Well the first brew is definitely improving in flavour. I'll give it another couple of months. Meanwhile, the second brew was started yesterday. Going for a Hoegaarden... mmm looking forward to this. Its been bubbly like crazy! Constant exhalation on the airlock.... and looks like there's been...

Thanks Kelby i was hoping this would be the case. So i guess transferring to another Fermenter and bulk priming might reduce the chances for yeast or sediment in the bottles?

Well the brew has been bottled for just over a week now. It was brewing for 2 weeks in the cupboard. Remained fairly well on 18 degrees for the first week then got up to 24 at times during the second week as we had some pretty solid weather come through. I actually just picked up a fridge last...

Thanks Ferg. Yeah Du, the only different from the OP was the US-05 instead of the kit yeast. Looking forward to getting stuck into it!! Went to G&G on Saturday to pick up the yeast and found the place was pretty packed. Eventually waited till it died down a bit then had a chat with one of the...

Well the first brew is in the Fermenter. Gave everything a quick clean with Brewclean then rinsed, then sanitised with a Brewshield solution in a spray bottle. Rehydrated some US-05 for 30 mins in 37degree water then added it to the can/brew enhancer mix. Topped up to 23L and away we go. OG was...

oh awesome!! Do i go in the lottery to win a guaranteed 1,000,000,000 pounds-sterling too? This day just keeps getting better and better

... I'd probably die of thirst before actually getting to enjoy the beer!

Cheers. Looks like i'll use this till its out then get onto the Starsan

@Goomba - thanks for the props, lets hope my head doesn't explode ;) i like to see myself as mature (except when i'm watching Family Guy). Yeah i had a look at that controller and looks like a good option. Now to just hang around the local Whitegoods store for an old one being thrown out! From...

i've come back a few times and read a few replies but haven't had time to make a full reply yet... each visit is taking me longer to read the replies haha

Greetings everyone! The names Robbo and today i've just bought myself a Home Brewing kit and am looking forward to getting stuck into it. I bought the Cascade Pale kit from Brewcraft in Richmond (Cascade Pale Ale + included yeast and Brew Booster #5) and have read through the "Brewing Crafts"...
