i`ve never bottled anything before 10 days but i suppose if its done its done, im sure one of experts will chime in soon and let you know, what was the starting gravity???

Rule no. 1.....Dont get caught So long as everyone involved keeps their mouth shut the authorities will never know :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: loose lips sink ships

i had the same problem, pint after pint of froth from my corny, i had the regulator i bought from norm set to 10 psi but i think it was probably putting way more than that into my keg ( it looks a bit **** :cry: ) i disconnected the gas and released all the pressure and left it for a day then...

i used to put my bottles somewhere warm for a week and then back to somewhere cold to condition, now i have a corny, sooooo much easier.

thanks for the help guys, i went to check if it still made the noise when i disconnect from the keg and it did, so then i removed the grey pipe from the disconnect and the regulator and flipped it around and the noise came from the plastic connector on the disconnect this time so i chopped the...

Is it normal for my regulator to make a constant hissing noise??? this is the first time i have used my corny keg which i bought from norm a few weeks ago and im not sure if its supposed to do that. It sounds like its coming from the grey bit that screws onto the regulator and the grey pipe...

WOW :shock: I didn`t think it would be that long. When its finished fermenting will you rack it to another bin for secondary??? if so how long will you leave it before bottling/kegging???

OK thanks Mark. i read that lager yeasts take longer to ferment due to the colder temperatures, is this true? if so how much longer?

If it gets to 1.000 it wont be too bad but still nowhere near what i was hoping for, i`ll just have to wait and see.

If i had used the ale yeast that comes with the kit i would agree but i used this instead http://www.fermentis.com/fo/pdf/HB/EN/Saflager_W-3470_HB.pdf

OK so curiosity got the better of me and i`ve just been and put the hydrometer in the FV, ( sanitised of course ) it was at 1.016 at 13 degrees C i hope to god its not finish yet. :(

I suppose it will have to do. Nothing i can do about it now and to throw it away would be sacrilege :shock: I will let you know the FG when it is done fermenting.

yeah i filled it to 23L, i was hoping for something a bit stronger than that though 5%-5.5% ABV.

Hi all. What should the SG of a Coopers lager kit be??? i got all of the extract out of the tin, i added 1 KG of bog standard sugar and i gave it a good stir. When i checked the SG it was 1035 at 19 degrees C, this seems a bit low to me but the instructions say not to add more than 1KG of...

Thanks Aleman , i suppose it wasn`t such a silly question after all, i think ill go with the W34/70.

thanks for the links luckyeddie that was just what i wanted to know, good idea with the t-shirt, we did something similar with out water bottles (and some times even a can of coke) back in Iraq only we stuffed em in a spare black sock and kept pouring water on em reading those links has led me...

ermm... no, but im sure i can sort something out, its always cold in the stone shed out back, is it important?

hi all im planning on buying a coopers lager kit tomorrow and a proper lager yeast as im told the silver packets are ****. the shop im gonna be buying from has S-23 and w34/70, does it matter which one i go for and what is the difference between the two. :wha: thanks in advance dave.
