    First Hydrometerreading

    Probably wouldn't want to smell your brew too much, as tempting as it is...It only increases the chances of an infection.I usually take a reading after 5 or 6 days to see where it is. I've also left a brew for 3 weeks in the fermenter, as I work away...It turned out fine! Really cleared up given...

    I've found that since I've started using malt instead of just dextrose,And the addition of hops my homebrew is a lot easier to drink! Just experiment and see what works best for you!

    First Tasting Of Home Brew... Mates Loved It!

    Hops

    I had a look on the Yakima valley website... Wow!!!!!Huge selection! Might try a few different kinds, just get small amounts of each one and work out what works best..When you ordered from memory how long did it take to arrive?

    First Brew Done... Some Ideas On What Went Wrong?

    Kit was a cascade golden harvest lager.. And yes I've finished the second brew, and from what I've tasted out of the hydrometer tube I'm pretty excited to crack one of them open in 2 weeks! I'm guessing my local homebrew shop should be able to help me out with some better yeast options in the...

    First Brew Done... Some Ideas On What Went Wrong?

    I brewed it at 18 degrees... I'm just working on heating and cooling options at the moment..But it was a steady 18 degrees. Ingredients were just basically a kit and kilo of dextrose. Kept it simple for the first one.. I was thinking it could have been not enough yeast, because this second brew...

    G'day...

    Bottling

    I'll throw a couple in the fridge today and see how they go.For this second brew, I reckon I'll give the dextrose a go to prime my bottles. It's all about trial and error isn't it..?

    Bottling

    Almost ready to bottle my second brew... Within the next couple days..My first brew I used carbonation drops, as it seemed an easy option.
