Gday all first post.......... :super:
Just a couple of questions/comments/opinions........
I just started brewing my first batch (ever) this month and just bottled today.... I wanted to know if this was normal....
I used a glass to empty about 500ml-1L from the bottom so the beer would run clear, it was pretty cloudy but I imagine thats the yeast residue right?? I started bottling when the beer ran clear....
Does anyone hear only brew small batches, ie. 10-15L at a time? Space is at a premium and would like to brew about half of what i've produced already with this batch...
I think I would also like to experiment with some of my own recipes down the track and want to brew smaller batches so as not to 'waste' ingredients/time...
My old man warned me to be careful cause you can get sick.... my uncle supposedly got pretty crook brewing his own batch and had to go to the hospital 8-10 years ago.
The question is, has anyone here ever got crook after a homebrew?? I imagine it's pretty much down to good hygiene right?
Thanks again for the site...... what a great resource for info!!!
