Don't worry about the lack of bubbles in the air lock it makes no different to the beer. In my short brewing life I have had some that bubble and other that don't. Trust your hydrometer, foam and condensation are both good signs. Good luck.

I'm up in QLD it has been a stedy 18C, but I will take your and homebrewer79's advise and leave it another week.

Just today, yesterday it was 1001. I'm not 100% bottling tomrrow just an idea, in no rush.

it's been 8 days now and the OG was 1044 now it is down to 1000 nice and low. I'm going to bottle tomorrow, I have never had a FG this low before probably the enzyme I put in and it taste great maybe one of the best beers iv'e had!

Relax and enjoy a home brew, I can do!

I put a brew down a few weeks ago it was morgans Australian bitter and it never bubbled once in the air lock, I wasn't worryed I just assumed the fermenter had a leak. I bottled it and now i''m drinking it and it is all good. But now I have a mexican cervaza from Brew Craft in the same fermenter...

:kooi:

No need to get nasty now :o

I just tried my very first bottle of home brew it's still very young but I must say it's not bad at all, Taste a lot more full flavoured if that makes sense, like less watered down. I'm looking forward to a few more weeks to see what it taste's like then!!

VB=Vagina and Boobs :icon_chickcheers: VB=Very Best :kooi...

I'm not too bothered about getting the beer replaced, if it was a couple that were off I would be more inclined. It did have some minor damage to the lid small dints and scrapes so probably happened in transit. I could never think any thing bad of my beloved VB :beer:

;)

Yeah Yeah I'm used to coping shyt about being a VB drinker but I like it. I live in QLD but dam them mexicans make a good beer.

So I bought a carton of VB tallies today, I'm still collecting bottles (noob). When I got home I noticed the the box was wet and smelt nasty so I opened it up and checked the bottles, sure enough one of the lids was loose. I took the cap and gave it a sniff...........whooooooa what a stink like...

I have read a few posts on the forum about the FG dropping as low as 999. So I am going to just take my time with this one, cheers for the heads up.

Cool I will just stick to the standard sugars it sounds like it will be strong enough. I don't care about low carb I have a wife so no need to impress the ladies any more i'm working on my beer gut these days.

I am putting down the Brewcraft Mexican cerveza with the no 15 (500g dextrose 250g corn syrup and 250g malt) it comes with dried enzime. The HBS told me that the enzime brakes down the non fermentable sugars so the yeast can eat them is this true? they also said it will be 6% dose that sound...

I used caster sugar in each bottle, I used the messure that came with the kit and filled it just under full for each. The reason I'm worryed about over carb is the SG only dropped to 1014 it was the same of 3 days (brew was down for 11 days in total) but I just want to be sure.

Will do, I have only done one brew (second is on its way) and I used caster sugar and funnel but I would like to try bulk as well.

Thanks guys great advice. I want to check for over carbonisation after 10 days should I chill it first (so I can drink it) or is it best to do it at room temp?
