After a bit of reading it does look like I have to be very careful with the amount I use. Airgead, I might go with your idea and put it a bag that way I can fish it out when it becomes to strong. Will use a Morgans kit for the base and go from there. I really think this could a great favor...

Having a Chai on the weekend when it hit me Nutmeg and Ginger Beer would be quite nice together. Has anyone tried this as unsure how much to use for 21litres.

Thats the second time I've heard about using gladwrap. How do you go about it? Are there any cons to doing it?

Looks like its the waiting game then. The water in the airlock was a mixture of over bubbling during fermentation and water. There was a few spots of mold on the lid of the fermenter but I cleaned and sanitized it before bottling. Being away for two lead to that. The bottles are plastic so if...

If your worried about mess mate just switch to a blowout tube like I did. It was really simple to do and saved me a lot of clean up.

Well in my excitement to bottle my brew, I forgot to take off the airlock. As I bottled my first one, I saw about half of the airlock suck back into the fermenter. Wouldn't be too fussed but some of the brew had bubbled into the airlock while it was fermenting and now I think I could have...

Leave tomorrow morning so won't be able to check it till I get back. It's still bubbling gently through the airlock though so it might be a while of yet. This is all guess work on my part though. It's getting to be 14C and 16C here will that slow or stop the fermenting at all? What do you mean...

Have two questions about my Ginger Brew. The starting OG was 1.040 and now about 2wks later it has dropped to 1.011. Around about what OG does the brew stop doing its stuff? I tasted it and there's still a strong taste of brown sugar to it so I'm thinking a while off yet? I have to be away for...

Just a little follow up. Replaced the blowout tube with the airlock this morning. It's still bubbling nicely but no were near the amount it was the last few days and thankfully not over the airlock. Everything was cleaned and re sanitized, so hopefully no infection. I think in the future I...

Well I took your advice and googled for some help. Came up with the solution to remove the airlock and replace it with a blow out tube. Got some sanitizer and soaked the tube and sprayed everywhere. It should help contain the mess. Got great some advice from local brewshop here in Toowoomba as...
