped brewing or it lost seal. Seal was fine. If it got oxygen to brew how long would it take to get spoiled or infection? I added co2 to it and then put lid on.. What are my chances? It...

OK I will get ready for the abuse :) Next door neighbour is interested in brewing - I was just getting prices for him of things and email ad came in for brewart. It looks like a great machine and for time poor people it looks ok. The beerflo looks interesting, only issue is 10 l. But prices...

Gus while I have you attention, I have some old weetbix that needs to be thrown out.... Do you think I could make a mix of weetbix and sugar plus all the bits of yeast and trub left over to make some new yeast to collect. I might warm/ partial boil the weetbix to sugars out like grain...

After reading this, I realized I have mostly likely chucked the yeast out and kept the trub and hops LOL

Thanks so your let all settle for a few days? how much liquid do you start with.. and versus how much yeast you finish with? thanks

Thanks - if I use this in the next week or 2 is that an issue?

LOL Did you keep the recipe and do it again :)

I think the beer is improving- I might have sent you all down the garden path - sorry .. either I was not well or beer now settled or I pulled from bottom that was not cleared although it was clear, (and I had pulled a few samples ) or it improves over more time.. thanks

Ok thanks, I have a wheat beer yeast and cant remember now, but I think it is a safale brand - how different is that to the us 05 or 04 - do you only use it for wheat beer recipes. thanks

Dry like you dry white wine (sauv Blanc) and Chardonnay is not so dry..... or you get some champagnes have a drier finish than others.... I know its hard to describe something as dry when its wet, maybe there should be a different type of description..

Lol 😂 like covid :) effects taste apparently.. don’t know it’s weird ...

Thanks it might be improving a bit as it’s settling more? Or I’m getting used to it. The other night it was very unpleasant but tonight it’s ok...? Improving...But it had been in fridge for a week..still dry I think. I probably prefer less dry yeast (any recommendations? Bry 97?) ... I have used...

Thanks...
