I will have a look at the website and hopefully can make it better with your advice. Once my bottles have conditioned in a months time is there anyway of getting the lager out of the bottle without disturbing the sediment that is going to be at the bottom or is it just going to mix? How long do...

Yes defo going to batch prime next time but need to get another bucket as i only have one at the minute. Going to get one with a tap and maybe a little bottler. Just deciding on what to brew next. Think i fancy coopers european lager with a beer enhancer in it.

Thanks for the reasurance, im defo going to get a bottling bucket for my next brew as there is sediment already settling at the bottom of the bottles and hopefully this will get rid of this. I think it will anyway. What a great hobby this is.

Hi everyone, I have just finished fermenting my first ever brew and have bottled it. Im completely new to brewing and i must say thanks everyone on the forum for there help. I got the kit for christmas but am looking to get more kit asap. Cant wait to see the results of my hard work.

Can anyone help? I have just bottles my lager straight from my FV to my bottles by putting the sugar in the bottles first but as its my first brew i think i may have made a hicup by putting 1 teaspoon of sugar in 500ml bottles by mistake. Does anyone know what will happen as this is to much...

I have just realised i have made a right mistake, i have gone and put 1 teaspoon of sugar into each 568ml bottle instead of half a teaspoon. Will this cause any problems with my brew or cause any bottles to explode. I have read that lager kits do need more than bitter kits. Cant believe i...

All bottled up this morning and i had a little taste and it seems nice but would be better once its got its fizz. Will it clear whilst it in the bottle as its still a bit cloudy? Just a waiting game now.

My first kit this and im just about to botte (tomorrow), im going straight from fv to bottle by putting the sugar straight into the bottles before the brew. I have bought a syphon tape to make bottling easier then i plan to leave it for 4 weeks to condition. This is only what i have learnt on...

I will pop to asda in the morning after work for the sugar and a little funnel then. Im defo going to pick a bottling bucket up for the next one i do and maybe a little bottler depending on how easy bottling is tomoz without one. Going to do the coopers european lager next time, anyone get...

Right, managed to get a syphen tube tap, a bargain bottle capper(£4 tesco no box) and all my bottles are steralised ready for filling tomoz. What is the best sugar to put inside my bottles? Not going to be easy to get to my local brewing shop as its 12 miles away so should i wait till i can...

Now on day 8 and the gravity reading is down to 1010. Should i check it for the next 3 days to see if the reading is consistant? Would it be ok leaving the brew in the fermentation bucket until sunday as that my next day of or should i bottle it before? Next question is it ok to clean an...

I brewing a lager kit, i have got a tube click just need to get a tap now. What is a racking cane and the u bend for? I will use the tea spoon method even though it will take me a while but will have the misses helping me.

Thanks for that. Will have to put sugar in bottle first unfortunetely. Cant wait for it to be finished but will leave it in the bottles till the end of january which will hopefully be long enough.

I will have to do it by putting the sugar directly into the bottles as i dont have a second bucket and cant really afford to by another before it will need bottling as its the end of the month.

Update: Im now 5 days in and the reading on the hydrometer is 1020 so dropping nicely and smells lovely. Im hoping to be able to bottle my beer on tuesday as im off (if its ready). I was just wondering how you work out the final % of the brew if this is possible. And how much sugar to put into...

Ok so im now 3 days into fermenting and the brew has lost its head but is bubbling away nice. Is this correct to have no head. I know the bubbles should beer there but thought it would have a head till the end of fermentation?

I think will defo purchase another bucket and a littler bottler before i do my next batch. Evryone on her has been very helpful, Thanks I will keep this updated at each stage.
