    2nd brew, another Bootmaker

    No more action in the airlock after a few days. It's sitting at 20degrees, foam has gone and looks like the yeast has spent all the sugars. So much different than the last one with lazy yeast. I'll leave it another week and then check the SG

    First brew Bootmaker

    Just shy of 2 weeks in bottles and it's come out pretty darn good. It's very very clear but is quite dark for a pale ale. Flavour is good but I think the lazy yeast has suppressed carbonation a little as I'd like it a bit more bubbly. First bottle Second bottle

    2nd brew, another Bootmaker

    2nd brew, another Bootmaker

    LHBS said to do the Bootmaker with a can of light malt extract and do to 23L. I was just wondering if the can was equivalent to 1KG of dry or 1.5Kg of dry. All good. I went with Coopers recommendation and just did to 20L With the addition of the extra yeast sachet it's bubbling it's little head...

    2nd brew, another Bootmaker

    Got it all rugged up at the moment as its getting cold overnight. FV is in the laundry at the moment instead of in the FV fridge as I don't want it to stall like the last one the temp in the FV fridge is 15 and no heat source I think it will be too cold. This pic is the FV which by chance fits...

    2nd brew, another Bootmaker

    I understand that part but 1 can of LME is equivalent to 1kg DME and you make to 23L with LME so was curios why the sry is only 20L is all.

    Thanks guys! Far out where would a new brewer be without help from you blokes on here. [emoji106] Looking like its bottling time if the SG is still at 1014 today.

    First brew Bootmaker

    Another question I had was with the carbonation drops, should I crush them at all to aid in their mixing or just dump a lolly in each bottle and invert in a couple of days?

    First brew Bootmaker

    I'll check again this arvo and if it's all the same I might clean and sanitise the bottles
