Hi all, I bought a dodge Brewiser kit of Pilsner (are they dodge? I normally purchase the expensive stuff, but was lazy and in the IGA and saw it). I pitched the yeast at 28 last night at about 7:30pm and now at nearly 12 lunch the next day there's still no bubbling. Temp has been a...

mmmmm, at first it tasted... ok, not bad at all, a touch bitter... Then within a few more sips, it got a bit... Paint Stripper :( I can imagine headaches and the aftertaste was bitter and lasted a long while, even after a drink of water... No go I suspect :( I might bottle a few though and...

straight out of the fermenter? Is that safe? Don't laugh, I'm really still a learner :) If you do mean out of the fermenter, what am I testing for, the final taste (will it be similar to when bottled)... What else should I be tasting for? Thanks so much! Rob

Thanks all, I'll do the box thing, just got a big box the other day and guess what, it was lined with styro!!! perfect :) OK, another day passed and it's the same SG reading. I'll be bottling it this afternoon, but I'd like to ask, am I wasting my time, or should I just chuck it out and lose...

damn, that's not looking good, I'll try my best though, but perhaps I should really only brew in winter and drink all summer :( But this year, it's my first year of production. I just did a SG reading and it's at 1022. Seems high, but mine always have so far.... Fingers crossed, will tell...

thanks everyone, so do i bottle it and hope for the best if the SG readings are the same? would hate to throw out such a premium mix.... :(

Hi all! It's still bubbling, but slowly to be true... but well, how long is too long?! It's got a LOT of sugar and I think it's a ripper in the making, but I'm getting worried about how long she's been fermenting now... (17 days in fermenter so far) Here's the notes I've taken so far...

Great post (and the others also). Thank you and am glad to be here :) Rob

:) I guess question 1 should be: Where can I GET the gummy paper, the real stuff on real beer bottles, not home avery labels :) Thanks again though, great answers... Rob

Thank you both, a good point on the seal as I did for the first time take it out the other day and ...... hold on a tick! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! Just turned the lid an extra quarter and the bubbler just went BALISTIC! I mean, it's firing like a maniac. Makes sense now of course, seeing how...

Hi all, Loved a thread in this forum on Franko's labels and I do a lot of graphic design work and want to make my own lablels for my brews. The big questions are though: 1) Where can I get them printed onto that gummy paper stuff? 2) Is it worth my while, IE: is cleaning going to be a pain...

Hi all, I have just tried my first stout... I spend a few $ on ingredients, more than normal for me (over $35 for the ingredients) and here are my notes: Added to fermenting barrel on 25 Jan 2007 later in the evening. -Muntons Connoissers Range Export Stout -Town water used straight from the...
