Well the 2nd attempt at this brew is really coming along nicely! I made some adds to the brew though, 1 cup of malt and 350gms honey. Looking forward to trying this one out in about 3 to 4 months.

Sorry guys, I had to chuck it due to time restraints. I'm off to Cairns shortly and this was going to be my last batch before I leave. So she's gone down the gurgler but there's a new one on as we speak. Never mind though, this one's already bubbling after 2 hours, I'll be able to bottle in ten...

Hmmm ok, going with my gutty then........ will start it again tonight. I think the 34 degree temp probably killed it. Cheers again guys, much appreciated!

Cheers for that Steve. Great advice as always guys, thanks for that. Going to leave it and try and drop the temp down. This is what she looks like inside, bit of foam, bit of sediment.....lets just see what happens!

There's heaps of chunky sediment at the top. My gut says **** can this one and go get a new one. Temperature is now at 24 degrees

So i found this cascade Chocolate Mahogony and whacked it on last night. Problem is though when the yeast went in it was about 34 degrees. So she's not bubbling, what do I do? Tip it out, let it sit or shuddup and be patient?

I could manage that..........I'll be crawling up the walls but I'll manage....... :unsure:

Nice work guys, I've been thinking about getting a second fermenter so i might just have to put that on the list! PP, sounds like a plan, throw me a PM on yuor way over here and you can test some beers and tell me what you think. I've bookmarked those links and will study through them tonight...

hahaha even the handbrake got a laugh out of that one! we've been storing the beer in the kitchen next to the fridge so we're moving the stock to a spare room that gets a bit of sun through the arvo.....sounds like a gardening show doesn't it!

OK, the second batch is bubbling like a champion, it's actually keeping me up at night! So I think all is good there. As suggested ;) the wife and I cracked a bottle of the Coopers Stout. She's been in the bottle for 4 weeks to the day. Strong taste but not much fizz. Good head on her but...

Cheers for the advice guys. I think there's a good chance of "testing" the Stout tomorow as it'll be 4 weeks on the day. :beer:

Hey everyone. A very good friend got me onto home brewing so the wife and I have kicked off with what we hope will be a good brew. The first batch we did was a Coopers Stout hit a hint of Golden Syrup. That was bottled about 4 weeks ago now, will give it two or maybe three weeks more. I got...
