Hi I am about to start my next brew and have a few glass bottles which have some dried sediment on the bottom. I have rinsed them out and used a bottle brush to clean them out further. There is still a bit of sediment in the grooves on the bottom of the bottles. I have sanitised the bottles...

It is an NDbrewers fresh wort 15 litre mix and i added 5 litres of water to it. I then added the yeast and got a sample from the fermenter and the reading was 1035. It is down to about 1012 at moment so going down nicely. Hopefully will be ready to bottle soon but tastes great at moment

Hi I have recently bottled my Pilsner beer into glass bottles. The beer tasted alright from the fermenter and the reading was stable for more than 3 days. It has been almost two weeks and i decided to try a beer. It was pretty much flat with hardly any fizz and no head. Is there any reason...

I think it'll be alright. I just checked mine. Fermentation is down to 1017 from 1035 and working nicely. Just took a bit longer for the whitelabs yeast to get started. Mine is at 17 deg C and tastes beautiful so far. Will leave it fermenting for awhile before bottling.

I have tasted the wort on this beer and i'm looking forward to it. Has a great taste to it. I pitched the whitelabs liquid yeast in at 22 deg C and have left it a day. And now cooling it to around 16 deg C. The OG started at 1035 which i thought is low. It hasn't started bubbling but after a...

Hi Has anyone brewed the Cerny Pivo Fresh Wort with the whitelabs lager yeast WLP800? I would like to know what is the best temp to pitch the yeast as the wort would be coldish when pitching? Also what is the best fermenting temp for this brew? Thanks Jimi

Nice looking Pilsner Zipster. What would be a recommended yeast for a pilsner? I've brewed a few ales but never a pilsner so hopefully it will turn out ok. I put the yeast in when the temp was 25-28 and brought the temp to 18 at the time. I didn't notice any bubbling but the reading has gone...

Hi What is a d-rest?

Hi I have just started brewing a Brewcraft pilsner urquell with the w34/70 saflager yeast and added a bit of honey to it. I wanted to know what would be the best fermenting temp for this type of brew. It is currently sitting at around 18-20 degrees and seems to be fermenting ok. Not bubbling...

In the middle of brewing the amber ale. The osg started at 1.040 and has now been 1.011 for a couple of days. The beer has a caramel colour to it and doesn't taste too bad. Will leave it in the fermenter for a few more days. Temp has been sitting at 18 degress and used the original Morgans...

Not sure how much i used but definitely under 400g. Was maybe around 200g so hopefully still ok. Beer doesn't taste too bad so far from fermenter.

I have pretty much done the original recipe and added some treacle in it to sweeten it a bit. I have used the kit yeast as i din't want to wait to order some other yeast online so hopefully turns out ok :) It's sitting at 18 degrees and looking ok at the moment

Hi I'm currently brewing beez neez brewcraft and seems to be going along nicely. The temp was sitting at 20 degrees but the weathers been a bit warmer and now it's crept up to about 23 degress. Does anyone have any suggestions to get the temperaure down and also would it be best to get it...

Hi I've just finished brewing my first brew (Coopers Pale Ale) and it's nicely sitting in the bottles waiting to be drunk. Can't wait to taste it in 3-4 weeks. I received a beez neez brewcraft kit and am planning on doing this for my next brew. It contains 1 x Beermakers Lager 2 x Wheat...

Just another few questions :) The brew has now been going for about 6 days. I've checked the hydrometer for the past few days. It's been sitting at around 1.010. Still a bit of fizz in hydrometer sample but less than before. temp has been at 20-21 degrees constantly. Would this be safe to...

Looks like there's a ring of scum on the fermenter and smells like it's doing it's job. There is condensation on the lid. My hydrometer reading was 1.012 on one day. the next day it's around 1.011. ( I forgot to check reading when pitching the yeast so hopefully this is ok) My temp is sitting...

Hi I have started to brew coopers pale ale with BE2. I've kept it at a temp between 22-24 degrees. It has been brewing for 1.5 days now There are bubbles in the airlock and the water moves up and down very slowly. Is this a good sign or should it be bubbling quite a bit now. thanks Jimi

Hi I'm new to brewing and am currently making up coopers pale ale with BE2 and coopers pale ale kit. Just wanted to know how soon after you put the beer in the bottles can you put them in the fridge. Do you have to wait 2 weeks minimum? And after you put them in fridge will this affect the...
