Got this put together on the 29th, pitched the yeast @ 20c & holding @ 20c, temp controlled. I will dry hop when I take the collar off. It sure looked and smelled terrific when I was mixing it. :D :super: Now comes the waiting & just as soon as I bottle this I am putting the Coopers draught...

Sorry, just wanted to be accurate as we use avoirdupois measurement here & some metric, more metric all the time though.

eventually, I will more than likely go to bulk priming but at present I am actually very happy with my results. When I get a few under my belt I will feel more certain & explore other options. Thanks okie1

grott, you must have been reading my mind, that is what I was thinking, there is much to learn but I am happy with the results so far, beats hell out of most hobbies. :super:

Thanks, yes, my kit came with a bottle filler, they work great but I may have had the tap all the way open, next time I will take it slower.

I think on my next bottling I will turn the valve on just enough to slowly fill my bottles, I may have been too aggressive this time & likely had it open all the way causing too much motion in the FV, we shall see. I am learning as I go. :chug: Thanks for all the input

Started cold crashing it this morning, I cranked it to as low as it will go, so far 4.9C or 40.8F, it may go just a bit lower. I will keep it there for a week or so & see how it is. Here in Oklahoma when summer comes if you did not have temp control your SOL when it comes to brewing. okie1

Everything is sanitized, sanitized, sanitized with Starsan, all the same & these are new pet bottles that came with my kit so I can rule out most problems. I am just bottling directly from my new Coopers DIY ferment vessel. I understand that the last few bottles may contain more of what is on...

Excuse me if I misrepresented myself, I am speaking of the numerical center such as bottle # 15, not the physical center, but thanks for the input. okie1

After about 25 days in primary @ about 19C I bottled my beer after FG was reached, but before hand I numbered my bottles 1-30 then bottled. Now here is my observation, I let my bottles carb for 4 weeks @ 18C & have tried a few during that time, I noticed that the numbers in the center of the lot...

I gave it go last evening & I can say that it beats anything I can buy around here. I will wait another week and do so again. I wish there were local brew stores close, the nearest is at least an hours drive each way so can't do that and keep costs down, have to use the internet.

No way I could wait for 5 months but you talked me in to it, I put one 750ml in the fridge & I shall give it a try this evening, thanks. I shall report the results, good or bad. :chug:

The thing is, it must be good beer to pass the Mrs. seal of approval, then it is onward and upward with no end in site. This is the good time of life, three years retired & loving every moment.

Greetings, just a follow up of my first brew, I started this on April the 4th, 3 weeks in FV @ 18c, bottled it and now has been 2 weeks conditioning @17c, I will wait one more week before giving it a try. I will say the Coopers DIY kit has it right, simply the easiest way to brew for a beginner...

Just an update, I studied for the last few months & read everything I could & did tons of research on the subject of home brewing, finally on April the 4th I went for it. Funny, with all the studying, when the day came to brew it went off without a hitch, everything went perfectly. Today is the...

I thank you for the encouragement, I feel better now, will start brewing soon, just waiting on a few additional arrivals.
