Hello all I have a quick question I have just tasted one of my recently bottled beers (Probably a little early but I couldnt wait!!). Now when I tasted the wort at bottling time it had a nice flavor but now after 2 weeks in the bottle it has taken on a slightly what can only be describred as a...

Well I will continue to rack my beer my last one was done when the primary ferment had stopped at around 1.006 but this time ive racked a little earlier 1.009 as I was a little worried about my beer sitting around with minimal co2 on top so I racked a little earlier so that a little co2 would...

well after consideration of all the racking related posts i decided that racking at 75% of primary was the average point most ppl suggested so i decided to use that though i went away for a couple of days and got home to find it dropped to 1.011 which by my calcs was finished so i racked, but i...

Hey I have tried what I think was this beer (had a few homebrews before I got it) from what I remeber it was OK cant coment on taste or aroma or style but I drunk the whole bottle so it must have been drinkable not that, that says much for the beer as I was toasted at the time

Thanks goat Sounds good any excuse to drink beer is a good excuse Clancys is a good spot, Id be more than happy to bring along some of my semi beer tasting beer Any day is fine by me except the 31st

Yeah the light was one of my concerns as well as the fact there not going to be easy to clean solid gunk off them as they only have a relativly small openeing but i suppose people use carboys and they have a small 'mouth' so there must be a bottle brush or somehting made to clean them. as far...

Hello again all Firstly thanks to all those who helped me out with my previous post "How much is enough" Now I have another racking related question. When I rack my beer I move it from my primary fermenter to a secondary. At this stage I do not dry hop or make any changes to my wort. So...

So is racking as simple as transfering my brew from one fermeter to another (whilst taking precautions to minimise oxygenation etc) and storing it in there for around a week or two? Lots of people on the net seem to have information about how the racking works but no real good explanations on...

Hi again I now have that second question for you all. I am thinking of racking my brew as I have read a bit on the net in regard to racking and it semms like the way to go as one of the things I didnt like about my mates home brew was the sediment and the obvious way to reduce the sediment is...

Thanks all for your advice I have invested in a hydrometer so i can measure and determine bottlig time, all seems to be going ok just keeping the brew at 21 in perths stinking hot weather has been a challenge. Once again thanks for your advice so far i will no doubt have another question or...
