Were the grains crushed, were they not ??
What was his mash temp ??
Is that enough hops ??
ooooh look, accidental mash out !! Haha


I love it !!

Let us know how it tastes in a few weeks doc !

Love the jump in to the deep end approach. My first BIAB went great but the wort tasted wrong (not sweet like Kit and Kilo stuff) and I thought "the mash has failed, the mash has failed" so I put in a kilo of dex.

On tasting day it was glorious, but on fifth pint my mate and I were crawling around crying about why Princess Diana had to die and why don't they leave Britney Spears alone. :p
 
Thanks for the tips everyone! This is the sister and I have my positive pants on that it will be awesome! We shall let you know how awesome (or just ok) our first BIAB went in a few weeks...
 
sounds a lot like my brew days ....
=
crush grain
heat water
tip in grain
wait.....
boil
add hops now and then
put in cube
ferment
wait....
chill.. carb... and drink

ahhhhh beer :)

i reckon you made beer, well wort anyway....
get ready to enjoy it :)
 
I like ya style...balls that would not fit in a fruit jar/stupid. Keep us posted.
 
So minor update......, I havnt had a chance to bottle this yet!
I assume it should still be okay it's been in the fermenting fridge at 19d
 
Errr.. how long's it been fermenting for? Nearly 6 weeks by the look of it.
As long as it's sealed up and nothing nasty has gotten in it should be ok, but it's probably well and truly ready to bottle now. Personally, I'd bottle it asap.
 
Yeah pretty much 6 weeks , since the last post date. Is there any real negative to leaving it this long?

Should I skip the bottle and keg it instead.
 
Taste it.
I haven't head of a beer successfully being left on a yeast cake for 6 weeks. But I'm a rookie.
If it tastes ok bottle it, if it tastes like ass. Give up
