cheers!

Thanks. What do these things taste like? Its not going to harm it leaving it in the fermenter for a while after its finished fermenting is it?

Cheers I was thinking the same. If it has finished how long is too long to leave it in the fermenter do you think?

Hi guys, Just getting back into brewing after a few years break from it. I started a brew on saturday consisting of thomas coopers IPA, 1kg light malt, 15g nelson sauvon hops, 15g citra hops, and 15g galaxy hops. I just used the yeast that came with the IPA. The brew started around 27C and...

Cheers argon, I'll probably bottle sat or sun, i had a taste when doing the Sg reading and it tastes quite nice already

hey guys, i've managed to rearrange the bottom fridge and fit the fermenter in there so i can crash chill it. how long does everyone recommend leaving it in there? Will a day or to suffice? or longer? because I wouldn't mind bottling it on the W/E

cheers, i put the airlock back in after taking a sample for the hydrometer and she's bubbling away again. HA :lol:

checked the s.g. yesterday and today and they were 1011 and 1010 respectively so I'll check it again tomorrow but there is still a fair bit of bubble action on the top so I assume it still wants to ferment abit more. What is the method for crash chilling?

ok cheers guys, It's been fermenting for almost a week now so I might just try and let it sit for a week to let it all settle. It works out good because i'm pretty flat out this week and won't have much time to bottle. Thanks for your help, I'm sure I will be requesting it again sometime in...

what do you mean by rack the beer off? Sorry i'm quite new to brewing

Hey all, I was given a tip to add hop pellets straight to the fermenter before pitching the yeast to add a nice hop aroma. i wanted to spice up a india pale ale a bit and tried this with cascade hops. The airlock's stopped bubbling and SG is at about 1011. I'll take another reading...

I can keep it pretty constant at 18c in the cellar so no probs there. Does it still ferment out well at that low temp?

I can keep it pretty constant at 18c

that looks awesome. i've got a ESB American Pale ale beer pack that i was going to start brewing next week but now having second thoughts. This looks nice. Might have to give it a try. it'll be my first stray from K&K but why not be ambitious. Cheers.

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has a good recipe for an indian pale ale. i'mnew to brewing but love india pale ale's and would love to try and brew my own

i'm just using an immersion heater. No probs so far and it's keeping the brew a pretty constant 22C, but we'll se as time goes on with sanitation issues. I'm not too keen on having this foreign body sitting in my brew

hey guys just to let you know, cracked a beer open and they seem fine, not much pressure in there considering what i thought it would be. I'll leave them in a warm area til monday then move them to the cellar. cheers for your help. Anyone tried the ESB Beer packs at all? Just got an American...

ok cheers guys, Thanks all for being so quick at replying. I think I'll have a go at rehydrating, if for anything just so I can say that I've done it ha.

Hi all, Just a question about pitching yeast. How come most kits just say to pitch dry yeast on top of wort, yet everybody else tells me to rehydrate the yeast? What benefits does rehydrating the yeast have? Just about to start my second brew. ESB American Pale Ale, so just wondering what...

ok cheers, recipe was just coopers pale ale kit, 1kg of brew enhancer, no added hops or anything. I'll give them a week and see how it goes. i'll let yas know if i have to replace any carpet in the loungeroom due to severe beer soakage. Ha
