Thanks for the reply, Yeah Im sure mine is at FG, however the cloudiness is bad, and there were some particles floating around. Was yours super cloudy? It just doesnt seem right? Thanks again, I don't want to dump this, but it looks so cloudy, not sure how this could come clear

Id like to chill it down, but its expected to be 40c every day here, and I use a swamp cooler the best I could go is about 14c

Ok so I raised the temp a bit, and it still appears to be very cloudy with some particles. It seems like its at FG, but very cloudy, tastes fine though, any ideas?

Yeah forgot to add the readings, My Bad. OG: 1046 SG: 1015 It smells fine, and the bag in the left corner is the Cascade Finishing Hops. The taste is very plain, but no bad taste or smell.

Hey All, Just got a few questions, Ive been fermenting a Mexican Cervesa at 14-18c for 2 weeks, and checked it for the first time today, it tastes fine a little week but nothing bad, however the look is a bit weird for 2 weeks. The Beer is still very very cloudy, and there seem to be a lot of...

Yes you could use bunnings bins, however a faster rotation of ice would be needed due to the non insualtion, plus on non brewing days, I can use the esky for its true purpose. Cooling the drinks :)

Took a few photo's this morning, well here it is. My $40 Swamp Cooler with one of the kids old sleeping bags, I was using 3 Ice Bottles and 1 Ice Divider, but had to remove some as on the 31c day that just past, the brew was at 12-14c. So now its nicely around 16c, The Cooler can hold 2...

Thanks for that, if it does stall is it just a matter of rising the emp again?

Hi All Well this is the first time im using a Swamp Cooler for a brew and this one is sitting at 14c, just wondering if this is to low, Im using trial and error to get it going, and the air lock appears to be bubbling. I am working on a good ice combo, to get it to around 16-18c, but wondering...

Yeah, this new brew has gone down with US-05, very excited

Well, My first 2 brews seem to have worked well, however at a bit higher temps than I would have liked, So last week I picked up a 90ltr esky to create a Swamp Cooler. And last night the brew began a Mexican Cervesa with lime, anyway got it all set and the temp was 26-27c, placed it in the...

Cheers, Is it definately an infection? just not sure if I should toss it, or bottle it

Hi all, Just checked my Aust Pale Ale that has been in for about 2 weeks, and it appears to have become infected, Ive had a few issues with this one, high ferment temp, wine smell a bit. But wanted to confirm if this one was lost, and what type of infection it is, and maybe what caused it.

I was thinking of taking the whole fermenter back to the HBS, however with the tap in it appears to be working perfectly with no leaks.

THanks for the replies, It was leaking with the gromet thing not the tap, I cleaned it the way i got it with the gromet plug, and that was leaking until I tightened it super tight. I have now put the tap in, and tightened it, not really that tight and it appears to be fine with no leaking, Im...
