I am on my 2nd brew. I have just painted my fridge & wired up a fridgemate & all is going well. I currently have in the fermenter a Coopers Pale Ale, K & K using the tin, 1kg of Brew Enhancer 2, & Safale US 05 yeast rehhydrated. I also threw in the kit yeast into the boiling water when making the wort to give the Safeale something to feed off & make its job a little easier.
It has been bubbling away in the fridge nicely at a constant 18 degrees. I'll let it ferment for 2 weeks b4 bottling. Any feedback??
My last brew was a coopers mexican cervesa using plastic pet bottles & carbonation drops, & although the brew turned out ok, it had somewhat of a coke like feel in the mouth,different type of bubbles to what Im used to in a beer. Ive since learned that this is because of the carb. drops.
I will be bottling in glass from now on & have heard that Castor sugar is good for priming bottles & doesnt give you that coke like feel. But Im concerned about over priming & dont want bottles exploding in the fridge. I will be storing bottles back in the fridge @ 18 degrees until carbonated.
I have one of those Brigalow measuring units for tallies & stubbies & was going to use that..
I think as long as I let the brew ferment right out, I should be o.k but am just a tad concerned as its my 1st brew in glass & dont want the mess.
Any advice welcome!!!!!
