From what I know -and this isnt a lot yet- if its cold they just go to sleep as mentioned so when you warm it up they should get back to work.

Yup shes great. I don't live with her yet so I might get into trouble down the line but I've promise to brew her a nice white wine lol. Just some stuff to bottle my second Lager. Coopers Pet Bottles ( Ox-Bar) 24 x 500ml Coopers Lager Beer...

My missus got me brewing stuff for Vday....well ask what I wanted an didn't shoot me down when I suggested the goodies.

Sounds great. I've just bought a Wilko Fermenation bin with the screw on top and airlock so I should be ok. If it gets to eager I'll stick some PVC tubing in and let the foam get out that way.

Yeah. My plan is 11 days check gravity 2/3 days check again. If its the same I bottle it for racking for a week. Then into the loft it goes.

First time doing a lager in Bottles. I'm using the Coopers PET and priming with Coopers Carbonation drops with 1.5 drops. So don't really want any bottle bombs down the line. :shock:

I'll be doing a Coopers austrilian Lager Kit next week and I'm wondering how aggressive the fermantiation is? I have to go on a business trip for 3 days half way through the first fermentation and I'm worried I'll come back to foam everywhere. My first brew was a youngs and it was quite a...

I'm looking for a good Lager kit for someone who likes Budvar?

I've bought a St Peters Ruby Red kit and I thought I'd buy the bottled version to try so I know what to shoot for. I've noticed being a darker ale it has a strong taste. Now I'm fairly new to Ales and as such I've been trying different types. I've found a few have a taste that I can only...

I finally Kegged my Beer and its sitting at 18-21 for a week. I put 85grams of sugar into the keg and sealed it. Now I've read that I should have double this. Is this correct? I doubt I'll be doing a Lager in a keg again, and I know I'll not get much carbonation but can anyone tell me if this...

I bought one last weekend ended up not using it. Its essentially just a tube with another tube inside. I was just worried as it says it should work with one pull but it might take a couple which I'm pretty sure will get air into your beer which you don't want. It also doubles in length when...

I dont know if the cap for the youngs is one way of its its designed to stop letting c02 out at the certain pressure.

OK thanks I obviously have 2 caps for this one with a valve and one without. Should I put the one without on just now then swap them when the pressure drops?

I have put sugar in to prime my brew but I have a CO2 bulb that I want to use to get the beer out. I know I wont get much Co2 because its in a keg but I want to know when to add the bulb. Just now, once the secondary ferm is done or when I want to drink it? Thanks

Didnt take one lol the kits OG is meant to have been 1040-1043.

Thanks guys thought it would be ok. Dead watery taste but I think it should thicken out once its had time to condition.

Hi again I took my first Hydrometer test today and got a ready of about 1.005/1.004 which is great but while I was using my thief to get the beer out I accidentally dribbled some on my hand and it went back into the FV. I haven't just contaminated my beer have I? Cheers

Gah thought so just wanted to check. What temp to they starting making them, I've heard some folk say over 25c

Do fusel alcohols get removed if you leave the FV for a while?

oh well cheers anyway
