Well that's my first beer brewed and bottled. Now it's on to waiting to drink it. While I'm waiting I'm starting the Mexican cerveza kit. Also looking at the coopers wheat beer kit for my next one. I think I'm hooked!!

Day 5 As per the instructions in the book I've taken a hydrometer reading today and it came out as 1.014 so it's getting there. The only worry i have now is that the crust has disappeared if the top. Should I give it a stir? Had a taste of the test specimen and it seems quite nice. Good colour...

Cheers everyone for the help. I'm just worrying it won't come out right! Opened the lid just to put my mind at rest today ( I know I should just leave it!) There is an orange crust developing and you can hear a bit of fizzing so it's looking good.

Thanks for the warm welcome

Thats good to know!

The SG reading was spot on. Not getting any bubbles yet though?????? I've got a bit of a foam coming on the top now though so i'm guessing the gas is heading elsewhere. My airlock bubbles are level, if you press the sides they shift but go straight back whilst im still pressing

My lager isnt bubbling at all but has got a foam starting now. Must have an air leak somewhere

Yeah I got the SG reading, it broke when I emptied the sample out. :( Can you pick up replacements of the same one as it was very simple to read. If not which should I be looking for?

I've bought a micro brew kit from coopers as it seems an easy way to start off. Everything went smoothly until my hydrometer dropped through the bottom of the tube and smashed on the floor! It's off and running now so hopefully in a week I'll have a good finished article to report on!

Hi everyone I've just bought a coopers micro brew kit and am about to embark on my first ever batch! Got the Mexican cerveza kit to try next as well. No doubt I'll have a few questions over the next few weeks
