Good news, just checked the progress and the gravity is down to 1026 :-) And the taste test is looking very promising Cheers

Thanks Manticle, that's a big help, according to the brewcraft calculator (thanks grott) it should be about 1020, so I will turn the temp up to 16 and give the fermenter a gentle swirl then check it again in a couple of days

Manticle the brew has been sitting on 1030 since 09/04 And the yeast was saflager S23. Do you think I should try to get the yeast going again, maybe bring the temp up a little and give the fermenter a swirl? Or should I buy a new packet of yeast and re pitch? Thanks

Free to a good home 75 empty stubbies, mostly carlsburg and hienekin bottles. not using them anymore.

Thanks for the reply, I don't mind the stubbies. I used to be married so I'm used to boring and repetitive work

what is peoples view on heineken stubbies, my housemate just bought a slab and is saving me the empties.

well the beer has been in the bottle tor 3 weeks now and I must say it is supurb, im not getting much of a head on the beer but its carbonated just fine and the flavour is great. next week i start the next batch, possibly a czeck pilsner. thanks for all of the advice and encoragement especially...

thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

thanks manticle, im bottleing into 750 ml pet bottles, so do you suggest i add only 1 carbonation drop per bottle?

ok I have done the fast ferment test and the hydro reading is 1020, so is the wort in the fermenter. so should I just bottle it this weekend?

is the bottle tree and capper still available? PM me with a price please

doing the fast ferment test now

just double checked, its 1000. (facepalm)

quick question, what should the hydrometer reading be for plain (tap) water? Mine reads 1100.

no worries, thanks again manticle

Ive just read on the instructions that came with the converter the final SG should be 1010 to 1012, but that is for 21lt of wort, Ive done 18lt would that make that much differance?

ok, the beer kit converter contains:- maltose dextrose malto-dextrin malted barley fuggles hopps lactose I gave the wort a good swirl last night and it bubbled a few times since but not much. im thinking of letting it sit for a week and seeing how it goes

will do, thanks manticle

thanks manticle, I was planning on leaving it sit in the fermenter for another week or two anyway so i might give it a swirl and see how she goes, how does that sound?
