OK thanks for the advice, much appreciated :)

Hi guys and gals, I'm about to put my brew into 2L pet bottles, but I wanted to make sure I'm going to do it right! I'm going to empty the bottles and sterilise them and then rinse them out thoroughly. I'll then prime them with sugar, about 1 tsp per bottle. I'll take the fermentation bin...

Another important lesson learnt!! Ah well, at least my 4th one is more likely to come out right lol

Ok thanks for the help guys. I'll have to see how it goes! I put a load of water in a pan, heated it up to almost boiling point, and then poured the dextrose and the spray malt into the pan (slowly and separately!), and then stirred it all in so there was no bubbles. I then poured this into...

Hi guys, I'm brewing my 3rd beer, an IPA - India Pale Ale. I used 300G dextrose and 500G of the spray malt stuff. But I'm a bit concerned that my OG is 1.021, and the instructions say it should be around 1.042. There's 23L of water in the fermentation bin, maybe that has something to do with...

Thanks a lot for all the advice once again! I'll go and buy some 2 litre plastic bottles that had fizzy water in to avoid any exploding / infection problems in the future Good idea, I'll try out different amounts in each bottle to see what I like the best

Hello happy brewers, My green neck lager is at 1.008 SG, so I'll be bottling it within the week hopefully :D I used x10 2 litre bottles of water for my brew, and was planning on reusing the bottles to put it in now for 2-3 months. The lids of the bottles were closed straight after I emptied...

Awesome thanks for the info :cheers:

Hello chaps and chapesses, I'm brewing a coopers green neck lager (I think!) and I keep finding different instructions on when to bottle it. The instructions with it say after 5 days and the specific gravity stays the same over the course of 2 days, and on their website it says after 2-3...

Sadly not, very small house :( Massive achievement to even get it in the conservatory :?

Great, cheers for the advice! :thumb: I peaked about 4-5 times before I read "piddledribble"s advice, does this mean that it's likely to have gotten infected? :( I've got a shed, would the temperature fluctuations not be so bad in there?

Hi guys, New here so forgive me for asking such simple questions! I'm brewing a Coopers Green Neck lager, and it's in my conservatory. I've got a big black bin half full of water which I've put my home brew barrel inside. I've got an aquatic heater thing in the black bin to keep the "dirty"...
