bump, still for sale guys, will take anything just have to get rid of it, good start up kit

Hi guys I am moving overseas soon, so i am selling my much loved, if very basic, home brew setup. Its not much but would be great for a friend starting up, or to boost your own supplies. Included: 44 PET long necks, used but washed 50 glass stubbies, brand new never used 1 fermenter with all...

how did you determine that fermentation was complete? (eg airlock stopped bubling, checked hydrometer readings over 3 days etc)

yeh i made one stout, and it was fantastic, way better than anything else i have made

any chance of getting some yeast from the bottle? or does it ALL fall out of suspension when lagering?

those borosilicate type glass ones are fairly robust, if you are using those you shouldnt have a problem

was the OG taken when the wort was hot?

sweet thanks guys. with respect to my innability to boil on the stove, i think it is a combination of having a crappy stock pot with a base that is concave and so doesnt touch the hot plate as well as i'd like, and also the hot plate turns itself off when it gets too hot, as some sort of safety...

AFAIK if you are going to drop hop into primary you are best to do it after the main activity of the ferment is over as this process removes some of the hop aroma, so i would suggest dry hopping around day 3 or 4 (?)

Thanks guys for the replies, i just did a test at home with 5 litres on the stove and i couldnt even get it boiling! looks like i mave have to rethink my strategy a little bit... <_<

Hi guys i am about to do my first extract boil, aiming for about 10 litres, how long roughly does it take a boil of that size to cool to pitching temp using the above method? That is really the only option i have at the moment, although i do have a 15L cube that i could use and place into the...

congrats, care to share the recipes? B)

looks good to me keeping the beers in the fridge at ~2C until drinking, after they have carbed up, wont hurt the flavour welcome to the site!

hahaha :D :icon_cheers: men after my own heart

wow interesting recipe there

im about to put down my first kits and bits (third brew total) and im leaning towards Dr Smurtos Golden Ale, extract version, sounds like a great beer which employs some new techniques i havent used yet, should be fun

nice link thanks!

if its fermented out then bottle (or keg) it up and try it again in a month, if it tastes fine keep drinking, if it tastes crap, try another noe

got any pictures? no matter how much you clean the fermenter, the nasties can still get in when you are putting the goop and other bits in and can take hold. Im assuming you didnt add any additional hops that could be showing up as floaties?
