Thanks guys, yes I understand the importance of the specific gravity readings in determining whether fermentation has ceased. Was just curious to see if anyone else had experienced anything similar. Perhaps I should just adopt a “set it and forget it” approach and then I wouldn’t notice these...

Yes please!

Hey fellow brewers, I am on my second all grain brew using a Robobrew. My first was a Citra Pale Ale, which whilst in the fermenter bubbled along for about 6 days at a steady rate of about once every 10 - 15 seconds. I now have a Weizen style in the fermenter and in comparison this brew is...

Thanks guys, have cold crashed for 5 days then forced carbonation for 2, and this is my first pour ever! I think I may have nailed it. I didn't tell my son what style of beer it was and he said " tastes like a pale ale Mum". Woo Hoo ( I don't feel so bad about my $2000 investment now). Today...

Thanks again for those who have offered advice. Have kegged my brew today after 5 days of cold crash. Now in kegerator doing the carbonation thing. Question - what temperature should I be aiming for to serve the beer, its a Citra Pale Ale. Thanks in advance. PS - Managed to shower myself in...

Ok, next question.... after I assume that fermentation has finished i.e. by taking a hydrometer reading. How long do I have to let it sit for the yeast to "clean up"? Does this clean up process have to be at the same temperature as fermentation, or can I cold crash during this process? Thanks...

Ahhh clever, so your creating a closed system for the transfer I gather? Will give it a go, thanks for the tip. :)

Yes I guess it would be a bit faster with 2 people. Unfortunately my husband would be more of a hinderance than help and I would probably end up hitting him over the head with the CO2 bottle. So I will battle on alone and hope that next time I am a little better prepared. Day 4 and its still...

Thank you to all who offered advice. I did my very first brew today, all grain pale ale using a robobrew. Took me approximately 8 hours, and I guarantee I made every rookie mistake in the book! But its in the fermenter and sitting steady at 18.5 degrees with the air lock starting to bubble...

Hey all, I am new to brewing, and want to use my kegerator with a temp controller for my first brew. I am guessing that if the ambient temperature is lower than 18 degrees I will need some sort of heating pad to bring the temperature up. Also if the ambient temperature is higher only cooling...
