Chin up Charger and Josh, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Beer will be fine. Cheers, Andrew. and just my luck behind that light there'll be a big fn train... :lol: But "on topic" any response to "how much extra yeast to add and should it be the same type as in the brew or just a...

Thanks for the replies people. re extra yeast when bulk priming, what quantity would i be looking at per 20-21lt of beer? re faded hop level, should i try dry hopping the 2 youngest ones? ( i haven't tried dry hopping b4). re Jayse with beer names. maybe the divorce was my own fault when prior...

:huh: due to marriage breakup i have had to keep my lagers lagering for longer than i expected. i have 4 x 20+ litre containers @ 0 C. the longest being just over 3 months now. being a newbie i'm unsure of the time frames on lagering. Are my babies going to be alright? :( i know my kids will be...

i had the same thing once soon scrubbed out a few letters and changed it to HOOKED! :P don't stress, crack a cold one and enjoy the trip.

Hughman666. Sorry to hear your news too, we were in a similar spot last xmas with our Rottie ,Cherokee. Sad day on the Kids and Missus. we hadn't planned on getting another dog. shouldn't have read the pet section of the paper the following day. Rottie pups for sale 2 blocks from our house. we...

here's a bulk prime calculator i've used. just pick your CO2 level from the supplied list change your settings ie F to C temp and oz to grams etc factors in temp and type of priming ingredient. :P http://www.geocities.com/lesjudith/Alcohol...Calculator.html cheers Stu

the most important things with HBing ,constanting reinforced by others more knowledgable on this forum are sanitizing,sterilisation and temperature. try and keep your temps from fluctuating too much. Plus the main thing is ENJOY YOURSELF AND HAVE FUN WITH IT :beerbang: keep trying new things...

:huh: As it was you first brew bottled i'm assuming the bottler was clean. you can pull them apart if needed for a thorough cleaning. if its just the sound and youre not getting heaps of froth I wouldn't worry. PS whether you bulk prime or prime each bottle I've found it heaps easier to have...

:P the Minister of War calls me a drunk and an alcoholic. But she bought my first fermentor for xmas. last month she came home from shopping with a Coopers Stout kit,a Draught,a Lager and a Real Ale. two days later two more lager kits plus a Stout, Dark Ale, a Bitter and another Draught...

:huh: Did you release the pressure in the fermentor? it may be just sucking back through the airlock otherwise. i crack the lid off a few turns to release the pressure.

i'll use any bottle i can scrounge as long as it'll crown seal and made to hold carbonated drinks. as to being clear, i've used heaps of Coldie,Tooheys Dry and Corona bottles with no issues. i keep my beer in crates in a dark cupboard in the shed and bottle lager in an old fridge. no real...

to twist or not to twist? that is the question. seriously though get yourself a bench capper(re bconnery) forget the hand held capper. it'll crown seal most twist top bottles and when it doesn't it's fairly obvious when you pull the handle so just reject that style of bottle. i've found just...

:P just to add to early post. if you want a dead fridge or one a bit dodgey(erratic temps) i got my second one from the Good Guys (Ballarat VIC) for $10. that's what the scrap metal guy will pay them for them.you can actually get a working one for that.just talk to them they're happy to help.

if you're using a dead bar fridge you'll need to do the same as me due to the pre mentioned"step". turn it upside down. i've got 2 on the go. one was fine as is the other needed some wedges to level it due to the door hinge. as for temp control i'm just using frozen salted water in soft drink...

:P NAH leave it and see. just check your air lock and lid for a good seal. cooler temp probably slowed it down. i'm still a newbie myself,got my first fermentor for xmas and will "cook" my tenth brew tomorrow. I've had one b4 that never bubbled but did hold a little pressure in the airlock and...
