i was storing the fermenter at 22 to 18 d celcius
I'd like to know if Alf has been licking his Bufo a bit too often? Would explain things.LAGERFRENZY said:like a worm virus dressed in the disguise of Bufo marinus this thing just self replicates until the interweb once known to brewers is completely dispersed.
I'm also having a crack at my first brew, I bought 2 of these pots from BigW and did 2 separate boils. I was hoping to make close to 30L but you lose a lot of steam with these pots. I'd suggest weighing the lid down with something to reduce this? Nice and cheap though for people low on funds such as myself. I think I'll be boiling a fair bit of wort in these for a while yet.bevan said:Big W have 19L for $20.00. That could help you get started on a small batch.

I also bought a 30L water container for about $25 (I think) at bunnings to use as my fermenter
My first brew has been fermenting for 12 days now![]()
No lids on the boil mate. That steam is carrying off stuff you don't want to remain in your beer.Stiftung said:I'm also having a crack at my first brew, I bought 2 of these pots from BigW and did 2 separate boils.
